Create Your First Survey
From an empty workspace to a live, shareable survey.
This walks the whole path once. Later articles go deeper on each step.
1. Start the survey
Click + Create in the sidebar and choose Survey. You are offered three starting points:
- Blank — an empty survey you build yourself.
- Template — a ready-made survey you edit.
- AI — describe your goal in a sentence and get a full draft.
If you would rather be walked through it, choose Survey — guided instead, which asks four questions and builds the survey from your answers.
2. Add your questions
Use Add question to append one, then pick its type. Drag the handle on the left of a question to reorder. See Question Types.
3. Check it
Open Preview and answer the survey the way a respondent would. Switch the preview to the phone frame — most survey responses arrive on a phone.
4. Publish
Set the survey to Active. Only an active survey accepts responses.
5. Share it
Publishing takes you to the share screen: a copyable link, a QR code, social buttons and an embed snippet. See Share Survey Link.
6. Read the results
Responses appear under Analyze → Results as they arrive.
Tip — Send the link to yourself first and submit one answer. It is the fastest way to confirm the whole path works before you send it to anyone else.
