Simple Team Surveys

Most of the time, we would like to have opinion of team members after a occasion. Yes, I’m talking about the internal feedback surveys. I came across a simple mail survey to collect the responses with just using the outlook.

Things to know:

• This is not the option of Yes or No voting that you have in Outlook
• With this way, you can set up to collect responses to any mail id not just the one who set it up.
• This is not anonymous survey as the team members will use outlook mail directly to reply to the survey.

Lets get started

1. First create a template as below. You can be as creative as you want to be.

2. Then right click on the first smiley, enter the details as shown below screenshot: Format – mailto:get.together@xxx.com?cc=yourname@xxx.com

3. Similarly do for all the four smileys as shown below:

4. Once done, send yourself a test and check if all the smileys link works.

5. Provided everything is okay, send the survey to the audience and bcc them in.

6. You can segregate the mail responses received based on subject and do a easy counting.

Hoila, easy and elegant feedback survey created & collected in no time 🙂
