Checkbox Survey's built in email invitation functionality allows users
to easily send customized email messages to potential respondents,
track response rates, and send reminders. In addition, Checkbox's piping
functionality gives users the option to create personalized email
messages, which has been shown to improve survey response rates.
Checkbox Survey supports a variety of advanced features to ensure
compatibility with email providers, including SMTP authentication, SSL
support, opt out processing, and text and HTML formatting.
In addition, customers who purchase the Checkbox Developer Kit can use
the API to send invitations from other applications, add or delete email
addresses from an invitation, create new invitations from scratch, and
check the status of invitations.
Simple to Send, Organize, and View
Sending email invitations is an easy and quick process. Simply select
the survey, select the format of the message (HTML or text), select the
recipients, enter the body of the email, and send. Respondent
information can be entered one at a time or imported from a file.
Invitations are organized into a folder hierarchy for viewing and
searching and the summary page features an invitation histogram that
displays a summary graph and table of responses.
High Volume Back End Supports Large Recipient Lists
Checkbox's high volume back end can support sending over 10,000 invitations at a time.
Track Responses and Send Reminders
Easily view response rates for each survey invitation and set up automatic
reminder emails to be sent to potential respondents who have not
responded to your survey invitation.
HTML or Text Format
Checkbox's Invitation Manager can send messages in HTML, which allows for more elegant formatting, or text format, which increases compatibility and delivery rates.
Use the WYSIWYG editor to view your invitations before sending or
preview invitations at the invitation group or individual recipient
level.
Pipe in User Info
To personalize your email invitations, Checkbox can pipe user
information such as first name or company name into the body of the email. Email marketing studies show
that this increases response rates.
Process Opt Outs
To comply with SPAM regulations, Checkbox allows invitation recipients
to opt-out of subsequent email invitations for a given survey.
Allow Survey Login
For surveys that are restricted to registered users,
Checkbox Survey gives users the option to "auto login," which allows users to bypass the login screen when taking the survey.
