Pro plan. Hosted forms, surveys and quizzes are part of Pro and Agency (and the free trial). Forms you already have keep working on every plan. See Plans and billing.
A Kerux form can be a survey (questions with answers to pick) or a quiz (each answer gives points, and the total is saved). Each answer goes to a field of the contact, so the campaign can choose what to do next and your messages can use it.

Question types

A form can have up to 20 questions, and each choice question 2 to 20 options (Yes / No: exactly two). Kerux checks every answer when the form is sent: only your own options and numbers on the scale are accepted.

Add questions to a form

1

Open the form

Go to Integrations > Developers > Trigger URLs and click Edit the form (or Add a hosted form) on the campaign’s trigger URL (owners and admins). See Trigger URLs and forms.
2

Add a question

Under Survey and quiz questions, click Add a question. Type the question, pick the Answer type and write the options. Tick Required if it must be answered.
3

See where the answer goes

Under each question you see where its answer is saved, e.g. {{contact.custom.team}}. A new question creates that custom field the first time you save.
4

Save

Click Save form. The public page shows the questions right away.
A form with a single choice question with points, a rating question and the quiz settings Tick One question per page in Form settings to show one question at a time with Next and Back and a progress bar. It works well on phones.

Make it a quiz

1

Turn it on

In Form settings, tick This is a quiz: answers carry points.
2

Give points

Each option now has a points box (it can be negative). For a rating, tick The number picked counts as points.
3

Pick the score field

The total is saved in Score field (quiz_score by default, so {{contact.custom.quiz_score}}). Show the person their score after sending is ticked at first: the thank-you page shows “Your score: 7 / 10”. Untick it to keep the score to yourself.
The points stay in Kerux: the public page never shows how many points an answer is worth.

Follow up based on the answers

  • Branch on the score: add a Condition step with A contact field… on the score field (custom.quiz_score), e.g. is at least 8 for your hottest contacts.
  • Use answers in messages: write {{contact.custom.quiz_score}} or {{contact.custom.team}}. A message is never sent with an empty answer: the contact waits in Needs attention instead (see Personalize your messages).

People already in your database

Someone who is already a contact joins the campaign, but the form never changes their details. Only their empty answer fields and an empty score are filled in: an answer or a score saved before stays as it is.

Forms inside a campaign

A Wait for webhook step can also collect answers with a Kerux form, with the same question types, one question per page and quizzes. Each contact gets their own link ({{forms.<step>}}). The answers and the score arrive with the step, e.g. {{steps.<step>.payload.score}}.

With the API

Forms, questions and quizzes can also be managed with the public API: PUT /v1/triggers/{id}/form.
