Surveys

Ask the right user, at the right moment.

A survey shown to everyone tells you very little. ReleaseDock surveys run inside your widget, reach only the people you target, and send every answer to a sensible next step, from a review link to a follow-up question.

From blank survey to first answers

No separate survey tool and no extra script. Surveys run inside the widget you already embed.

1

Start from a template

Pick Net Promoter Score, Customer Satisfaction, Customer Effort Score, Product Market Fit, a quick poll, an open question, or a review request, or start blank.

2

Choose who and when

Target by sign-in status, JWT attribute, or URL, then set a trigger, a frequency, and optional start and end dates.

3

Launch and read the results

Confirm the start and watch scores, the completion funnel, and answers arrive. Export to CSV anytime.

From the first question to a useful answer.

Pick the question, decide who sees it, and send each answer somewhere useful.

An in-app survey card stepping through a choice question, a 1 to 5 rating, a smiley scale, and an open text question. Example survey. Answers are not saved.

Everything surveys can do today

Eight question types

Single and multiple choice, dropdown, open text, rating, smiley, NPS on a fixed 0 to 10 scale, and a link step.

Four standard scores

NPS, CSAT, CES, and PMF with a trend over the life of the survey.

Branching

Jump to any later question or the end, based on a choice, a number, or text the answer contains.

Targeting

Signed-in status, JWT attributes, and URL rules, all of which must match.

Triggers and frequency

Page load or a time delay, then show once, recurring, or on every visit.

Fatigue window

One project-wide setting that stops survey after survey for the same person.

Start and end dates

Schedule a start and an end, and the survey switches itself on and off.

Results and CSV

Funnel, answer breakdowns, signed-in versus anonymous, CTA click-through, and a full CSV export.

Safe edits

Running surveys lock their questions so results stay comparable. Duplicate or stop one to change it.

The practical details, before you sign up.

Which question types can I use?

Eight: single choice, multiple choice, dropdown, open text, rating scale, smiley scale, NPS on a fixed 0 to 10 scale, and a link step with a call-to-action button. You can mix them in one survey. Matrix and ranking questions are not available.

How do I show a survey to only some of my users?

Add targeting rules. You can require signed-in or anonymous visitors, match a custom attribute in the JWT you sign (equals, not equals, or exists), and match the page URL (equals, contains, or a regular expression). Every rule has to match, and a visitor without a JWT never matches a rule that needs one.

When does a survey appear?

On page load or after a delay you set, once the visitor matches your targeting. Only one survey shows at a time and any others wait in order. In single-page apps, URL rules are checked again when the route changes.

How do I keep surveys from annoying people?

Each survey can show once, recur on later visits, or show on every visit. On top of that, a project-wide fatigue window, set in days, holds back every other survey for someone who was just shown one.

Can I send happy customers to a review site?

Yes. The Review request template opens with an NPS question, sends scores of 9 or 10 to a call-to-action step that links to your review page, and asks scores of 0 to 6 what fell short. You can build the same pattern with branch rules on any NPS or rating question.

What do the results show?

NPS, CSAT, CES, and PMF scores with a trend over time, a funnel of shown, started, completed, and dismissed, answer breakdowns per question, signed-in versus anonymous respondents, and click-through on call-to-action steps. Scores and the funnel are exact; breakdowns use a sample of up to 500 responses, and the CSV export always includes every response.

Can I change a survey after it starts?

While a survey runs, its questions, options, order, and branching are locked so results stay comparable. You can still rename it or change the end date, duplicate it into a new draft, or stop it to edit again. Collected responses are never discarded.

Do surveys need another script or tool?

No. Surveys render inside the ReleaseDock widget you already embed, in its Shadow DOM, using your widget's primary color. They appear as a slide-in or a centered modal, whether or not the visitor opens the widget panel.

Are surveys included in the trial?

Yes. The 7-day trial includes up to 5 surveys, and surveys are included on every paid plan.
