When adding a multiple-choice question to a survey, it can be tedious to create each option and type in the different choices. Today we are introducing a new feature to make it easier to import many options at once. When creating a question, look for the "+ Bulk Import" link. When you click that link, a popup opens with a text box where you can type in or paste many options at once.
In this tutorial, we explain how to create a survey and publish it on a Facebook page you manage. The whole process only takes a few minutes. Take a look at the video above for the step-by-step tutorial.
First, it is important to understand the difference between a Facebook Page and a personal account. The Page represents a business, community or public figure that interacts with an audience of followers. A personal account is used by you, as an individual. It is your login to get into Facebook.
We just added a feature that was long overdue. You can now receive an email notification each time someone answers your survey. You were already receiving notifications through Facebook and now you will get both by default. You can configure how you wish to be notified (email, Facebook or both) from the Advanced Options of the Configuration section of your survey.
Today we have great news for our Enterprise subscribers. When you click the "+ New" button to create a new promotion, you will see a menu asking you to choose how you would like to interact with your audience. You can select one of the following: poll, contest or quiz. This gives you access to all our apps from a single account.
When you run a survey, all answers you collect are anonymous by default. If you need participants infos for your newsletter or because you need to contact a winner for a draw, then you must configure your survey before you launch it. Here are two different ways to set it up.
Today we updated the domain name used for sharing surveys to make it even shorter. The domain survey.fbapp.io has been effectively replaced by survey.app.do throughout the app. This shorter URL will be easier to type in a browser's address bar.
We recently added a feature to help fight fraudulent voting for popular surveys. You can now require participants to authorize the app before they submit the survey form. The app will store participants Facebook profile IDs and validate that each ID is unique. This effectively means that any given Facebook user will only be able to vote once.
When you install a Tab on your Facebook Page, it will be named "Survey" by default. It's sometimes useful to rename the tab to better reflect the purpose of your survey. You could for example rename it to "Contact Form" or "Mother's Day Contest". Fortunately, changing a tab's name can easily be done by following these steps:
