Anonymous surveys people believe · Feature pack

Track who finished. Keep names separate from answers.

See the mockups Tell us if you need this

People give safe answers when they do not believe a survey is anonymous. The survey owner has a hard choice: track who finished and lose their trust, or keep the survey anonymous and lose the completion list. This pack adds an Anonymous mode to AutoSurvey surveys in Salesforce. You choose Named or Anonymous. In Anonymous mode, names stay on a completion list that is separate from the answers. Results appear once, after the survey closes, and only for groups that are large enough. Each respondent sees what is stored before the first question.

Remind only the people who have not finished.

The completion list shows "Finished" or "Not yet". It does not show what anyone said. Reminders go only to the people who have not finished.

Small groups stay hidden.

Scores show only for groups of 5 or more responses. Comments show only for groups of 10 or more. If one group is too small, the next smallest group is hidden too, so nobody can work it out from the total.

Respondents read the real rules.

Before the first question, each respondent sees what is kept separate, who sees what, and the limits. AutoSurvey writes this text from the survey settings. The survey owner does not write it.

The mockups

These are design mockups with sample data. Every name and number on them is fictional.

Phone screen of a survey start page with a box that says the survey is anonymous, what is kept separate from the answers, and the limits — Mockup. Not a working product screen. The start page tells the respondent what is stored and the limits.

Survey privacy card with two options, Named and Anonymous, and a list of what is stored and not stored with the answers — Mockup. Not a working product screen. One choice on the survey: Named or Anonymous.

Completion tab that lists people as Finished or Not yet, with a button to remind the people who have not finished — Mockup. Not a working product screen. The completion list shows who finished, not what they said.

Results by area where groups that are too small are hidden, with a reason for each hidden group — Mockup. Not a working product screen. Results hide groups that are too small and say why.

What it does, and what it does not do

What it does

Gives each survey one choice: Named or Anonymous.
Keeps the completion list and reminders separate from the answers.
Gives the same protection to respondents who are logged in to Salesforce.
Shows one results snapshot when the survey closes, not while people still answer.
Applies the minimum group sizes to results, exports and AI summaries.
Lets only org administrators read the raw answer records.
Stops a publish that would break the promise, for example a question that asks for an email or a record ID in the link.
Lets optional questions about team or role offer "Prefer not to say".

What it does not do

Does not hide answers from the people who administer your Salesforce org. They control the system and its logs. Respondents are told this.
Cannot hide a comment, or a rare mix of answers, that identifies someone. It warns at publish and tells respondents.
Cannot hide how each person answered when everyone in a group gives the same answer.
Does not let a respondent change a response after submit.
Does not update a Contact or a Case from an anonymous survey. Use a Named survey for follow-up.
Does not make responses that you collected before the switch anonymous. They stay named.

Ask the hard questions. Get honest answers.

Tell us who you survey, how small your teams are, and what your people need to believe before they answer. Your answer helps us decide what to build.
