Embedded Survey

Survalyzer offers the possibility to integrate a survey into any webpage. The following section is a live example of an embedded survey.

To embed a survey into any webpage the following code is required:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://use.fontawesome.com/releases/v5.11.2/css/all.css" integrity="sha384-KA6wR/X5RY4zFAHpv/CnoG2UW1uogYfdnP67Uv7eULvTveboZJg0qUpmJZb5VqzN" crossorigin="anonymous">

Script location

Depending on the datacenter the scripts need to be loaded from different Urls:

Swiss:

<link href="https://survalyzer.survalyzer.swiss/assets/themes/default/rt-theme.min.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
<link href="https://survalyzer.survalyzer.swiss/assets/default/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
<script src="https://survalyzer.survalyzer.swiss/assets/survalyzer-survey.js"></script>

EU:

<link href="https://survalyzer.survalyzer.eu/assets/themes/default/rt-theme.min.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
<link href="https://survalyzer.survalyzer.eu/assets/default/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" >
<script src="https://survalyzer.survalyzer.eu/assets/survalyzer-survey.js"></script>

Survey Tag parameters

The following parameters could be specified as attributes on the survalyzer-survey tag:

  • tenant* (The subdomain of the admin URL needs to be provided)
  • surveyHash* (The first segment of the interview URL needs to be provided)
  • interviewHash (The second segment of the interview URL could be provided for personal links)
  • interviewId (The guid of the interview to load a specific interview)
  • language (The desired language of the survey could be provided)
  • urlVariables (URL parameters like urlVar01 – urlVar20 could be provided as attributes)
  • token (A JWT panel member could be provided to prevent a second login in authenticated environments like portals)
  • scrollToTop (if not set, by default ‘true’. Controls the auto-scroll behavior after clicking ‘Next’ or ‘Back’. On some occasions the scroll to top on page switch creates a weird experience, depending on the position the survey is embedded. If set to false, the survey does not automatically scroll on page switch)

* this is a mandatory attribute

Survey API

This API allows to interact with the survey container using JavaScript.

Embedding the Survey into a popup

In the right bottom corner the Popup with the question “Would you like to rate our website?” is shown.

To implement such a behavior the following 2 elements are needed:

<button onclick="javascript:showPopup()">Show Popup</button>
<div class="modal" id="popup" tabindex="-1">
  <div class="modal-dialog modal-dialog-centered modal-xl">
    <div class="modal-content">
      <div class="modal-header">
        <h5 class="modal-title">How do you rate this article?</h5>
        <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close">
          <span aria-hidden="true">&times;</span>
        </button>
      </div>
      <div id="modalContent" class="modal-body"></div>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>
function showPopup(){
   var dialog = $("#popup");
   $("#modalContent").html(`<survalyzer-survey surveyhash="djclovxsla" tenant="education" language="en"></survalyzer-survey>`);
   dialog.modal('show');
}

Optional Javascript Snippet

The following script is optional and used if the pop up should close 10 seconds after the respondent submits the survey answers.

setTimeout(function () {
  api.events.subscribe('completed', function () {
    setTimeout(function () {
      document.getElementById('wrapper').remove();
    }, 10 * 1000);
  });
}, 1000);
