Raising the Bar in Survey Design with Enalyzer’s AI Surveys

Creating a compelling survey demands precision—each question and corresponding response option must be meticulously aligned with the survey’s overall purpose, research questions, and hypotheses. Done well, this process will offer a robust survey that provides valuable insights. On the other hand, a poorly constructed survey will fall short in delivering useful data. Imagine, then, if you had someone—or something—guiding you through this intricate maze, almost like holding your hand through each decisive turn. Enter Enalyzer’s new AI assistant, powered by OpenAI, designed to guide you through the survey design process.

📣 Upcoming Webinar: Unlock the Full Potential of Enalyzer’s AI Assistant

Excited about what our AI assistant can do for your survey design process? Join us in our exclusive webinar, ‘Design and Build Surveys Effectively with Enalyzer’s AI Assistant.’ Hosted by Henrik Nielsen, our Head of Research, this session will be a deep dive into leveraging the AI assistant for effective surveys.

At Enalyzer, our mission is to empower everyone to create impactful surveys that drive organizational improvement. We recognize that not everyone has the expertise to design an effective survey. Inexperience often leads to overlooked aspects, jeopardizing data quality. That’s where our AI assistant steps in, offering tailored guidance at each step, making the process less daunting and far more effective.

The Intersection of AI and Human Expertise

As AI technology becomes more integral to our daily lives—75% of employees use ChatGPT at work, for instance—we wanted to offer something more than just a standalone AI tool. Our aim is to encapsulate the sense of security and support your experience when consulting with our team members, from customer support to project managers. To this end, we introduced an AI assistant, powered by OpenAI.

This assistant guides you during the survey creation process, asking questions along the way to ensure that your survey is not just personalized, but also aligned with the crucial metrics and themes you aim to explore. Since it’s already integrated to Enalyzer, the survey will be created directly into the platform with a click of a button.

Tailored Assistance

What sets Enalyzer’s AI surveys apart is the focus on customization. By aligning your specific needs and objectives into the survey design, you get a tool that is perfectly tuned to your organizational requirements. This is not a one-size-fits-all approach; it’s about crafting a survey that is as unique as your project’s goals.

If you’re uncertain about what those objectives should be, worry not. The assistant is designed to help you brainstorm, asking probing questions to help clarify your goals. The more information you provide, the more refined your survey will be.

Collaboration Over Automation

Our AI assistant is a guide, not a dictator. You know your organization best so diverging from the assistant’s suggestions when they don’t seem to fit is not only welcomed but encouraged. Such collaborative efforts will most likely yield a more effective survey.

The assistant aids in defining the survey’s scope, advising on question types, and suggesting refinements, making the entire process more interactive and insightful.

We wanted to create an assistant that was, just like our support agents and consultants, an expert in Enalyzer. The assistant can translate your unique needs into Enalyzer-specific features. Our goal is to continually learn from our users to enhance both the assistant and the overall Enalyzer experience.
– Steen Ødegaard, CTO.

Best Practices for Engaging with the AI Assistant

Input quality determines output quality. While the AI assistant alleviates much of the manual work, it’s essential to remember that unclear or vague input will result in an equally unclear survey. Henrik Nielsen, our Head of Research, offers these best practices:

  • State Your Survey’s Purpose: Be clear about why you’re conducting the survey (e.g., to reduce employee turnover).
  • Describe Your Objectives: Specify what you wish to learn (e.g., insights into employee satisfaction regarding salary, benefits, workload, and culture).
  • Contextualize: Let the assistant know who is sending out the survey (e.g., we’re a pension and insurance company).
  • Be Detailed and Specific: Clearly state the outcomes you desire, the more specific you are, the more specific your survey will be (e.g., comparing employee satisfaction by department).
  • Avoid Ambiguity: Strive for precision to ensure your survey is equally precise.
  • Include Your Hypotheses: If you have assumptions or theories, like employees leaving due to lack of development opportunities, include them for testing within the survey.
  • Seek Additional Themes or Questions: Don’t hesitate to ask the assistant to suggest other crucial themes or questions pertinent to your survey.
  • Address Blindspots: We all miss details sometimes. Ask the assistant for any suggestions on questions or themes you may have overlooked to get a more comprehensive survey.
  • Assert Your Authority: You understand your organization’s context better than anyone. If you find any formulations, response options, or scales that don’t align with your insights, inform the AI assistant for necessary adjustments.
  • Pilot Test: Before fully launching your survey, always conduct a pilot test to gauge its effectiveness and make any final tweaks.

