Using EveryAction for surveying

I’ve seen another question on here about a post-donation survey, but we’re hoping to do a relatively in-depth survey of our members. We plan to link it in a giving form or email. Ideally, we will use EveryAction to ask a series of questions, either linking relevant information to a contact record or producing some easy-to-understand report of who the folks in our community are. 

I’ve spent quite a bit of time exploring EveryAction to see what might work. I created this draft survey that includes the breadth of some of the questions we’d like to ask. I see that radio buttons (the last question on the survey) can be mapped to survey questions that are created separately in EveryAction, and therefore show up on a contact record. Some things can also be mapped to activist codes, which could be useful. But when it comes to multiple-choice questions, responses are captured in a Google Sheet, like this, which is hard to interpret. 

Has anyone successfully used EveryAction to survey their community? If so, how did you get it to work well? 

Thanks in advance!

Hi ​@heatherelizabeth29! The draft survey you created looks great and you’re right that radio buttons are helpful because they allow you to map to custom fields in the software. I’m curious to hear what other customers have done as well!
