This thread is only for feedback related to the collection of personal information through a survey page. We can't guarantee a commitment to deliver on this feature request but it should indicate some awareness that we have heard your feedback and could be taken under consideration for a future release. We've started to look into some options on our end to include a type of form that would collect personal information but there aren't any immediate plans to implement this in the product.

 

 

Since the original post, the option to rank answers either in order or on a scale is now available. We have active feature request threads for having the ability to include skip logicallow users to enter a comment, and edit the closing Thank You page. We ask those who come across this page to either comment or vote on these threads directly so your feedback is stored in the proper place.

Please list the company name and institution on survey feedback. It saves a great deal of time in analyzing data.

Any progress on these topics?  Every time CC "improves" their experience, it totally screws up our business.  I need the ability to request customer information like name, email address, and order number in my survey.  Also, our survey is a customer satisfaction survey with the same questions all the time so we can accurately gage our performance.  You now LIMIT the period of time the survey is active to 12 months!!!  I want to make the survey, set links to it on our website etc, and then forget about.  I don't want to have to deal with it every 12 months constantly having our website group update the link when it's re-published.  I may have to ditch CC on this one.  Please FIX THESE THINGS

Frankie_P and anyone else from CC who is listening - this topic has been around for a year.  Is CC going to fix the survey product and give us back critical functionality that was taken away with the new product or not?  I have over a dozen clients who have said that they're about to jump ship on CC if things aren't going to get updated.  (Thanks for working a little bit on the reporting, but that was some time ago.  What about skip logic, limiting responses to one per computer, contact block questions, etc.?)

Would love an additional option for a sign-up page using the same templates as a survey with more distinct "question" options like name, email address, phone number, etc...

I see customer requests dating back to at least 2021 to add / collect contact information from survey respondents. It is June 2023 and still no action from Constant Contact? What is the status of this long-standing and reasonable request (especially since it was already part of the old survey forms)?

Not really the level of response I would expect tbh

I figured out a work around that is perfect. I am disappointed ConCon didn't offer this idea themselves after all these years of customers complaining. SMH.

 

I needed a sign up form for our organization's volunteers - not just sign-up or a survey, but the dual ability to let them choose tasks they want to do and collect their contact info. Survey tool was the closest thing ConCon offers.

 

The solution: To collect the contact information, add text questions under your survey questions. I used the text "questions" as labels for name, email, and phone, which should all fit within the text field of up to 50 characters; the larger answer box of 250 characters works for address. I made these questions mandatory and solved my own problem. Here is a screenshot of that lower section of my survey.

 

Hope this helps the thousands of ConCon customers waiting for a solution from the company we pay to solve these problems.