AI gives you superpowers – but AI is not an answer key. Always remember to go through the questionnaire AI suggests and use your common sense and critical thinking, and check that the questions align with your purpose and research hypotheses
– Henrik Nielsen, Head of Research.

Enalyzer’s AI assistant has the potential to significantly aid in the creation of thoughtful and effective surveys. It’s not just about automating the process, but about fostering a collaboration between you and the technology. This is how we believe we can best help organizations gather data that is actionable. Don’t miss the opportunity to elevate your survey design process.

Streamline Employee Exit Interviews with Enalyzer’s Webhooks

Employees come and go, but their knowledge shouldn’t have to leave with them. Exit surveys are an important tool to…

Employees come and go, but their knowledge shouldn’t have to leave with them. Exit surveys are an important tool to help employers understand why employees are leaving and what they can do to improve. But let’s face it, exit interviews can be time-consuming and tedious.

Enter Enalyzer’s webhooks. We can help streamline your exit interview process and provide valuable insights into your employees’ experiences.

💡 Get started with our ready-to-use Employee Exit template.

Effortless Automation

Webhooks allow you to pass real-time information between applications. In the case of exit interviews, Enalyzer’s webhooks allow you to automatically trigger exit surveys and send the data directly back to your HRM system, streamlining the process and saving you time.

Here’s a scenario: you’re the HR manager at a tech company. When an employee resigns, an incoming webhook triggers an exit interview survey. The employee will receive an email with a link to the survey, where they can provide feedback on their time at the company.

Once the survey is completed, an outgoing webhook sends the data directly to your HRM system, keeping all the information in one place.

The Benefits

Using webhooks with Enalyzer’s exit interviews has several advantages.

Save Time: No more manual send-outs or waiting until the end of an employee’s tenure to conduct an interview. With webhooks, you can gather feedback as soon as an employee resigns.

More Data: By triggering exit interviews automatically, you can gather feedback from a wider range of employees, including those who may not have been selected for a traditional exit interview.

Analyze and Take Action

To fully understand why employees are leaving, you need to analyze and follow up on the data you collect from exit interviews. Enalyzer’s reports make it easy to drill down into the results and identify trends and areas for improvement. With this information, you can make informed, data-driven decisions to improve the employee experience and reduce turnover.

Say goodbye to manual exit interviews and hello to insights and efficiency with Enalyzer webhooks.

Webhooks have transformed the way businesses automate workflows and streamline processes. When it comes to surveys, webhooks can significantly enhance the survey experience for both businesses and respondents. We are thrilled to introduce two webhook automations: an incoming webhook that triggers a survey invitation to a respondent and an outgoing webhook that sends the survey responses to an external system. Let’s dive into the benefits of pairing up webhooks with surveys to elevate your business.

Automated Survey Invitations

Incoming webhooks enable you to automatically trigger survey invitations in real time based on specific events, saving time and effort. For example, you can send a customer satisfaction survey immediately after a customer makes a purchase. This allows you to collect valuable customer feedback while the experience is still fresh in their mind, and eliminates the need for manual triggering.

Customized Experience

Enalyzer allows you to personalize surveys and survey invitations with merge fields, adding respondent-specific information to invitations. For example, for an entry employee survey, you are able to populate the survey and invitation with relevant employee data such as first and last name, department, manager name, and more. With incoming webhooks, you can feed in data and merge it into the survey and invitations, creating a more personalized and engaging survey experience for your respondents.

Integration With Other Tools

Outgoing webhooks allow for the automatic transfer of survey answers to an external system in real-time, streamlining the data collection process and saving time and effort. You can integrate with some of your favorite software such as Pipedrive, Salesforce, Trello, Power BI, Slack, and more. This allows you to work with the data you need when and where you need it.

Workflow Inspiration

CRM: Using Salesforce, Pipedrive, or other CRM systems? Set up an outgoing webhook to automatically send customer satisfaction survey responses. This allows you to keep track of customer feedback directly in your CRM and use it to inform sales strategies and customer service initiatives.

Online Businesses: An online business can set up an incoming webhook to trigger a customer satisfaction survey immediately after a customer makes a purchase. The survey invitation can include the customer’s name and order details, providing a more personalized survey experience. The responses from the survey can then be sent to an external system such as your CRM for further analysis and use.

