Survey Social Widget

The Social widget helps you add social media profile links to your survey. Using this widget, you can add links to a Facebook page, Instagram profile, Twitter handle, Youtube channel, and LinkedIn profiles.

You’ll notice that all social media platforms are displayed as a list.

As highlighted in the above screenshot, against each listing, there are two options:

  • A Delete button – Use it to delete the irrelevant social media icons from your survey.
  • An Expand button – For the icons that you wish to retain, click the expand button to enter the subsequent details.

Let’s have a look at the expanded settings for the social media icons:
