Redesigned and improved web and in-product surveys

 

New Feature

  

Redesigned and improved website and in-product surveys Survicate Survicate 1.png

We improved the design and functionality of Survicate's website and in-product surveys. Their new, modern look goes hand-in-hand with easy customization. So that you can create on-brand surveys faster than ever.

What's changed and why it matters

  • New modern look: Better readability, larger elements, and improved contrast make your surveys easier to answer

  • White-label surveys: Add your company logo and customize your design to create surveys that match the look of your brand

  • Flexible survey size: Web surveys now automatically adjust their size to their content, improving the display

  • Improved validation of respondents' answers: We check your respondents' answers and display an error message if they didn't fill in some survey fields correctly. E.g., "Please enter a valid email address."

How it works

All your newly created surveys have the "New light theme" set by default. You can also take advantage of the new Personalization feature. It allows you to add an avatar and write a short greeting message in the widget's header. Enable Personalization while editing your theme in the Design section.

You can change the appearance of your old surveys manually. To do so, choose the "New light theme" in the Design section of the Create tab.

The new design is accessible to all customers on all plans. Get more tips about survey customization in our Help Center.

Introducing: Smartlook Integration

 

Integration

You can now integrate Survicate with Smartlook, an analytics tool that lets you track and analyze user behavior on your website or web app. Go to the Integrations tab to connect with a single click.

What's in it for you

With the Survicate + Smartlook integration, you can link user feedback with user behavior. All to better understand your customers and improve their experience with your brand and product.

Here are some ideas on what you can do:

  • Understand the 'why' behind your users' behavior by asking them for feedback via website or in-product surveys
  • Find out what elements of your website or product need improvement
  • Learn if those who left negative feedback had issues while interacting with your website (and fix them)
  • Improve audience segmentation and targeting based on customer insights

How it works

Before you start, set up web tracking in Smartlook and launch a survey with Survicate. Then:

  1. Go to the Integration tab to connect Survicate with Smartlook
  2. You'll receive survey responses as custom session events in Smartlook
  3. Watch session recordings and link them with survey responses to better understand your users' behavior

Visit our Help Center and learn how to get the most out of the Smartlook integration.

Translations: create surveys in multiple languages

 

New Feature

  

Illustration_ Translations.png

You can now translate your survey into multiple languages at once. By localizing surveys, you can reach your customers in their preferred language.

What's changed

Previously, you needed to manually create multiple language versions of a survey to get feedback from respondents around the world. Now you can automatically translate your survey into any language. You can also analyze your survey results in one place to get a global overview or filter responses by language.

Here's how it works

  1. In the Create tab, click the 'Translations' icon on the left side of your screen.
  2. Then add the languages you want to translate your survey into and choose between manual or automatic translation (Google Translation).
  3. In the next step, you can edit the translation provided by Google Translate if you want to (or add your own translation manually).
  4. Configure, connect and launch the survey as usual. Your respondents will see the survey in their browser language.
  5. Once the responses come in, you can analyze all the results in one place. Filter them by language to get a better understanding of the different markets.
