User Surveys

In-app user surveys that ask at the moment it happens

Trigger a survey when someone rage-clicks, finishes a task or hits an event you define, and read the answer next to the session, the user and everything they've told you before.

Ask the right people, at the right moment

Email surveys arrive days later and get answered by whoever still remembers. In-app surveys reach people while they’re using the product: on the page, after the action, in context.

Behavioural triggers

Ask when something just happened

Show a survey after a set time, when someone clicks a specific element, on a rage click, or on a custom event your app sends. Developers can open any survey from code with the JavaScript SDK.

  • Example: a user rage-clicks on the export button, and a one-question survey asks what they were trying to do.
  • Show it once, or pause after a response and ask again after a set number of days.

Targeting

Ask only the people it's meant for

Connect your user data and target segments such as customers on a paid plan, users in their first month or internal testers. Narrow it further by page and by device: desktop, tablet or phone.

  • Start from templates for NPS, CSAT and CES, or build your own.
  • 11 question types: short and long answer, yes or no, multiple choice, dropdown, thumbs, faces, stars, hearts, number scale and Net Promoter Score® (0–10), plus a welcome and a thank-you screen.

Context attached

See each answer with the whole story

Every response lands in Userback with the user’s session details. Open the respondent and you see their NPS next to their bug reports, feature requests and past survey answers, so a low score comes with the reason behind it.

What are user surveys in Userback?

User surveys in Userback are short in-app surveys (NPS, CSAT, CES or your own questions) that appear inside your product, on your website or through a shareable link. They're triggered by what users do and targeted by who they are, and every answer is stored with that user's other feedback.

Target:

Product Managers, Customer Success Teams, UX Researchers

Category:

In-app survey software

What It Does

Builds NPS, CSAT, CES and custom surveys from templates or from scratch. Shows them in-app, on a website or through a link, triggered by time, element clicks, rage clicks, custom events or code, and targeted by user segment, page and device. Collects responses next to each user's feedback history, with NPS reporting and CSV export.

Key Benefit

Answers arrive while the experience is fresh and with the context to act on them: who answered, where they were, and what else they've reported.

Best For

  • Running an ongoing NPS programme inside a SaaS product
  • Asking about a feature right after someone uses it for the first time
  • Catching frustration where it happens, with a survey on rage clicks
  • Measuring effort after onboarding or a support interaction (CES)
  • Asking only one segment, such as paid customers or new sign-ups

Userback has reduced the need for confusing back and forth conversations with clients trying to reproduce situations, so developers can fix issues faster.