Instant Messaging: Are you using Microsoft Teams or Slack? Then you can set up an outgoing webhook to automatically post survey responses to a channel. This allows the team to quickly view and discuss the survey results without having to log in to another platform.

Event Management: Use a registration form survey to register event participants. With the outgoing webhook automation, you can send the registrations to an external project management tool to automize your registration process. You can also set up an incoming webhook to trigger a satisfaction survey to participants immediately after an event has taken place.

Employee Pulse Surveys: HR departments can use incoming webhooks to trigger an employee experience survey each quarter directly from the HRM. The webhook can be set up to automatically send out personalized survey invitations to all employees as soon as the quarter ends. This eliminates the manual effort of sending out the invitations and ensures that the survey is sent out in a timely manner.

By using webhooks with surveys, businesses can take advantage of these numerous benefits and streamline their survey processes. With the real-time triggering of survey invitations and automated data transfer, businesses can make data-driven decisions and gain valuable insights into their operations. Whether you’re a small business or a large corporation, Enalyzer’s webhook automations offer the tools you need to enhance your survey experience and make the most of your data.

Use recurring surveys to stay connected with your workforce through the COVID-19 crisis

Recurring and continuous surveys are great tools that will help you stay connected with the reality of your business and…

Recurring and continuous surveys are great tools that will help you stay connected with the reality of your business and assess the development of the KPIs you’re observing. Even though the world is slowly opening up, there are many still working from home and these conditions will not be changing any time soon. Recurring surveys are a great way of keeping your workforce connected and guide them through this crisis. Reading time: 6 min.

In the space of a few weeks, the world changed and we have been living under the new normal for months now. For many of us, a daily routine consists of a quick walk from our beds to the study, dinner table, or couch. We keep colleagues and managers updated via instant message and daily or weekly video calls. We try to manage our families and keep out any distractions while trying to achieve our KPIs. Despite everything, humans are creatures of habit and we are settling into the new normal the best way we can. But things are not normal.

Your employees’ ability to adapt is not, necessarily, a sign that they feel supported. So, don’t stop checking in and measuring their engagement, well-being, and satisfaction simply because they seem like they’re dealing. The world is slowly opening up but many keep working from home and we can safely say that getting back to normal is going to be a slow process, so you need to set up a system for continuous measurement, aka recurring surveys.

Step 1: Make a plan

A survey plan consists of defining the survey’s purpose and cadence, as well as addressing accountability.

The purpose

Before you set up you distribute your survey, sit down with all the stakeholders involved, and determine the survey purpose. Ask yourselves these questions:

  • What exactly are we trying to figure out?
  • Why do we want to know?
  • What do we hope to do with the collected feedback?
  • Who is our intended audience or population?
  • How are we going to access that target audience?

Survey goals are the key to successful measurement, without them, you may end up with unusable data and unable to take concrete action. A survey without a purpose is a waste of time.

The cadence

Your plan also needs to include a timeline. Recurring surveys should not be sent at random; they need a schedule. The survey cadence depends on two things:

1. How frequently do the conditions you are measuring change?

Once you define your survey goals, you’ll know the conditions and topics you need to measure to meet those goals. To determine a frequency, you need to think about how often these conditions or employees’ perceptions of them meaningfully change.

2. How often can you follow-up and take action based on the results?

When employees share their feedback, they expect to be listened to. Surveying employees and failing to follow-up on the results can backfire by spreading mistrust, increasing disengagement, and leading to decrease future survey response rates.

When considering survey cadence, you need to consider how often your managers can review and react to survey results. A follow-up includes some communications of the results back to the employees and action plans and these things take time – consider how much resources you have.

Perceptions of remote work could change frequently, therefore, we recommend asking every 1-2 weeks for the most recent and relevant data. With Enalyzer, once you set up reports and distribute them, you can watch real-time data come in, minimizing administrative work.

Accountability

In order to implement changes or setup new initiatives based on the collected employee feedback, you need to find someone who will be accountable. This person or group of people need to have the interest and authority to implement initiatives and changes. The best candidates are your managers, including top management.

Step 2: Define your tool kit

Recurring surveys can be costly and resource-demanding unless you find a digital platform that can minimize the administrative work involved in data collection, as well as insight reporting and distribution. Enalyzer minimizes the administrative work that constant measurement requires and it can easily embrace your entire organization. 

