Setting up survey questionnaires

Surveys (also referred to as Questionnaire) consist of a set of questions that can be used to gather feedback. All Tellofy surveys include two mandatory questions pertaining to the Net Promotor Score (or NPS). You can add additional questions (if required) to the survey based on your business needs. These questions should be such that it helps you to understand your customer's insights in a better way.

A survey is available publicly only when it has been associated with a location/event/entity. You can create separate questionnaires for each of your stores/locations/entities or events.

At the time of account creation, a default survey is automatically added and linked to your main location.



The default questionnaire is a very basic one that only contains the NPS questions; you can use this survey, as-is, edit it or create new surveys.

Typically a Tellofy survey questionnaire consists of  multiple questions:

Question1, pertains to the NPS (Net Promoter Score) rating ; this is a mandatory question that respondents must fill out in order to proceed.



Question 2, has two parts - part 1 pertains to providing details about the NPS score given, this is a mandatory question and users are not allowed to proceed till they provide an answer. 

 

Users can type in text or can use the speech to text option to have their voice transcribed and fed into the text area.
