  • Attempt Platform Type - This option provides the flexibility to choose how the bot interact with participants
    • Chat: In this mode, the questions and response are sent on Work Chat in a conversational flow and once a user responds to a question, the next question is sent. This is great choice for short surveys with limited options.
    • Web-view: In this mode, a web-view is displayed inside the Work Chat with multiple questions and options displayed together. This method also supports additional question types such as checkbox, scale, dropdown and star rating which are not feasible in the earlier option.

    • Recurring: This option allows you to send the survey to the participants at given intervals such as daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly.
