Online multiple choice survey with customized email feedback/report

October 15, 2013 7:38 AM

I need to build a web-embedded, multiple choice survey that sends an email with text customized based on each respondent's answers. Some (limited) coding experience.

I am working with a client that needs an online customer assessment. Likely 8 to 12 multiple choice questions. The end result needs to be a customized email to the respondent with text/copy based on his or her answers. For example, the email would likely look like:

- Standard introductory paragraph.

- First custom paragraph based on the answer to question #1 (one of five possible versions)

- Second custom paragraph based on the answer to question #2 (one of five possible versions)

- Etc. through the final question

- Standard closing paragraph

I have searched on the web and AskMeFi but every resource I'm finding seems to focus on summarizing survey results, not customized response content.

The client is currently using a Wordpress site, if that helps. I have some coding knowledge and can usually slog through simple coding tasks. A third-party or app solution would be ideal, if one exists.

Huge thanks!

Best answer: We've used Wufoo to do some branching logic in a few forms. Nothing terribly extensive, but it might work for you:

For example, we have an intake form that sends one of two emails depending on how the client answers a few of the questions. I didn't set it up myself, just know that it's possible to do with their system. They also integrate nicely with wordpress.

I'm not sure if it automatically emails participants, but you might look at Google Forms.

Response by poster: Wufoo has turned out to be exactly what we needed for the short term. Excellent suggestion, beep-bop-robot!
