If a survey is closed, it doesn't appear for the visitor in the same browser session. If a survey is submitted, then it doesn't appear for the same visitor ever again.

Usage Examples
- Pass business data for custom rules.
webengage.survey.options('ruleData', {
'itemsInCart' : 3,
'cartAmount' : 1288,
'customerType' : 'gold'
});
- Show surveys to a visitor everytime a new browser session starts.
By specifying a session_id (some unique identifier for a browser session) as the survey scope with scopeType as 'session', one can make a survey re-appear to a visitor, even if the visitor has closed or submitted it in a previous browser session.
webengage.survey.options({
'scope' : '_USER_SESSION_ID_',
'scopeType' : 'session'
});
- Show a survey to a visitor every day irrespective of them closing/submitting the same survey.
By specifying today's date as the survey scope, one can make a survey re-appear to a visitor each day even if the visitor has closed or submitted it.
var today = new Date();
webengage.survey.options('scope', {
'scope' : (today.getDate()+"-"+today.getMonth()+"-"+today.getYear()),
'scopeType' : 'session',
'surveyIds' : ["~29aj48l"]
});
- Show a survey once to a user logged in from different browsers.
If you want a survey to be submitted once per logged in user irrespective of different browser sessions, then the specify logged in user's email or userId as the scope with scopeType as global.
webengage.survey.options({
'scope' : '_USER_EMAIL_',
'scopeType' : 'global'
});
Survey Methods
webengage.survey.render()
This method allows you to override survey settings as configured on WebEngage dashboard. It also overrides any provided global configuration properties on the page. This method accepts all survey configuration properties.
Usage Examples
- Open a survey on click of a button.
webengage.survey.options({
'surveyId' : '_SURVEY_ID_', // survey id to be rendered ... note : it is optional
'defaultRender' : false
});
webengage.onReady(function(){
document.getElementById("_BUTTON_ID_").onclick = function () {
webengage.survey.render();
};
});
- Open a survey on page scroll (down).
webengage.survey.options({
'defaultRender' : false
});
(function () {
var getScrollPercentage = function () {
var documentHeight = $(document).height();
var viewPortHeight = $(window).height();
var verticlePageOffset = $(document).scrollTop();
return Math.round(100* (viewPortHeight+verticlePageOffset)/documentHeight);
}
var surveyDisplayed = false;
webengage.onReady(function(){
window.onscroll = function (event) {
if (!surveyDisplayed && getScrollPercentage() >= 70) {
webengage.survey.render({ surveyId : '_SURVEY_ID_' }); // invoking webengage.survey.render with specific survey id
surveyDisplayed = true;
}
}
});
})();
