Re-Showing Dismissed Surveys

Your users can dismiss surveys by default without having to submit answers. The good news is that you can set these previously dismissed surveys to appear again using the following method.

//Set how many sessions and days are required to show the survey again
Surveys.setThresholdForReshowingSurveyAfterDismiss(3, daysCount: 5)

//Set how many sessions and days are required to show the survey again
[IBGSurveys setThresholdForReshowingSurveyAfterDismiss:3 daysCount:5];

For an already dismissed survey to be re-shown to the same user, two requirements must be met: days and sessions. For example, if you set days to 10 and sessions to 5, the survey will only be shown to a user again after 10 days have passed AND 5 separate sessions have been initiated. By default, this is set to 4 and 4.

Setting the days and sessions fields to 0 will allow the survey to be shown again immediately.

Surveys that have already been answered cannot be re-shown. Manual Targeting surveys, on the other hand, have no limits and can be re-shown any number of times.

🚧

Auto Targeting Surveys Can Only Be Shown a Maximum of Two Times

Once a survey is dismissed for the second time, it cannot be shown again to that user even if they meet the day and session requirements you set. Only auto targeting surveys that have appeared less than twice can be re-shown.

Showing a Welcome Screen

You can show your users a welcome screen before a survey rather than asking the first question immediately. By default, this is disabled. To enable the survey welcome screen, use the following method.

Surveys.shouldShowWelcomeScreen = true

IBGSurveys.shouldShowWelcomeScreen = YES;

Surveys in Older Instabug SDK Versions

For every survey that you publish, you will be able to view the number of times your survey has been shown to your users, the number of users who saw the survey and submitted a response, and the number of times your survey has been dismissed.

Starting from Instabug SDK Version 7.12.6, we improved the way we collect survey data. Because of the new data that we collect, Instabug In-App Surveys are only functional with SDK Version 7.12.6 and above.
