WhatsApp Surveys: How to Create & Share a Survey on WhatsApp
Follow these easy steps to create and send out an interactive WhatsApp survey that people will enjoy answering.
1. Create a survey
Start by creating a WhatsApp survey. Add in your questions, some fun images or videos. Don’t forget a lead form if you want to collect contact information and follow-up with survey participants.
2. Connect your survey to WhatsApp via Zapier (optional)
Before you share your survey, you can connect it with Zapier to automatically send WhatsApp messages when someone submits a response. It’s a great way to keep the conversation going and turn responses into meaningful next steps.
Use it to:
- Thank respondents immediately with a confirmation
- Share personalized messages, content, or offers based on their answers
- Qualify leads and guide them toward your next funnel step

3. Share the survey on WhatsApp
Click the Share button at the top of your screen and open the Share Link tab.
This is where you’ll find two options: you can either click the WhatsApp icon to share directly from your desktop, or copy the link to send it from your phone.
If you choose the WhatsApp icon on desktop, a pop-up will appear that will ask you to open the WhatsApp application installed on your computer. Click Continue to Chat, choose your contacts or groups, and then click Forward.
Prefer to send it from your phone? Just copy the link and paste it into any WhatsApp chat using the WhatsApp mobile app.
After you’ve sent your survey, it will be delivered just like a regular WhatsApp message. Respondents can tap the link and take the survey from there.
4. Monitor survey performance
The next step is to keep track of the responses. To do this, go to your analytics dashboard by clicking Results next to your survey. Here, you can view survey responses in real time, giving you instant insight into how people are interacting with your survey.
You can use the results to:
- Spot trends or common answers
- Identify high-intent leads or interested users
- Adjust your products or services based on the feedback you receive
For deeper analysis, you can export the results by clicking Export at the top right-hand of your screen.
And now you’re done!
Get More Responses with These WhatsApp Survey Tips
A few small tweaks can turn a boring survey into something people actually want to complete. Here’s what to keep in mind before you hit send.
1. Keep It Short
Long surveys feel overwhelming on mobile, especially in a fast-moving app like WhatsApp. A shorter format keeps people engaged from start to finish and can make a big difference in your response rates.
✅ Do This: Limit your WhatsApp survey to 5–7 questions maximum
❌ Don’t Do This: Create lengthy surveys with more than 10 questions
2. Choose Tap-Friendly Questions
The easier it is to tap through your WhatsApp questionnaire, the more likely people are to complete it, especially on small screens.
✅ Do This: Use multiple choice, rating scales, and image questions
❌ Don’t Do This: Rely on long text fields or open-ended questions that take time to type
3. Keep it Natural
WhatsApp is a personal space, so your quiz should sound like part of the conversation, not a formal questionnaire.
✅ Do This: Use casual, conversational language that sounds like a real message
❌ Don’t Do This: Use overly formal or robotic language
4. Use Emojis (Sparingly)
A well-placed emoji can help your survey stand out in the chat preview and feel more natural in the WhatsApp environment.
✅ Do This: Add one relevant emoji to your survey title to make the message pop and feel friendly
❌ Don’t Do This: Fill your message with random or excessive emojis – they’ll hurt readability and look unprofessional

FAQ
Can I create a survey on WhatsApp?
You can’t create a survey on WhatsApp since the app only allows you to create polls, which are limited to one question. To create an in-depth WhatsApp survey with multiple questions, you’ll need to use a tool like Opinion Stage. This platform lets you create customized surveys from scratch, with a WhatsApp survey template, or using the AI survey maker. You can then share it with your contacts by copying and pasting the survey link into your WhatsApp chat.
