Overview

Smart Survey is a portal that automates the process of creating surveys and quizzes for your attendees at your event sessions.

It allows you to effortlessly import sessions from your event and generate a survey & a quiz for each session with a few clicks, no matter how many sessions you have at your event.

Creating a Template for Your Smart Survey

Smart Surveys use the same templates as Capture Forms. The difference is that when you are creating a template for a Smart Survey, you may use the special fields, Speaker Section and Session Section.

Creating a Template

To create a template, Navigate to Events > Capture, then navigate to the Templates Tab.

Click New and fill the template’s information.

Speaker Sections and Session Sections

Session Sections and Speaker Sections are only intended to be used for Surveys and not Quizes.

Like the traditional Section field, Session and Speaker Sections can have questions inside them

When the surveys are opened by attendees, they will show the speaker(s) names inside the Speaker Section.

The Speaker Section will also multiply itself to match the number of speakers, so attendees can rate each speaker individually. See Final Result below for how Surveys appear to attendees.

Building a Smart Survey

From Captello’s home screen, navigate to Events > Smart Surveys.

Click on New.

Fill the Smart Survey’s Name, Platform and Event.

General Tab

You will be greeted with the General tab. It has the Smart Survey’s basic information.

Sessions Tab

From the sessions tab, you can add sessions groups, then choose templates for surveys and quizzes for each group.

To add an additional group, click on the plus sign.

Adding session groups is useful when you have multiple attendee groups that attend different sessions, for example, you could create a session group for VIP sessions that are attended by VIP attendees.

Adding Sessions

There are 2 ways to add sessions.

Add: by clicking Add, you will be prompted to select the sessions that you desire.

Add All Sessions: Adds all the sessions from the event.

If the toggle Automatically add new sessions to this group is turned on, new sessions synced to Captello will automatically be added to this session group.

Bizzabo & Swoogo Sessions can take up to 30 minutes, while Swapcard sessions are synced instantly.

Once sessions are added, click on Publish to complete building your Smart Survey.

Generating Surveys and Quizzes

To generate Surveys and Quizzes while publishing, switch on the Generate sessions assets toggle.

After publishing, you can also generate them from the drop-down arrows of sessions, or from the generate all button.

Surveys and Quizzes Tabs

The surveys and quizzes tabs will contain the links to edit and submit your surveys and quizzes.

The Prospects column shows the number of prospects registered in the session, while the Speakers column shows the number of the session’s speakers.

Clicking the graph icon will redirect you to the survey’s (or the quiz’s) questions stats page, which shows statistics of all the answers.

Now, you are ready to embed your quizzes and surveys to your event!

Copy the Web View links of your Quizzes and Surveys and embed them into your event.

You can embed the link to your event’s sessions, or you can share the links with attendees after sessions.

Awarding Certificates to Session Attendees

Captello allows you to send certificates to attendees upon completing sessions, either by using a Captello email campaign or Accredible (3rd Party). Both ways are detailed below.

Using a Captello Email Campaign

Sending certificates using an email campaign requires creating an email with session merge fields. Captello has a built-in template that has all the needed merge fields.

Creating an Email with Session Merge Fields

To create the email with session merge fields, follow the steps below:

Navigate to 'Content > Emails'

On the top right of the screen, click ‘New'

Enter the email campaign details.

Start with a template for a drag and drop experience.

Choose a layout. In our example, we are using a simple 1 column layout.

Select the email body by clicking on it.

On the right side, customize your message and click on ‘Fields’

From ‘Category’ select ‘Event Session Confirmed Attendee’ and click ‘Insert’.

The session certificate merge fields will be added. Including two sections, registrant info and attendee info (encircled in blue) which are pulled from the event registration platform you are using, and should be changed in accordance with event fields, if they are to be used.

After making your final touches, click ‘Exit’ then ‘Save and Exit’
