Note
  1. A survey merge tag is mandatory to send survey based campaigns without which a survey report cannot be generated properly.
  2. If you don't have a survey merge tag you can choose one of our predesigned templates with merge tags embedded in it already. You can edit the merge tag if you want.
  3. To dynamically include contact information(name, email, etc.) using custom variables, you should add the same variable(URL parameter in Zoho Survey) in your survey's URL when you send it out.

Survey Reports

Once your campaign is sent, you can view the survey results in the Report Summary. The Campaign report shows the number of surveys delivered, opened, and clicked, In addition, Survey Reports highlights the following:
  1. Number of contacts who have completed/started/yet to start the survey
  2. Responses given by each contact
You can also view the list of contacts and their related activities on a completed survey in the Survey Reports page, as well as the reports section in your SurveyMonkey account.
