If you want to delete a question, click on the specific question/field on the survey and click the cross in the top right corner of the highlighted box.

Background and Header Images

If you are using the form as a stand alone page (and not adding to a funnel or website), you may like to add a background image or a header image.

The image can only be seen on the live survey (not the survey builder screen). To view the image, click on the Preview option.

Additional Survey Options

Meta Pixel

Sticky Contact

Sticky Contact allows you to save cookie/s from a lead and will autofill information across multiple forms/surveys that they had previously entered so leads don't have to enter it twice if there are multiple steps. This is especially useful, for example, if you have an initial opt-in leading to a calendar/appointment page or an Order Form.

Go to Options > Sticky Contact. and toggle the option on or off.

IMPORTANT! Sticky contact should not be used if more than one contact is completing a survey from the same device. If a second person accesses a sticky contact survey from the same device, the previous contact's information will populate and the system will add the new information to the wrong contact.
