Conversational surveys mimic a natural back-and-forth chat, increasing user engagement, completion rates, and data accuracy. Unlike traditional forms, they feel like a conversation; personal, responsive, and fluid.
Step 1: Plan Your Survey Flow
Start by outlining the structure of your survey. Think of each question as a chat message.
Use these tools to visualize the flow:
Structure example:
- What is your main reason for using our product?
- How often do you use it?
- What improvements would you suggest?
Step 2: Write Prompts for ChatGPT
Each question should feel natural and engaging. Here’s a simple format:
Hi there! We’d love your feedback.
What’s the main reason you started using our service?
A. Save time
B. Learn something new
C. Get support
Please type A, B, or C to continue.
Use this approach throughout the survey for a smooth, conversational tone.
Step 3: Deliver via ChatGPT or a Tool
You can run the survey inside ChatGPT, or use tools like:
Connect these with Make.com or Zapier for automation, and store responses in Airtable.
Step 4: Add Personalization with ChatGPT Memory or Custom GPTs
With Custom GPTs or Memory, you can:
- Remember names and preferences during the survey
- Adjust tone based on responses
- Send personalized follow-ups
Step 5: Test and Deploy
Before going live:
- Test all branches of the conversation
- Check for logical dead-ends
- Ensure all data captures correctly
Deploy on:
- Your website chatbot widget
- Email campaigns
- In-app onboarding
- Social media DMs
Use Cases for Conversational Surveys
