FAQ

How the Qualtrics task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI edit existing survey questions?

    No. The current tools only allow for creating new surveys and managing distributions.

  • 02

    Can I delete a survey through the AI?

    No. There is no tool available to delete surveys or distributions.

  • 03

    Does the AI handle the actual email sending?

    The AI triggers the distribution in Qualtrics, which then handles the actual delivery to your respondents.

  • 04

    Can I see how many people responded?

    The AI can check the status of a distribution, but it does not pull individual respondent answers.

  • 05

    Do I need to stay in the chat to finish the launch?