You might also want to integrate with other tools you’re already using, such as Slack, Google Sheets, Gmail, or popular HR apps such as Namely and PeopleHR. With Zapier, Enalyzer can connect to more than 1500 apps, so you can transfer employee feedback wherever you need automatically.

Step 3: Design your survey

You are now ready to build your survey and you’re in luck because we have a Remote Workforce template that measures six challenges remote workers face:

  1. Work-life balance
  2. Distractions
  3. Lack of sense of belonging
  4. Lack of communication
  5. Lower reliability and accountability
  6. Increased security challenges

Furthermore, the template is meant to be used as a communication platform. There is a higher response rate when top management chooses to communicate through the survey.

→ Check out the template

→ Add a copy of the Remote Workforce template in your Enalyzer account

You can customize the survey to be more specific to your organization and the goals you’ve defined. For example, the survey can start with a short video greeting and a one-pager that briefly explains the organization’s goals and priorities.

Step 6: Set up recurring surveys

Survey plan ✔️ Survey design ✔️ Now it’s time to send your surveys. You can send them manually according to the frequency you’ve chosen or you can set it all up to run automatically in Enalyzer using organizations.

  1. Create an organization
  2. Create teams that reflect your organizational structure
  3. Customize employee profiles
  4. Import your employees via CSV
  5. Setup an automation to send the recurring surveys automatically
  6. Focus on making insight-driven decisions

Step 7: Setup reports and distribute them

Reports provide data as soon as feedback comes in, so you can understand what’s going on in your organization immediately and track the development over time with time series charts. Distribute reports with your managers and give them read-only access to the insights they need to follow-up on the results. Managers can check their reports after each recurring measurement and always be up to date on how their team is feeling, as the world changes.

Step 8: Take action and communicate

With every measurement, make sure you look into the areas that need your focus and if needed, readjust the next measurement. Ensure your managers are taking initiatives to address issues that arise from the survey results.

Consistent measurement is always a good idea even before COVID-19. It’ll be a while until we’re back to business as usual, so for now, make sure your employees feel supported throughout these uncertain times.

Accessible surveys with Enalyzer

At Enalyzer, our development team is always working on improving the experience for survey and report administrators, as well as…

At Enalyzer, our development team is always working on improving the experience for survey and report administrators, as well as respondents. Therefore, we’re excited to announce that Enalyzer surveys are WCAG 2.1 Level AA Compliant, in other words, we’ve made our surveys more accessible to respondents with disabilities.

What does this mean?

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) are a set of guidelines for making online content and websites accessible to people with disabilities. They cover things such as writing instructions in clear language, provide alternative text for images, and ensuring that anyone can navigate the website/application with just a mouse and a screen.

→ Enalyzer Accessibility Conformance Report WCAG Edition

Screen readers

A screen reader is an essential piece of software for a blind or visually impaired person. A screen reader, transmits whatever text is displayed on the computer screen into a form that a visually impaired user can process, usually tactile, auditory or a combination of both. In other words, screen readers can read the text aloud and/or communicate data via a braille display.

Enalyzer surveys are now compatible with screen readers. Best practice tips for you, the survey creators, would be to include the necessary text to enable a respondent to successfully navigate and complete a survey by using a screen reader.

Screen magnifiers

A screen magnifier is a software application that increases the size of text and graphics on computer screens. They work like a magnifying glass hovering over the screen, enlarging everything around the cursor for easy reading. Enalyzer surveys are also compatible with screen magnifiers.

Share the right insights with the right people

As Uncle Ben once told a young Peter Parker, “with great insight comes great responsibility.” Yes, he said this and…

As Uncle Ben once told a young Peter Parker, “with great insight comes great responsibility.” Yes, he said this and he was talking about all of us who handle important and sensitive data. Enalyzer makes sure that you can easily share the right insights with the right people.

Let’s say that you are handling employee feedback and you need to share the results with relevant department managers in your organization, for example, the Sales Manager should have access to the Sales employee feedback but not Marketing. The question then becomes, how do you do this without creating a report per department, city, salesperson or manager?

Short answer: Enalyzer.
Long answer: Enalyzer report versions.

What are report versions?

They are filtered versions of a report, for example, an Annual Employee Satisfaction report that only shows data for 2018 or for a specific department. Report versions alone are extremely useful because instead of setting up filters every time you want to monitor your data, you can just switch between saved versions.

