# Surveys

> Learn everything about surveys in a Zuddl event

<Note>
  **Supported event types**\
  Virtual ✅ |  In-person ✅ |  Webinar ✅ |  Field event  |  Third-party
</Note>

Surveys in Zuddl give organizers a native, friction-free way to capture structured feedback and first-party data before, during, and after an event. Because they live inside the same platform that drives registration, engagement, and analytics, surveys inherit your branding, obey role-based permissions, and feed downstream systems in real time—no third-party embeds or messy CSV joins required.

## Question builder

Inside **Engagement › Surveys,** you launch a drag-and-drop builder that supports single-choice, multi-choice, 1–5 rating, Net Promoter Score, Likert scale, open text, and dropdown inputs. Each type enforces validation on the client side, keeping datasets clean for analysis. A numeric rating field restricts letters, so no one enters “great” where you're expecting a number.

## Placement & timing

Surveys surface in four ways: pre-event on the registration confirmation page, mid-session as a side-panel card, on the Thank-You page immediately after the stream ends, and post-event via email magic-link. Placement flexibility solves for context; a five-question demographics survey belongs at registration when users expect form-fill, whereas a one-tap NPS belongs on exit while emotion is fresh. \
A fintech webinar triggered a single-question NPS overlay four seconds after broadcast end and achieved an 83 % response rate, versus 27 % when the same question went out by email the next day.

## Real-time analytics

A live dashboard shows total responses, completion rate, and distribution charts by question type. Because Zuddl stores each response as a time-stamped row, you can correlate sentiment spikes with agenda items.

For example, the satisfaction dipped precisely when a demo crashed.

## Use Cases

* **Session ratings:** Speakers read live ratings mid-track and adjust pacing; attendees feel heard when issues resolve immediately.
* **Sponsor qualification:** Booth surveys ask budget range and timeline, scoring leads onsite so sponsors leave with prioritized lists instead of raw badge scans.
* **Certification compliance:** Training events embed a quiz and automatically issue certificates only to those scoring above a threshold, satisfying professional-development boards.
* **Product feedback:** Road-map voting surveys tell product managers which feature announcements landed, guiding Q4 sprint priorities.
