scope
String / Object
A visitor lifecycle depends on a long term cookie installed for your website on a browser. Lifecycle of a survey depends on the scope of a visitor. 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. If you want a survey to appear in every new browser session irrespective of the survey being submitted in a past session, you can define your own scope. In this case, specify scope as SESSION_ID and the lifecycle of a survey remains within the scope of a session ID. Refer examples below.
null
scopeType
String
By defining custom scope, you can ensure that a survey is submitted only once in that scope. By specifying the scopeType as session, you can narrow a scope within that session, making the possibility of a survey appearing multiple times to a visitor per each scope.
By specifying the scopeType as global, you can make a survey submitted once per each scope value across different browser sessions/visitors.
session
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;
}
}
});
})();Please scroll down a bit to see this in effect.
Also, note that we are calling webengage.survey.render by passing it surveyId option.
- Pass custom data / rule data.
webengage.survey.options({
'defaultRender' : false
});
webengage.survey.options('ruleData', { 'categoryCode' '_CATEGORY_CODE_', 'paidCustomer' : true });
webengage.onReady(function(){
document.getElementById("_BUTTON_ID_").onclick = function () {
webengage.survey.render({
'customData' : { 'userId' : '_USER_ID_', 'age' : _AGE_ }
});
};
});
- Track survey view in console.
webengage.survey.options({
'defaultRender' : false
});
webengage.onReady(function(){
document.getElementById("_BUTTON_ID_").onclick = function(){
webengage.survey.render().onOpen( function(){
console.log("survey open");
});
};
});webengage.survey.clear()
This method clears any rendered survey.
Usage Example
- Clear a survey on click of a button.
webengage.onReady(function(){
document.getElementById("_BUTTON_ID_").onclick = function () {
webengage.survey.clear();
};
