Exporting Survey Results

Polling.com offers a handy feature that lets you conveniently download raw data from the system. You can export all the data you need from your surveys in either CSV or JSON format. After exporting, you can easily upload these files to other platforms to access the data. Additionally, you will find important fields, like External ID and Boolean to help you quickly see if a respondent completed the survey. You can also track responses from specific users using their ID as an identifier directly to the survey link. This makes it easy to connect survey answers to individual users, whether you’re sending personalized emails or linking responses to users who are logged in. You can do this without needing to use SDK integration.
