The Contact Form Question type is perfect for allowing anyone to fill in a form that is already in your survey and therefore reduces the unnecessary friction that results from redirecting them to another site. This allows you to put any column or field necessary for your project. It is a concise  and clear way of collecting important contact information all in one question.

Let’s say you need to collect a large amount of demographic information from your respondents that will also automatically fill in this contact information for this particular participant in your database. You might be a nurse coordinator seeking to collect contact information of patients as they come into the examination room or you might be running a project collecting feedback from patients on their care and you would like to retain their information to potentially reach out to them.

Setup 

Let’s take it step by step !

• While you’re editing your survey, select “Add question” and then select “Contact Form”.

‍

• This will bring forth the question and you can edit it however you want. You can add and format text and add in subtext below.

‍

‍

• Then you should be able to see the Form Fields (Answer Choices). You can change the order of the fields, but you cannot change the content. You are able to hide unwanted fields by clicking the eye icon. You may note the validation column in these Form Fields, this only applies to some such as Postal Code and Phone number (the validation is only applicable in North America) and Email.