Nonetheless, report versions also ensure that the right insight gets to the right people. Simply set it up and share it, or even better, create them and share them in bulk using CSV files.

When you share a report, those you share it with can view it and interact with it, but can’t edit it. They see the data you’ve set up in their report version.

→ Learn how to create report versions

Invite respondents automatically via SFTP

Sending survey invites via email by uploading CSV files is one of the easiest ways of sending bulk invitations. However,…

Sending survey invites via email by uploading CSV files is one of the easiest ways of sending bulk invitations. However, some people can catch themselves importing CSV files over and over and over again for the same survey. Are you one of those people? Well then, you might consider integrating Enalyzer with your SFTP (Safe File Transfer Protocol) server to automate the process and save time.

Automate, automate, automate

We’re about insight and informed decision making, that’s why we’re continuously improving the platform so you can spend less time doing manual work and more time elevating your business. Zapier remains an excellent way of connecting Enalyzer with 1000+ apps. However, you might want to connect directly to your SFTP server without middlemen, that’s why we brought you this feature.

Real quick, what’s an SFTP server? An SFTP server is a network protocol that provides file access, file transfer, and file management over any reliable data stream. In short, you can safely transfer files and directories between computers over a secure data network.

Let’s break it down…

Imagine you have a CRM (customer-relationship-management) system that automatically exports your customers’ information such as email and name as a CSV file to your SFTP server, and you’d like to send monthly survey invitations to them. What do you do?

Step 1: Connect your Enalyzer survey to a CSV file on your SFTP server

You’re already storing your CSV file in your SFTP server, all you need to do is connect it to your Enalyzer survey and ensure that any variables you might have are also transferred into Enalyzer, e.g. region, age, etc.

Step 2: Define the integration frequency

It’s time to select the frequency at which Enalyzer pulls the CSV file and sends the invitations. Let’s say you want to send surveys every month to your customers, then you can select “monthly” as the frequency.

Step 3: Select an invitation message

You’re sending out emails, so make sure you have your message invitation ready and simply select it while setting up.

Step 4: Make better decisions

Set up a report, sit back as results come in and use your time to retrieve insight and learn more about your customers.

We’re closing in on the end of the year, so we thought we would sum up 2018’s highlights, i.e. the features and updates made in 2018 that you absolutely need to know about. Maybe you missed some?

Score Calculator

Enalyzer’s score calculator is the perfect feature for making quizzes, online order forms and more. You can calculate scores for answers in quizzes or total up prices on an order form. Our score calculator, allows you to apply calculations and a score/price to your questions. Each response alternative to a question can be given different values, and calculations can be made on those values. Additions, subtractions, multiplications, and divisions can be made on the entire survey.


Background images from Unsplash

With images, you can better engage your audience while expressing your brand identity. We have a highly-skilled, amazingly talented design team that make our Enalyzer surveys, quizzes and forms look professional and eye-catching. But we know that not everyone has access to a professional photographer or graphic designer. This is unfair. Everyone should be able to create stunning surveys. To fix it, we teamed up with leading image provider, Unsplash, to give you access to over 550,000 high-resolution images right inside your Enalyzer account – for free.
To give you complete control, we have also added the possibility to stretch the images, so they take up the entire screen regardless of the device. Remember, Enalyzer is 100% responsive, which means it adapts to all screen sizes and now so do your images! You can also fix images positions, so even if the respondent has to scroll through a page of questions, your images will be fixed. Finally, you can select the alignment of images as well as tile them or not.

Response receipts

Your respondents asked you for the option to view, print, and change their responses and you asked us. A lot. So we brought you the response receipt. As a default, Enalyzer surveys include a response receipt button in the last element of your survey. The response receipt button allows respondents to change their answers, as long as your survey remains open. Regardless of the survey status (open or closed), the response receipt would allow respondents to always view and print their answers.

Wait a sec, what if I don’t want respondents to change their answers? There may be times when you’d like to disable the option for respondents to change their answers, for example, for quizzes! If you are testing people’s knowledge, they shouldn’t be able to go back and change their answers. Of course, we thought of that too, so you can disable this option and still give respondents the option to view and print their answers.

