Designing Your Email

In the center, you will see what your email looks like as you change the customizable options. As you customize these fields, you will notice your email’s design change before your eyes. Here is a description of the options you can customize.
On the left-hand side, you can set the “Brand/Product Name”, “Brand/Product Color”, and also the “Header” which can show your brand name or logo. Set your “Reply to” email and “From” name, and notice it will change at the top of your email. You can also set the email subject line in the “Subject” field and compose an “Intro message” to add some text to the body of the email.
The final two options on the left side allow you to set some survey automation. In order to stay on top of what your customer needs, you have the opportunity to send a “Recurring Email”. You can send “Recurring Emails” to customers if you want to email them once a quarter or once a year automatically to ask them their opinion.
In order to ensure your customers respond to your survey, you have the opportunity to send “Automatic Reminders” to customers that have not yet completed your survey. A reminder email can be set as early as 7 days, or as late as 21 days after sending.
Preview Your Email
Before sending out your survey through email, you can preview what it will look like to your customers. Quickly and easily see what your email will look like in desktop and mobile view. By default, your email will be shown in “Desktop” view. Above your designed email, you can switch between “Desktop” and “Mobile” view by selecting the associated tab.
Test Your Email
Once your email looks and sounds the way you want it to, you will want to see how it performs when you send it to your customers. You can do this by sending a test email. In the design section, you will find where to send a test email directly below your designed email. In the short text box, fill in the email address that you want to send a test to and click “Send”.
