In this exemple we chose to ask a simple question with multiple choice to strat the survey. First we decide to ask the user if he is ready to start the survey. At the moment, it is not possible to reschedule the survey. But your users can wait and answer it later.

With this new feature the chatbot is talking to the user and not the reverse. Please make sure to ponctuate the conversation to make it feel more dynamical to your users and increase the conversational experience.
⚠️
To save every user answers into the survey you have to insert a variable. This step is essential to save the data and interprate the results later.
You may need your users to answer completely free way to your chatbot. To ask a free way question you can use "ask a question to the user" and add a variable to save the results.
