Surveys allow businesses to run two-way engagements over SMS, where they can send and receive feedback from their customers. This is made possible by the SMS channels i.e. Dedicated short codes and shared shortcodes (learn more).

Users can run inbound and outbound surveys on the platform, i.e. surveys where users opt-in to participate in a survey or businesses can send the survey to the recipients.

Mteja allows businesses to easily structure and automate conversations using SMS surveys.

Users have access to a feature that enables businesses to easily structure and automate conversations referred to as SMS Flow. The functionality is a visual building tool that allows users to meet needs such as; conducting surveys, NPS, automating lead acquisition & onboarding processes, and facilitating support among other activities. To learn how do you set up an SMS Flow, click here.

You have the option to use an existing SMS Flow that had been previously created on the dashboard, or you can create a new SMS flow as part of the setup process.

Once you choose whether to use an existing flow or to create a new SMS flow, the next step is to configure the survey keywords:
Opt-out: This allows a survey respondent to end their participation in the survey
Opt-in: This allows survey respondents to join the survey, using the keyword(s) set

Reset: It allows a respondent to restart the survey, any previous responses inputted will be discarded.

Please note; if you choose not to set up the keywords, participants will not be able to opt-out, opt in or reset the survey.

Notification settings allow for the responses to be sent to your existing database through a callback URL, or to an email address. You have the option to receive results after the recipient has answered all the questions or after each question.

If you have selected to use an existing SMS flow, or you are choosing to create a new one, you are able to edit the flow before setting saving it as part of your survey.

You are presented with a preview of the settings selected in the survey creation. Once confirmed that all the settings are okay, you can create the survey.

Once you have created your survey, you can send it you your recipients either using a dedicated or a shared shortcode. Here you can upload your file of recipients or use your already saved contacts on the platform, or add the phone numbers manually.

After selecting the contacts, send out your survey to your recipients.
