Adding the different fields to the survey with questions and answers that your users can fill in from the online calendar before booking, providing information or explanations during the survey and setting up the flow between the different survey options, is done in a very simple and visual way in TuCalendi.

We have developed a visual editor that lets you build the survey and set up the flow between the different steps.

Log in to your TuCalendi account. Go to the "Survey Templates" option:

Survey templates

To create a new survey, click "New".

There are two types of surveys available:

  • Standard. This is a new survey that can be assigned to each event type.
  • Standalone. This is a new survey that can be used as a standalone widget and with routing to different event types.

Survey types

Select the "Standard" type.

If you have already created a survey, you can open it and edit it to add or remove options.

Click the "Elements" button:

Create a new survey add elements

In the menu, select the "Text field" option:

Elements menu

To create the text field, enter the "Label" (the name of the field or question that will be visible), the "Description" and the "Type" of text field you are going to add. When you are done, click "Add":

Add text field element in the survey

When you have added the options and completed the flow by joining the boxes, click "Save".

To join the boxes, click the point to the right of the initial box, keep the mouse button pressed and draw the line to the point to the left of the box you want to join.

Creating survey flow

In the pop-up window that appears, enter an alias to name the survey template you have created.

Add survey alias

When you click "Save", the survey template is created and appears in your list of survey templates.

Survey templates list

To make the survey visible, you must choose the event you want to associate the template with. This way your users and customers can answer the survey you have created.