Website collector

Adding surveys, forms and quizzes on websites to collect data has great advantages. We know, you know, so we made it happen! We wanted to deliver something flexible and simple, so that you didn’t have to involve the IT department. Now, you can add your Enalyzer survey as a standard embed, a pop-op or a button, simply add a tag to your website’s HTML, activate the website collector and you’re good to go.

Bulk edits in reports

You created data series for your 2017 results and 2018 results and now you want to use them to benchmark 25 charts but it’s going to have to wait until the next day because you don’t have time to add them manually to every single individual chart. Not anymore!

As long as the setting you want to edit is shared by all charts, for example, all chart types can be displayed as vertical bars, then you can make bulk edits. Save time to do better and more important things, like evolving your business.

Share reports

We updated the way to share reports online. When you share a report online, the report reader has to log into Enalyzer or create an account if they don’t have one to access the report. The benefits? Report administrators now have full control to view their readers, manage their roles, and control their access to the report.

Report versions

When you’re monitoring your data based on different criteria, the last thing you want to do is define your filters each and every time you want to look at your data. With report versions, you can define your filter criteria once and save it for later use, for example, you can have one version filtered through the Brazilian office and another one for the London office.
And to top that, you can share your reports versions with others. In other words, you can share the Brazilian office results with the Brazilian managers and they won’t have access to the results of the other offices.
Oh, it gets better – you can create and share report versions at the same time with a CSV file. So, if you have to create reports for 100 managers, we got you covered. It’s an easy and simple way of controlling who has access to what.

Honorable mentions

  • Customize the “end survey” button. You can now edit the text of the last button in your survey, some of the most popular uses are: submit, contact us, and thank you.
  • Make a response option exclusive. If you have a multiple choice question that allows for multiple answers, you might want to make one of them exclusive, e.g. “none of the above”.
  • Profile pics. Personalize your Enalyzer account with a profile picture and let your team in organizations and workspaces see your pretty face.
  • Raw data download. Your survey’s raw data can now be downloaded as a CSV file. Plus, all downloads, Excel, SPSS and CSV, have a number of options on what data to include, e.g. only respondents marked as “completed” or for a certain time period. Finally, PRO+ users can generate a permanent link that allows downloading the raw data as a CSV file outside of Enalyzer.

We have big plans for 2019 – seriously – so keep an eye out for bigger and better things. We can’t wait for 2019. Happy holidays!

When and why you should add your survey into your website?

Want to gather information from your website visitors? Embed your surveys, forms, and quizzes on your website and collect data…

Want to gather information from your website visitors? Embed your surveys, forms, and quizzes on your website and collect data from the right people.

Email distribution remains the most popular way to attract respondents since you can invite the exact audience whose input you desire and track their participation. However, we must not overlook the advantages other survey distribution methods have, for example, embedding.

With Enalyzer, you don’t need to be a website developer. Simply add a tag to your website’s HTML and you’re good to go.

When should I embed?

There are plenty of scenarios where embedding is beneficial, here are just a few:

Registrations

This could be anything from event registration, to newsletter subscription, to job applications. If you have a detailed post about an upcoming event or are look to hire new people, you’ll see more and better results if they can register right then and there, instead of being redirected elsewhere. We recommend a standard embed.

  1. Go to collect in your survey and select the website collector
  2. Copy/paste the tag in your website’s HTML
  3. Click on standard embed and define its size
  4. Click ‘get code’ and place it where you want to embed your survey in your site
  5. Once satisfied, activate the website collector

Feedback

Make it easy for customers to contact you directly in every single platform, for example, people can now message you directly on Facebook. But why is it that the majority of companies think it’s enough to just list their phone number/email? Whether it’s a contact or a feedback form, we advise that you make it visible and accessible by adding a button on the corner of your website.

  1. Go to collect in your survey and select the website collector
  2. Copy/paste the tag in your website’s HTML
  3. Click on ‘button’ and design it to fit your brand. The button will be on the bottom right corner of your website.
  4. Once satisfied, activate the website collector

Website insights

The best place to gather thoughts and comments about your website and blog is at the scene of the crime (was that too gory?). This could be collecting feedback on recently redesigned pages, purchase experience, overall impressions. For this, we recommend pop-up surveys.

  1. Go to collect in your survey and select the website collector
  2. Copy/paste the tag in your website’s HTML
  3. Click on ‘pop-up’, insert the text, design it to fit your brand, and define the second delay.
  4. Once satisfied, activate the website collector

You can also fix images positions, so even if the respondent has to scroll through a page of questions, your images will be fixed. Finally, you can select the alignment of images as well as tile them or not.

