Survey responses destinations
Contents
You can send survey responses to Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, or a custom webhook. The easiest way is to add a notification directly from the survey page. For more advanced use cases, you can also use data pipeline destinations.
Add a notification from the survey page
To add a notification directly from your survey:
- Open your survey and go to the Notifications tab.
- Click Add notification.
- Choose a destination: Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, or Webhook.
- Configure the destination (e.g., select a Slack channel or enter a webhook URL).
- Customize the message template. Use the quick insert buttons to add the survey name, respondent details, or individual question responses.
- Click Add notification.
Notifications created this way are automatically scoped to the current survey and filter for completed submissions by default. If your survey has partial responses enabled, you can toggle Only notify for full responses off to receive notifications for partial submissions too.
For Slack notifications, you can also include buttons to view the survey and the respondent's person profile.
After creating a notification, you can open it from the notifications list to use the full Hog function editor for deeper customization.
Use data pipeline destinations
For more advanced use cases like Zapier zaps, you can set up destinations through the data pipeline:
Go to the data pipeline destinations tab.
Search for the destination you want and click + Create (or click Create on HTTP Webhook for custom destinations).
Follow the steps to integrate with the destination.
Under Match event and actions, select survey sent.
