Introducing the All-New Pre-Capture Screen for Web and Device Surveys!

Now you can streamline your surveys with the Pre-Capture Screen, a brand-new feature designed to improve your data collection process across both online and offline platforms.

What is the Pre-Capture Screen?

The Pre-Capture Screen is a dedicated screen that appears before your survey begins, allowing you to gather key information like contact details or context-specific data, making your surveys smarter and more efficient.

Why You’ll Love It:

  • Available for Web and Device Surveys: Whether your surveys are hosted online or on devices at physical locations, the Pre-Capture Screen works seamlessly across both. It provides a unified, consistent experience for respondents, whether they’re online or interacting with a kiosk.
  • Gather Essential Information Before the Survey: Use this screen to capture critical details such as names, email addresses, or unique identifiers before the respondent dives into the survey. For online surveys, this improves data accuracy and reduces survey length. For offline settings like retail stores or restaurants, staff can easily pre-fill this information before handing the device to customers for their input.
  • Fast and Easy Setup: Adding the Pre-Capture Screen to your survey takes just a few clicks. In the survey builder, simply choose Pre Capture Screen from “+Add Questions” in the Survey Builder and start adding questions.
  • Customizable Navigation: Pre-configured buttons like "Get Started" and "Back" allow for smooth transitions, ensuring that the Pre-Capture Screen fits into your survey flow seamlessly.
  • Single-Screen Layout: Multiple fields or questions added to the Pre-Capture Screen will display on a single page, making the data collection process clearer and faster for your team or customers.

Perfect for Multiple Use Cases:

  • Online Surveys: Easily pre-capture critical respondent details like contact info or customer IDs to set up a smooth survey process.
  • Offline Surveys: In environments like restaurants, retail stores, and kiosks, staff can quickly pre-fill information like table numbers or purchase data before passing the device to the customer, speeding up the feedback collection process.

Introducing Hidden Variables Sync with Response Details – No Respondent Tracking Required!

You can now capture key insights from hidden variables, even when respondent tracking is turned off. This enhancement makes it possible to collect and view hidden variables in response details without needing to identify or track the respondents.

What’s changed?

Previously, hidden variables would not sync if respondent tracking was disabled. This limited the data you could gather while maintaining respondent anonymity. Now, hidden variables will seamlessly sync with response details, allowing you to gather the critical data you need—without compromising privacy.

Who is this for?

This update is ideal for users who prioritize respondent anonymity but still need to capture contextual data through hidden variables. Whether you’re conducting anonymous feedback surveys, gathering sensitive information, or simply aiming to maintain user privacy, this feature offers the best of both worlds—anonymity and insightful data collection.

Use Cases:

  • Anonymous Feedback Surveys: Collect anonymous survey responses while still tracking important variables such as user segments, regions, or feedback channels.
  • Event Registrations and Polls: Gather data from participants without needing personal identifiers, ensuring complete privacy while still accessing valuable insights.
  • Market Research: Analyze hidden variables like survey source or campaign ID without linking it back to individual respondents, preserving participant confidentiality.

How you'll benefit:

  • Maintain Anonymity: Ensure respondent privacy while still capturing meaningful data through hidden variables.
  • Deeper Insights: Sync hidden variables directly with response details, giving you richer insights even in anonymous surveys.
  • Enhanced Flexibility: Use hidden variables in various scenarios without worrying about respondent tracking limitations.

Start using the new hidden variables sync today, and take your anonymous surveys to the next level! Log in now to try it out.



Target Multiple Pages with Web Widgets

While taking feedback on websites, in-product and in-app, it’s very crucial to show the surveys on the right pages. 

You can now add multiple target links and pages when launching web widgets like a side tab feedback button, popup surveys, slide up and bottom bar. Once you set this, the widgets will automatically launch on the targeted pages. You don't need to update the JS Code on the website. 

This gives you greater flexibility to control where your visitors and users view the survey making your surveys very relevant. 



Link Survey & Web Embeds now moved to a new Distribution Tab

Link Surveys, QR Code Surveys and Web Embed Surveys now have a new home. You can find them in the 'Link' tab in the Survey Distribution section. While all web widgets continue to exist in the 'Web' distribution tab. 

We were made aware through customer feedback and queries, that it wasn't the easiest to find Link and Web Embed options when they were placed in the Web Widgets tab. And therefore decided to give you an easier way to find and start using Link and Embed Surveys. 

A new look for Survey Responses

Survey Responses are one of the most viewed at Zonka Feedback, only second to Reports. And with all the growing options and information, we decided to give it a makeover. Both to make it look better and to organize the information better for easy access and viewing. 

The new Survey Response page now has two sections - on the left, you can view the Survey Response in detail along with Contact Information and CX Metrics and on the right, you can view Contact details, Channel information, Tasks, Notes, and Activities. 

The redesigned Survey Response page now is sleek, and intuitive and ensures that you're able to view all relevant information very consiely and clearly. 

Take a look and let us know your feedback. 




Now view Hidden Variables for Partial Feedback

Until now, when viewing partial feedback in your Response Inbox, hidden variables and survey variables were not available. But now you can view hidden, survey and contact variables for Partial Responses, just as you can for completed responses. 

This means you can also filter Partial Survey Responses by any variables. 

This works with all of the methods of passing variables, including query strings, uploading CSV and sending emails or SMS or using Public APIs to send emails or SMS.

(This would be available only for Partial Responses submitted after June 30) 

A New Email Survey Editor & New Email Survey Design

We have optimized our WYSIWYG Email Survey Editor, added more customization options and improved the Email Survey Design as well. What this means — easier editing, more control and amazing-looking Email Surveys. 

What's new and improved?

  • 🚀  Improved Spacing
    The line breaks and paragraph spacing has been improved, and made cleaner, leading to better readability of the email surveys and optimized line heights. 
  • 💌  Better Email Client Compatability
    Email clients vary across devices and platforms, each with its unique rendering quirks. We've meticulously tested our email surveys across a wide range of email clients to consistent display and compatibility, regardless of whether your recipients are using Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail, or other commonly used clients on both desktops and mobile.
  • 🖌️ Design Updates
    You can control a lot in the design — remove the email survey border (making it look very sleek, but this is completely optional), remove headings, text, signature and the works. 

New & improved way to install the Feedback Widget

Integrating Survey Widgets into your website has become more user-friendly and visually appealing with our redesigned JS code installation page. We have incorporated a sleek new interface that simplifies the process and ensures clarity throughout.

To enhance the installation experience, we have introduced a 'Verify Installation' button. This convenient feature allows you to validate whether the code has been correctly implemented on your website or not, providing peace of mind.

Additionally, we have included helpful documentation links that serve a dual purpose. They offer step-by-step instructions for seamless installation and serve as troubleshooting resources in case any issues arise during the process.
