I’m trying to understand when exactly to use an Embedded Data field. Can someone explain with a simple example?

Hi ​@Gunjan_Malhotra 

Embedded Data is any additional information that you want to include in your survey without asking the respondent directly.

Example: You upload a contact file with the below data:
 


Here all these fields act as Embedded Data fields and will be tied with the contact in the survey.
 

When Amit opens the survey:

  • Embedded Data stored:

    • Name = Amit

    • City = Delhi

    • CustomerType = Gold
       

  • Based on this embedded data fields, you can personalise your survey for different groups.

Logic: 1. If CustomerType = Gold → Show Premium Service Questions
            2. If CustomerType = Silver → Show Basic Service Questions

Post Response Submission, now on the Dashboard:
✅ You can filter reports by CustomerType
✅ Compare Delhi vs Mumbai feedback
✅ Build dashboards without asking these questions in the survey