Create engaging online order forms with Enalyzer

Online order forms should engage people. They should attempt to imitate an offline experience as much as possible and they are an integral part of a satisfactory customer experience. When customers browse your online store and are ready to purchase your goods or services, they should be met with hospitality and be attracted by your products/services, just as they would in a face-to-face interaction.

Calculate prices

If you’re selling more than one product or service then you need a form that can dynamically add up prices as the customer places their order. Enalyzer’s Calculator feature allows you to easily set these calculations up and merge the total score wherever you want. So, when your customer is done placing their order, you can direct them to an end page showing the total amount to be paid.

Brand everything about your form

Your brand should be part of your online order form. Use Enalyzer design features to add background images, change the font, and add images, videos, and even GIFs. If you’re looking for stock images, we’re glad to tell you that we’ve partnered up with Unsplash to bring over half a million high-res photos to use free of cost as your background image.

With Enalyzer, you can use other question types to further engage customers and elevate their experience. For example, display your products with image choice questions. If you allow users to upload their own designs, for example, printing logos on different merchandise, you can use an image upload question that allows them to upload the design they want to be printed.

Take customers down their own paths

Show custom messages depending on customers’ choices. Maybe an item is sold out, instead of removing it from your form, you can create a condition and show them a page informing them of when the item will be available again or ask for their email so you can inform them of its availability. Another option would be to redirect them to a page recommending other items they might be interested in based on their current basket. There are plenty of options!

Get notified when someone places an order

When a customer places an order, you need to be notified immediately. With Enalyzer, you can tag incoming responses and be notified when they come in. How? Let’s take the Business Card order form as an example, you can create a category for every package you provide and enable notifications. When someone places an order, you will be notified by email and are able to see the entire order.

Send invoices instantly

Just as in physical stores, when customers are ready to pay, they want to do it as fast as possible. Therefore after placing an order, they need an invoice immediately – like super fast!

Don’t freak out, Enalyzer, Zapier and 1000+ apps, aka the holy trinity of productivity, has the solution. By connecting your Enalyzer account to another app via Zapier, your customers will receive an invoice instantly after clicking submit my order.

How does it work? With more than 1000 apps, the possibilities are endless but we have a couple of examples.

Webshop apps.

We know what you’re thinking if I have a webshop, why do I need an online order form? Plenty of reasons! For example, in case you don’t accept online payments or you need to contact your customers before the payment, a webshop checkout process might not be convenient. Instead, they can fill out your order form, you can assess their order and continue to the payment process later. With Zapier, you can connect your webshop, e.g. Shopify, to your Enalyzer account, so when customers place an order via your Enalyzer form, Zapier creates an order in Shopify.

 

Invoice apps.

Maybe you have an independent website and use invoice platforms to manage all your invoices. No problem, we can handle that too. If you’re using an invoice app, such as Xero, Invoice Ninja or Wave you can connect them to Enalyzer and achieve the same result. A customer places an order via your Enalyzer form, Zapier creates an invoice in your app – voila!

 

Even simpler.

Have you heard of Webmerge? They automatically generate PDF and Word DOCX documents merged with data from other web services. Create a simple WebMerge template, sync it up with your Enalyzer account via Zapier. And instant invoices!

Make an impact with images and videos in your surveys and reports

When most people hear “survey”, they imagine a page or series of pages filled with rating scale questions asking them if they strongly agree or disagree. And we can’t blame them. Despite the available technology, most surveys are imitations of the good-old paper questionnaire. Now, don’t get us wrong, for many purposes this format works but don’t underestimate the power of videos and images. Multimedia engages an audience and can contribute to a coherent brand that is more likely to be remembered.

Enalyzer offers many ways to add videos and images to your surveys.

Clickable images

To engage respondents with the subject of your survey, you can present questions in a more colorful and interactive way. With Enalyzer, you can add image choice questions which allow you to add images as response options serving as a great alternative to multiple choice questions.

Interactive rating scales

Instead of a basic scale from 1-7, with Enalyzer, you can have a rating scale that features icons such as stars, smileys, and hearts. If you’re asking respondents to rate movies or a restaurant, they might be more inclined and engaged if they can provide a 5-star rating than just clicking on “I really liked it”.

