Launching a survey

Post by marksmithhfx » Mon May 10, 2021 9:11 pm

Hi folks, I have the most basic of internet questions. I would like to launch a survey hosted on another site (survey hero) and then when the user is finished with the survey, have it return to my mobile (iPhone) app.

Possible?
How?

Thanks

Hi Mark,

does Survey Hero offer an API you can use?

If not - can you load it in a browser widget?

Thanks Stam, that worked like a charm. Didn't even have to code anything. Added the widget, a url to the survey and made sure "user can interact" was checked and it worked perfectly. At the end, since the browser was on a card with a nav bar, the user can just easily navigate away.

Thanks a bunch, your response got me over the hurdle of "where do I start?" 😊

Glad that worked :)
Also, good to know a nice way to incorporate survey functions into the software... hadn’t occurred to me before but this is something I will be needing as well...
