Surveys
Surveys let you collect feedback from participants after a gathering. They use the same form system as registration and carpool forms, but with a SURVEY type.
Creating a survey
- Open the gathering's Overview tab
- Click the Survey quick action button
- This creates a new SURVEY type form linked to the gathering
- Build your survey fields using the schema editor
- Set a URL slug so you can share the link with participants
- Set open and close dates to control when the survey is available
- Click Save
Common survey questions
Post-gathering surveys typically cover:
- Overall experience and satisfaction
- What worked well and what could be improved
- Feedback on specific aspects (food, accommodation, workshops, rituals)
- Suggestions for future gatherings
- Whether the participant would come again
Viewing responses
Survey responses appear in the Survey tab (or via the Forms tab). You can:
- View individual responses
- Export all responses as CSV, JSON, or markdown for analysis
- Filter by submission date
Tips
- Keep surveys reasonably short; participants are more likely to complete them if they don't take too long
- Send the survey link within a week of the gathering ending, while memories are fresh
- Share a summary of the feedback with the community; it shows that organisers value input and helps build trust
- Anonymous submissions are supported if you want participants to feel comfortable giving honest feedback
- You can set a maximum number of submissions if needed, though for surveys this is rarely necessary