Videos for better feedback

Questions can benefit from a visual component, actually, adding multimedia to your online surveys can improve your response rate, represent your brand, engage your audience, and more! If you think images can convey complex messages, the power of videos will blow your mind. For example, you can add training videos and test your respondents based on those or you can showcase your branding videos and receive feedback from test groups. With Enalyzer, you can add videos and images as independent elements and match them with one question or a series of questions.


Did you know?

One of the many benefits of adding videos to your survey is that it allows participants to stop and rewind so they can give feedback as they go.

… and for better reports

Make your reports more attractive with images and videos. Adding your company’s logo or an introductory picture can take your report from simple to professional in seconds. You can also make them more interactive with videos, for example, if you added a video showing your website when surveying respondents, you can add the same video to your report, so report readers can understand the context of the feedback they’re about to read.

Bonus info: think first impressions

Before respondents read an introduction to your survey or any of your questions, they will see your invitation and survey design. These are just as important as everything else. With Enalyzer, you can create nice, clean and uncluttered survey invitations and reminders. You can also make your surveys look professional and stand out with background images, logos, colors, and fonts. With the design possibilities, you can create professional looking surveys with Enalyzer that make a lasting impression. These will engage your audience from the start, ensuring a higher probability of your respondents completing your survey. Enalyzer is 100% responsive, which means it adapts to any and all screen sizes, this includes your logo and any multimedia you’ve added to your survey.

With Enalyzer’s categories and notifications, you can tag responses and receive email notifications when incoming responses match your criteria. This way, you can stay on top of incoming responses and react to them immediately. Does this sound useful but abstract? Well, it doesn’t have to be. To help you make better decisions, we’ve compiled 3 useful examples that you can use as inspiration.

Customer satisfaction score (CSAT)

CSAT is a broad term that encompasses various types of methods and survey questions to assess the satisfaction level customers have of your product/service or interaction with your company. Depending on your goals and objectives, your customer satisfaction survey can range from a single question, a set of questions, or a long survey. Nevertheless, the following question, or a similar one, should always be included:

“How would you describe your overall satisfaction with this product?”

Once you’ve done that, depending on your chosen scale, you can categorize your respondents into supporters, neutrals, and critics. You can activate notifications for the supporter and critic categories and be alerted on the incoming responses that match this criteria. In other words, from then on, you’ll get email notifications whenever a customer is satisfied or dissatisfied with your service/product and contact them instantly.

 

 

Expense reimbursement

When employees spend their own hard earned cash on business-related expenses, they have to be reimbursed. Didn’t you know that? Awkward… Anyway, this can include business travels, lunches and/or transport. Many companies have an Excel template that employees have to use every time they need to be reimbursed, however, with Enalyzer you can make this easier for everyone involved. As the HR responsible, set up a reimbursement survey where you ask about the type of expense, employee details and an expense amount. Once you’ve done this, set up a category based on the expense type to keep a tidy overview. Enable email notifications and you’ll know when someone needs to be reimbursed. No more Excel. You’re welcome.

Répondez s’il vous plaît

You are planning an event, for example, your birthday and you’d like to know who is coming and if they’re bringing +1s, so you naturally set up a quick survey to handle the RSVPs. Divide your guests into three categories, those that are attending, those bringing +1s and those who are not attending. Once you’ve done that, you can enable email notifications on all or some of the categories and keep up with your growing guest list!

Looks don’t matter? Try again. First impressions are crucial at job interviews, first dates, meeting the in-laws and when inviting people to answer your survey.

Looks are not the only thing that matters, true, however, all the time you’ve spent crafting your survey invitation and reminder won’t matter if your invitation doesn’t grab people’s attention. Plus, you have crafted a visual identity for your brand that should shine through in everything you produce, including your survey invitations and reminders.

Wait… does that involve some sort of knowledge in HTML?

Nope, at least not with Enalyzer. We decided to make it as simple as possible for you, without compromising on your ability to make your brand shine. You can easily add your brand’s colors, fonts, and logos for a professional and enticing eye-catching design. This goes for survey invitations and reminders.

As with everything, your invitations and reminders are 100% responsive so your respondents can be wowed regardless of the device they are using. Last but not least, instead of creating new designs from scratch every time you send out a survey, you can reuse your messages.

Pro tip

Include your survey into a workspace and your teammates will have access to its invitation and reminder messages.
