Pop-up Survey

Post a survey on your website as a pop-up by inserting the code into your website's code. Javascript and pop-up embeds have been folded into pop-up surveys with the introduction of this feature. The pop-up survey also supports recording data from a URL parameter, a cookie, or a script variable with the help of custom variables. Also, single click submit has been added for radio button questions in the pop-up survey.

Sample Script 

       
       
       
                     <script>(function(w,d,s,u,f,m,n,o){o='
                     
                        https://survey.zohopublic.com
                     
                     '

       
       
       

       
       
       

                                   ;w[f]=w[f]||function()(w[f}.p=w{f}.p||

       
       
       

       
       
       

                     []).push(arguments);};m=d.createElement(s),n=d.getElementsByTagName(s)

       
       
       

       
       
       

                        [0];m.async=1;m.src=o+u;n.parentNode.insertBefore(m,n);zs_intercept(o,'LKzzH
                        

       
       
       

       
       
       
                        m',{});})(window, document, 'script', '/api/v1/public/livesurveys/LKzzHm/popup/
                        

       
       
       

       
       
       
                        script', 'zs_intercept');</script>


As Embed 

To embed your survey on a website:  

  1. Go to the  Launch tab.  
  2. Click  Website Insert and select  As Embed.   
       
  3. Select the embed option you'd like to use, then follow the corresponding instructions:  
    1. Click the code in the corresponding box to copy the code to the clipboard.  
    2. Paste the code onto your website.  

                                    

To redirect a survey end page to the top window instead of the iFrame window: 

When a survey is embedded on a website in an iFrame, you can view the survey end page in the following ways: 
  1. A Thank You page that opens within the iFrame. Or, 
  1. A Thank You page that expands onto the whole window, (or the top window). You can get this done by appending  "?target=top" at end of the survey URL in the embedded iFrame code. 

To get notified once a survey is submitted 

To get notifications for survey submissions on the website, add the following event listener code to the parent website. You will be notified on your end once the survey is submitted.
window.addEventListener('message', (message) => {
    if (message.data && message.data['zohosurvey_respondentStatus'] === 'completed') {
      // survey is finished
    }
})

To fix the iFrame window and avoid scrolling:

To avoid iFrame scrolling, you will need to adjust the height and width of your survey based on your current page. For this, we will pass the actual survey height and width for you to resize it. It will be in the following format:
   
   
   
                     data = { zohosurvey: {

   
   
   
			height : surveyHeight,
	                    	width : surveyWidth,
	                    	action : "surveySize" 
			}}
As you receive the message on your web page, you will need to customize the height and width of the iFrame so that it fits well in the window. Once it fits the iFrame, certain functionalities wouldn't work as expected and you will need to handle scroll positions in a similar manner. We will send a script in the following format for you to customize:
 
 
 
                     data = { zohosurvey: {

 
 
 
action : "moveScroll" ,
				position : position}}

Sample Code

You can use this sample code to customize the size of your iFrame:

  
  
  
                     <iframe src="<survey link>" frameborder='0' 

  
  
  

  
  
  

   style='height:700px;width:100%;' marginwidth='0' marginheight='0' scrolling='auto' 

  
  
  

  
  
  

   allow='geolocation' id='iframe-id'></iframe>

  
  
  

<script>
var iframe = document.querySelector("#iframe-id"); // change the id based on iframe's id
  function setIframeSize(data){
    if(data.zohosurvey ){
	if(data.zohosurvey.action == "surveySize"){
 iframe.style.height = data.zohosurvey.height + 'px';
      		 iframe.style.width = data.zohosurvey.width + 'px'
 }else if(data.zohosurvey.action == "moveScroll"){
window.scrollTo(500, iframe.offsetTop + data.zohosurvey.position);} } }
  window.addEventListener('message', function(e) {
        setIframeSize(e.data);
 } ,  false); 
</script>
