BETA Testing: The Emoji Question
for Surveys and Forms
Emojis are fun, help convey feelings, and many of us use them often in our day to day communication. So why wouldn't we bring them into online engagement?
The 'Emoji Question' in our Surveys and Forms tool will allow you to ask for feedback using a scale of three or five emojis - ranging from very unhappy to very happy. The 'Emoji Question' is a standalone question that will appear at the bottom of the Question Types for selection in the survey builder.
This feature is currently in the BETA phase, if you are interested in testing it out, speak to our support team to get this feature enabled for your site.
