When launching an online survey, you normally want it to be filled out by as many people as possible. But sometimes, if you limit the number of submissions allowed for your online survey, you give it a more professional touch. You need to establish from the very beginning how many times the online survey needs to be filled out in order to have a realistical image of the general opinion on the surveyed topic. This number can and should be shared with survey users from the beginning.
But how to limit technically the number of submissions allowed by an online survey? Well, with a professional online survey tool, you can do that with a couple of clicks. Basically, you will need to tick a checkbox in order to enable the limitation of the submission number and then to specify the number that represents the limit. You can specify any limit you need, from tenths to hundreds or thousands.
A way to enhance your online survey further is to use custom email templates. The notification message that you receive – and/or the message received by the multiple and/or custom recipients you’ve set up -, as well as the autoresponder message sent to survey users are highly customizable.
The default notification email template contains the entire survey submission. You can customize the notification email to contain only a part of the submission content, to contain a custom text with input from the user or to show only an alert message, telling you that a new survey submission has been made and that you should check the Submissions section in your account on the online survey builder you’ve used for setting up the online survey.
If you want to thank survey users through a confirmation message for filling out the survey, you can use custom autoresponders. The autoresponder message can contain a text message or also user input from the survey submission. For both notification emails and confirmation messages, you can use full HTML/CSS customization.
