Survey ending

Introduction

Survey endings determine the last screen respondents see and assign their final status. Respondents aren't marked as complete, disqualified, or over quota until they reach an ending. When you add your first question, an ending is added to your survey automatically.

Endings always appear below your questions in the survey editor, since they mark the end of a path through the survey.

Settings

Respondent status

Assign a status when respondents reach an ending: complete, disqualified, or over quota. Use skip logic or quota elements to direct respondents to the appropriate ending. Multiple endings can be configured with different statuses.

No redirect

The default. Respondents see your custom message and can close the browser. No further action is taken.

Instant redirect

Respondents are immediately sent to a specified URL. Commonly used to pass respondents to a panel provider or another survey platform.

On button click

Similar to instant redirect, but displays a message first. Respondents are sent to the URL only after clicking a button, useful when you need to explain the next step before redirecting.

Redirecting to a panel provider

Paste the destination URL into the redirect URL field and replace any placeholder values with dynamic variable data using {{ getValue("variableName") }} syntax. Use the Insert variable button below the field to insert variables with the correct syntax automatically.
