Can I check the responses for a specific survey via AI?

Yes! Use the `list_refiner_responses` tool and provide the Survey UUID. Your agent will retrieve the latest submissions, which you can then ask the AI to summarize or filter by date.

How do I identify a user and add custom traits using the agent?

Use the `identify_refiner_user` action. Provide the User ID or Email and a JSON string of `traits` (e.g., '{"plan":"pro"}'). This helps you target surveys based on specific user metadata.

Is it possible to track a custom event to trigger a survey via AI?

Absolutely. Use the `track_refiner_event` tool. Provide the event name and the user's ID/Email. When this event is logged, Refiner will trigger any surveys you have configured for that specific action.
