Surveys

Surveys are a standalone Formspring product with their own builder, inbox, and public renderer at /s/{slug}. Each survey is a multi-screen interview: one question per screen, with branching, scoring, and resume support that classic single-page forms do not provide.

• Branching. Send respondents down different paths based on what they answered.
• Scoring & outcomes. Tally points per answer; resolve a named outcome at the end.
• Resume. A respondent can close the tab and pick up where they left off.

Create surveys from Surveys → New survey or from a template. Question types include rating, NPS, opinion scale, ranking, picture choice, and signature.

Public URL

A published survey lives at /s/{slug} (legacy /s/{public_id} URLs still resolve). Finalization happens via /s/{public_id}/complete, which materializes a real submission in your inbox.

What you keep

Webhooks, automations, autoresponder, AI moderation, retention, exports - everything that fires for a classic submission also fires for a completed survey response.

In-flight buffers

While a respondent is answering, their partial state lives in a separate buffer table - not the submissions table. Buffers are pruned by the same retention sweep that prunes old submissions. Once they hit Submit, the buffer becomes a real submission and the link sticks around so you can audit the path they took.
