Import & Export

Your data, moving freely

Bring a survey in, take one out, and invite your contact list without retyping it - all built on plain, inspectable file formats.

JSON survey export

Take a full survey definition out, any time

Export any survey you own as a single JSON file - title, description, thank-you message, and every question with its type, options, and required flag. Open it in a text editor, back it up, or hand it to a teammate.

  • One click from the survey edit page - no plan restriction
  • Includes every question type your survey uses
  • The file format is documented so you can generate one by hand if you want to

{ "title": "Customer Feedback Q3",
  "questions": [
    { "type": "nps", ... },
    { "type": "long_text", ... }
  ]
}
JSON survey import

Bring a survey back in as a new draft

Upload a previously exported JSON file (or one built to match the same shape) to create a brand-new draft survey from it. Malformed or unrecognized files are rejected with a clear message instead of silently creating an empty survey.

  • Works across accounts - export from one, import into another
  • Respects your plan's question-count and file-upload-question limits, trimming rather than failing outright
  • The new survey always lands as a draft - nothing publishes automatically

CSV contact import

Invite your list without typing every address

Upload almost any CSV export of your contacts - with or without a header row, with a name column or without one - and every valid email address in the file gets picked up automatically, deduplicated against addresses you've already invited.

  • No fixed column layout required - every cell in every row is checked for a valid address
  • Combine a pasted list and an uploaded CSV in the same batch
  • Capped at 100 recipients per send, same as manual invitations

Response export

Take your results anywhere

Export a survey's collected responses as CSV, Excel, or PDF straight from the responses dashboard. Larger exports run as a background job you can poll for completion instead of tying up your browser tab.

  • CSV on every plan; Excel and PDF on plans with the export capability
  • Async export jobs for large response sets, via the API
  • Every export reflects live data at the moment you request it

Migration mapping rules

Save the mapping once, reuse it every time

Recurring imports - a monthly registrar file, a repeated panel refresh - don't need to be re-mapped from scratch. Save a reusable mapping between your source columns and survey fields, then apply it consistently to every new file that matches the same shape.

  • Reusable column-to-field mappings for recurring source files
  • Consistent transformations applied automatically on each run
  • Review and adjust a saved mapping before it's applied

{ "title": "Customer Feedback Q3",
  "questions": [
    { "type": "nps", ... },
    { "type": "long_text", ... }

}
Historical responses

Bring your response history with you

Migrate completed and partial responses from another tool along with their original timestamps, collector source, respondent identifiers, and variable values, so historical trend data doesn't reset the day you switch platforms.

  • Timestamps, collector source, and identifiers carry over intact
  • Partial and completed responses are both supported
  • Migrated data is clearly labeled as historical for audit purposes

Documents to survey drafts

Turn an existing document into a reviewable draft

Extract a structured survey outline from a DOCX or PDF questionnaire you already have - questions, answer options, and page breaks come across as an editable draft you review and publish yourself, not an automatic live survey.

  • Works from DOCX and PDF source questionnaires
  • Produces an editable draft, never an auto-published survey
  • Pairs with AI Survey Studio for wording and logic suggestions

Audit and data controls

Know who moved what, and when

Every import and export is scoped by role, and larger or sensitive migrations are logged with who ran them, what was included, and when - so a data movement is never invisible to the workspace owner.

  • Migration actions restricted by workspace role
  • Sensitive fields are flagged for review before an import completes
  • Operations are logged with source references you can audit later

Export and delivery

Use your data beyond the survey platform

Export raw responses, coded datasets, charts, executive reports, images, codebooks, and API-ready data - then route it wherever the rest of your work happens.

Analysis data

CSV, XLSX, TSV, and JSON datasets with codebooks, variable labels, and missing-value codes for further statistical work.

Reports and visuals

PDF and PNG reports, shareable dashboards, scheduled email reports, and print-ready views.

Connected destinations

Google Sheets, Excel, S3, storage, BI tools, and webhooks - see the integration catalog for the full list.

Scheduled delivery

Deliver incremental or complete exports on a schedule, filtered by collector, project, or reporting period.

Also available via API

Automate it entirely

Everything here also has a REST equivalent for creators on API-access plans - create and publish surveys programmatically, pull responses, and queue an async CSV or Excel export you can poll for completion. See the developer docs for the full reference.

Every plan starts free - no card required.
