View Survey Responses
How to browse individual survey submissions, understand analytics dashboards, and interpret rating distributions and per-question metrics.
After customers submit surveys, their responses appear in the dashboard where you can review individual submissions and view aggregate analytics.
When to use this
- You want to read what a specific customer said about their experience.
- You need to monitor overall satisfaction trends (average ratings, submission volume).
- You are investigating feedback related to a specific booking.
- You want to compare response rates across different questions.
Viewing individual submissions
1. Navigate to survey submissions
Go to Marketing > Surveys, then click on the survey whose responses you want to view. Select the Submissions tab.
2. Browse responses
Submissions are displayed in reverse chronological order (newest first) and include the following columns:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Customer Name | The respondent's name, pulled from the linked customer profile or from the name they entered when submitting. |
| Customer Email | The respondent's email address. |
| Booking Code | The confirmation code of the linked booking, if the survey was sent via the automated workflow. Click to navigate to that booking. |
| Overall Rating | The star rating from the first star_rating question in the survey. Displayed as stars for quick scanning. |
| Submitted At | The date and time the survey was submitted. |
| Responses | The full JSON of all question responses. Expand to see individual answers. |
3. Paginate through results
Submissions are paginated with 25 results per page. Use the page controls at the bottom to navigate through older responses.
Viewing analytics
1. Open the analytics tab
From the survey detail page, select the Analytics tab. The analytics dashboard provides aggregate metrics for the selected survey.
2. Understand the metrics
Summary metrics
| Metric | Description |
|---|---|
| Total Submissions | The total number of completed survey responses for this survey. |
| Average Overall Rating | The mean of all overall rating values (from the first star_rating question), rounded to 2 decimal places. Only includes submissions that have a rating. |
| Submissions Last 7 Days | Number of submissions received in the past week. |
| Submissions Last 30 Days | Number of submissions received in the past month. |
Rating distribution
A breakdown of how many submissions received each star rating (1 through 5). Use this to spot patterns:
| Stars | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 5 | Excellent -- customers are highly satisfied. |
| 4 | Good -- generally positive with minor areas for improvement. |
| 3 | Average -- there may be issues worth investigating. |
| 2 | Below average -- look for common themes in text responses. |
| 1 | Poor -- immediate attention recommended. |
Per-question analytics
For each question in the survey, the analytics dashboard shows:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Question | The question text. |
| Type | The question type (star rating, text, etc.). |
| Response Count | How many submissions included an answer to this question (non-empty responses only). Compare this to total submissions to see the response rate. |
| Average Rating | For star_rating questions only: the mean rating across all responses. Other question types do not have an average. |
Submissions in the CRM
Survey submissions are also accessible from the customer profile in the CRM. When viewing a customer, you can see all surveys they have submitted across all bookings, providing a complete feedback history for that individual.
Tips
- Check analytics weekly to catch satisfaction trends early. A sudden drop in average rating might indicate a new operational issue.
- Compare the "Response Count" per question against "Total Submissions" to identify which optional questions customers skip most. Consider making important questions required, or rewording skipped questions.
- Use the rating distribution to identify whether a low average comes from many mediocre ratings or a few very poor ones. The two scenarios require different responses.
- Look at text responses from customers who gave 1-2 star ratings first. These contain the most actionable feedback.
- The "Submissions Last 7 Days" vs "Submissions Last 30 Days" comparison gives a quick pulse on whether response volume is increasing or decreasing.
