      Collecting Feedback with Surveys

      Collecting valuable feedback from your attendees helps you make better decisions. Attendees can tell you about the best speakers, most exciting topics, and logistical setbacks. Use their insights to maximize your next event. You can use Sched or a platform like Google Forms, Wufoo or Typeform to collect feedback.


      Sched’s Built-in Feedback Form

      Sched offers two types of feedback forms: Session Feedback for individual sessions and Event Feedback for the whole event. Access them in your Event Dashboard → Feedback Forms to edit details or questions, add custom questions (available on the Ultra Plan), and manage settings. Session Feedback can also be turned on or off for specific sessions.

      Note: The ability to add custom questions is only available on our Ultra Plan. Please contact our sales team to learn more.

      Adding a Custom Feedback Survey using Google Forms

      Create a custom survey using Google Forms to gather feedback and ratings from your attendees. Google Forms are free and easy to set up with any Google account.

      Integrate Google Forms with Sched and automatically pre-fill the session title in each survey. This will save you from having to build different surveys for each session.

      Please note that when using a custom feedback survey, you cannot export the response data in Sched. The survey data will be exported through Google.2025 08 15 03 37 15
