WhatsApp Survey Distribution

Updated 

Introduction

​In this release, WhatsApp Surveys enable seamless feedback collection by integrating surveys directly into the messaging experience. While Standard Survey sends a link through WhatsApp, Conversational Survey leverages AI to deliver questions as WhatsApp messages, creating a more interactive and human-like exchange. This approach enhances engagement and simplifies the feedback process without the need to redirect you to external platforms.
