1. Branding

The Branding section allows the following changes to your CX project:

Brand/product name (Required)
Update logo (PNG, JPG, GIF)
Top bar color
Button text color

To make these changes:

1: Click “Branding”
2: Required: Edit the “Brand/product name” → (ex. "Our Fabulous Food")
3: Click “Update logo” → and add an image; Change out your logo as often as you like. Upload your image in either a PNG, JPG, or GIF file format. (See What format and file size should I use for logos?)

Notice how the accent color for the “Top bar” and “Button text” options automatically changes to the dominant color in your logo. (You can change these colors, of course!)
4: Change the default “Top bar” → and “Button text” colors; Change your accent colors by clicking the down arrows and choosing a new color from the palettes.

For more precision, enter your brand’s hex color codes (ex. #EF5F1C).
5: Save your changes!

Brand/product name (required)

Changes to the Brand/product name has three effects:

1: If no logo is added, your brand/product name will also appear at the top of the survey
2: Whatever you enter into the brand/product name box will alter the default question; Adding "Our Fabulous Food" will change the default NPS question to, "How likely are you to recommend 'Our Fabulous Food' to a friend?" See how to change your entire question in the Metric question section

Update logo

Upload a logo or another image to appear directly above the survey question — replacing your brand/product name.

What format and file size should I use for logos or images?

Delighted accepts PNG, JPG, and GIF image file formats.

Generally, upload an image with the largest file size available. We’ll compress it to fit the Delighted format. (Albeit, if you're running into an issue with the logo not loading, try a smaller file size.)

Avoid uploading an image where any side is less than 300 pixels, or that has excessive white space above or below the image.

Top bar color

To change the color of the survey's top bar, select your color from the color palette or enter a specific hex code. The bar color will be consistent through the entire survey experience — all the way to the Thank you page.

Button text color

To change the color of the text used for the number scale and selection choices, select your color from the color palette or enter a specific hex code.

2. Metric question

Reword your primary Metric question as needed. This will override the default question.

To edit your question:

1: Click “Metric question”
2: Reword the default question → (ex. add "... or family member?")
3: Don't forget to Save your changes!

3. Intro message and translation

Change the Survey language

Delighted supports translation to dozens of languages. The language setting set here will represent the default language of your survey.

Note: You can always translate the survey dynamically using our Locale special property. Check out this article on translating your survey!

Intro message

Craft a captivating Intro message! Briefly explain how participant feedback directly impacts improvements, set clear expectations (think "quick and easy"), and establish your brand's personality. This sets the stage for a smooth and engaging survey experience.

To change your settings:

1: Click “Intro message and translation”
2: Change your “Survey language” setting
3: Edit the default “Intro message”

4: Save your changes!

4. Comment page question

Your project automatically generates an open-ended question following the initial metric question. By default, it reads:

"Tell us a bit more about why you chose X"

However, you have some compelling alternatives:

A. Comment prompt options	Customize the Comment prompt — in other words, write your own! Dynamically include the score from the prior question—by using the variable: `{{ survey_response.score }}` For example, for a score of 10 (ex. "What made your experience a 10?") set the comment prompt to "What made your experience a `{{ survey_response.score }}`?"
B. Skip Comment prompt options	If the "Skip comment prompt" box is selected, your respondents will be taken to either your: Additional questions (if configured) Thank You Page (if no Additional questions exist) Note: You can also skip the Comment Prompt for specific score group, such as Promoters. To learn more, review our Special Properties article.

To edit your Comment page:

1: Pick "Comment question”
2: Option A: Enter a new “Comment prompt”
3: Option B: Choose "Skip comment prompt" → and eliminate the page altogether. (Uncheck to restore the page)
4: Click "Save changes'

Can I move the Comment question to follow my Additional questions?

It’s not possible to move the built-in Comment question prompt in the survey flow.

However, there is a workaround!

1. Skip the Comment question prompt as explained above
2. Create your Additional questions
3. Create a "free response" type Additional question and place it anywhere you like — first, last, or in the middle. (See Additional questions for more details.)

Note: You can also skip the Comment Prompt for specific score types, such as Promoters. To learn more, review our Special Properties page.

5. Additional questions

Click the Additional questions tab to insert up to 10 custom — yet optional — Additional questions to each CX survey platform.

These questions will follow your initial Metric question and Comment question. (Note: Remember, you can Skip the Comment question and go straight to your Additional questions if you find that to be a better strategy.)

Visit our Additional questions article for a comprehensive guide.

6. Thank you page

The Thank you page displays a default message after a recipient takes a survey. The default reads, "Thanks, we really appreciate your feedback."

However, this message may not meet your needs. Plus, there are other very important options — all of which can be altered quickly!

Deliver the "Same message for everyone"
Show a Different message" based on the score selected in the primary Metric question
Add a follow-up "Link URL" either back to your website or to another location
"Skip" the thank you page altogether

Visit our detailed Thank you page article

Since there are so many nuances, we've created a detailed self-Help Center article covering every possible change. Jump to our Thank you page article to learn more.

To edit your Thank you message:

1: Click "Edit and send"
2: Open the "pencil" icon on the Link tile
3: Make your changes → (ex. Craft separate messages for Promoters, Passives, and Detractors for an NPS Metric question)

Can I skip the Thank you page or use it to generate referrals?

Yes and yes! Just click "Skip thank you message."

Pop on over to Thank You Pages in this Help Center to learn about the options.

7. Change your CX Metric question

You can change your primary Metric question — as long as you are still in the process of Customizing your survey.

For example, you can change an 11-point NPS Metric to a 5-point CSAT Metric question as suggested in steps 1-6 below.

Once you send the survey and receive responses, you can't change the Metric.

To change your primary Metric question:

1: Select the "Primary questions" tab
2: Click "Change your CX Metric" → seen at the bottom of your customization preview
3: A menacing sounding box will appear alerting you of the consequences! (Don't panic. It just says you'll be starting your surveys' customization over again.); Click "Delete this project → followed by the "Create new" button
4: An even more threatening page will appear! This time with a bright red button, asking, "Are you are serious!" Are you? If so, click "Delete this project"
5: As you return to the Platforms page, select a different Metric question and start Branding again. (Now, that wasn't so bad, was it?)

8. Preview both Mobile & Desktop

Simply toggle between your "Desktop" and "Mobile" views to see how your survey will appear on different devices.

Can I edit a CX project that's already collecting responses?

Yes! Of course.

While you can't change your primary Metric question after you've sent and shared your survey (see Change your CX metric question) you can still change your Branding, fix spelling errors, add Additional questions, change the Thank you message, and a host of other things.

To make changes to an existing project:

1: Click "Edit and send"
2: Open the "pencil" icon for the Link platform
3: Choose any of the editing options → and edit away!

Can I remove the "Powered by Delighted" link?

Not currently.

We include the "Powered By Delighted" link as a trustmark, allowing your respondents to learn more about our survey platform and the security and privacy policies associated with the Delighted brand.
