How Text Message Surveys Work

Text message surveys allow you to send a series of questions to your customers or employees to request their feedback. Whether you need to measure satisfaction with NPS scores or collect votes for a contest, text surveys can help.

Watch along with our on-demand demo to learn how to set up a popular type of survey known as “text to vote.” To participate, all your audience has to do is text a keyword to your number. They’ll instantly receive a message with multiple-choice options. Then they just text in their choice and our platform will tally the results!
