Validation inside the field
Phone, email, date and number are checked as they are typed. Your export never contains a phone spelled out in words or an email without an @, so nobody cleans the list by hand.
Create an online questionnaire
A questionnaire collects facts about a person: contacts, details, consent. What matters is not pretty scales but input validation, required fields and a clean export. All of it is on the free plan.
Data arrives clean, not however it lands
Required and optional fields
Any question can be marked required. The questionnaire will not submit while a critical field is empty, so no reply arrives without a way to reach the person.
Fields that appear on condition
The company block shows up only for someone who picked “company”. The graph editor draws that logic as a diagram instead of a rule list, which keeps a long questionnaire short for whoever fills it in.
Excel and CSV export
Every submission is a row and every field a column. Export to XLSX or CSV, and push new responses to Telegram, Google Sheets, your CRM or a webhook as they arrive.
A link or a widget on your site
Share the questionnaire as a public link or embed it with one script tag. The widget is around 35 KB and renders in Shadow DOM, so it does not fight your site styles the way a heavy iframe does.
Your data stays yours
A questionnaire almost always holds personal data. Export and migration are always available, so there is no vendor lock-in, and a self-hosted build is available when the data has to stay on your own infrastructure.
What teams usually collect
Client questionnaire
Contacts, segment, the job to be done and budget, so the first call is an informed one. Responses reach your CRM the moment they are sent.
Candidate questionnaire
Screening before the interview: experience, stack, salary expectations. Conditional fields hide the blocks that do not apply to this role.
Registration form
Sign-ups for an event, a course or a webinar. Required contacts, a consent checkbox and a confirmation screen after submission.
Feedback questionnaire
Rating a service or a person: scales and an open comment in one form. For recurring loyalty measurement there is a dedicated NPS format.
Intake form
Patient or client details, contraindications and consent, filled in by link or QR code before the visit so nobody retypes paper into a database.
Research questionnaire
A survey with branching by answer for product or market research. Scoring and a result screen are there if the questionnaire turns into a test.
How to create an online questionnaire
Build a questionnaire in Askyo, set up field validation and collect the answers in a table.
-
Create the questionnaire
Sign up without a card and start an empty questionnaire, or describe the task in plain words and let AI draft the fields for you.
-
Add the fields
Text, phone, email, date, choice, scale, file upload. Mark the ones that are required and switch on input validation.
-
Set the logic
In the graph editor decide which blocks are shown to whom, so nobody sees questions that were not meant for them.
-
Publish and collect
Share the link or embed the widget. Answers pile up in a table, export to Excel and flow into your CRM or Telegram.
What an online questionnaire actually does
An online questionnaire is a web form that collects facts about a person: contacts, details, consent. You build it once, share a link, a QR code or a snippet for your site, and every submission lands as a row in a table. Validation catches bad input at the moment it is typed, so nobody cleans the list later.
The real gain over paper is not speed. An online questionnaire behaves differently for different people: a company sees the billing block, an individual never does, and someone who answered “no” to the first question skips the ten follow-ups. In Askyo you draw that logic in the graph editor as arrows from an answer to the next question.
How to build a questionnaire people finish
- Write down the decision the answers will drive, such as “which leads get a call today”. Cut every question that does not change it.
- Split the fields into must-have and nice-to-have. Four to six required fields is usually enough.
- For long forms, ask for contact details first, so a person who drops out halfway still leaves a way to reach them.
- Start from scratch, from a template, or describe the task and let the AI assistant draft the fields.
- Switch on validation for phone, email and date, and add a consent checkbox linking to your own privacy policy.
- Fill it in yourself on a phone, then hand it to a colleague who has never seen it.
The free plan covers all of this without a card: up to 5 questionnaires and 150 responses in total.
Questionnaire types with example questions
Client intake
So the first call starts with the solution, not with basics. Ready to copy: the client questionnaire template and the B2B lead form.
- What are you trying to get done right now?
- When do you need a result? (under a month, 1-3 months, no rush)
- Which budget range are you working with?
Candidate screening
Filter before the interview. The candidate questionnaire template includes a portfolio link and a CV upload.
- How many years have you worked in this role?
- Which tools do you use every day?
- When could you start?
Employee questionnaires
Anonymous pulse checks and eNPS. See the employee survey page and the team pulse template.
Registration and intake forms
Event sign-ups with a seat limit live on the event registration page. Clinic and studio intake forms are close to the health questionnaire template. School and daycare forms for parents are on the parent survey page.
Which question types to use
| Question type | Use it when | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Single choice | There is exactly one answer | Preferred work format? |
| Multiple choice | Several answers apply | Which channels do you use? |
| Dropdown | More than seven options | Country, industry, role |
| Phone and email | You need a way to reply | Format-checked number |
| Matrix | One scale for several items | Rate five parts of the service |
| Long text | You need words, not numbers | What should we improve? |
The builder has 43 question types in total. Each one is explained with an example in the question type reference.
What happens to the answers
Submissions collect in the inbox, one card per person with a timestamp, and export to CSV for Excel or Google Sheets. From the Pro plan new answers can go to a webhook, so a sales chat or CRM hears about a lead the moment it arrives. If the form lives on your site, the website widget keeps visitors on the page instead of sending them to a separate link.
Questionnaire questions
What is the difference between a questionnaire and a survey?
Technically nothing: both are a set of questions and a form to answer them. In practice a questionnaire usually collects facts about a specific person (contacts, details, consent) while a survey collects opinions from a group. In the builder it is the same tool; the difference is which fields you add and whether you switch validation on.
Can I build a questionnaire for free?
Yes. The free plan covers up to 5 questionnaires and 150 responses in total, every field type except media, validation, conditional logic and the website widget. No card needed, and the plan does not expire.
How do I export answers to Excel?
Answers live in a table inside the service and export to XLSX or CSV in one click: one submission per row, one field per column. You can also stream responses to Google Sheets, your CRM, Telegram or your own webhook as they come in.
Is it safe to collect personal data?
Responses are stored on our servers, export and migration are always available, and a consent checkbox linking to your own privacy policy can be a required field in the questionnaire. If your organisation needs the data to stay on infrastructure you control, the self-hosted build covers that.
Can I embed the questionnaire in my site?
Yes, with a single script tag. The widget is about 35 KB and renders in Shadow DOM, so it does not clash with your styles. It works on WordPress, Webflow, Shopify, Framer and anywhere else you can paste code.
How do I stop people skipping an important field?
Mark the question required: the questionnaire will not submit while it is empty and the hint appears right next to the field. Phone, email and date are also format-checked, so a malformed answer never reaches your export.
Build your first questionnaire in 5 minutes
Validation, conditional logic and Excel export are all on the free plan. No card required.
