Get Started with SenseFolks | Create Your First Survey in 5 Minutes

Get your first survey live in under 5 minutes. This quick start guide walks you through creating a survey, embedding it on your site, and viewing responses.

What You'll Need

A SenseFolks account — sign up free at dashboard.sensefolks.com
A website or app where you want to embed surveys (HTML, React, Vue, Angular, or any framework)

Step 1: Create a Survey in the Dashboard

Log in to the SenseFolks Dashboard
Click New Survey in the top right
Choose a survey type (FastPoll is great for quick validation)
Configure your questions and answer options
Click Save to create your survey

Your survey is now created. You'll see a unique survey key (UUID) that you'll use to embed it.

Step 2: Copy the Embed Code

In the dashboard, open your survey
Click the Embed tab
Copy the embed code snippet

The embed code includes two parts — a script tag and the component:

html

<!-- Load the SenseFolks component (add to head or before closing body) -->
<script type="module" src="https://unpkg.com/@sensefolks/fastpoll"></script>

<!-- Place the survey where you want it to appear -->
<sf-fastpoll survey-key="your-survey-uuid"></sf-fastpoll>

Step 3: Add the Survey to Your Website

Paste the embed code into your HTML where you want the survey to appear. Here's a complete example:

html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <title>My Page</title>
  <script type="module" src="https://unpkg.com/@sensefolks/fastpoll"></script>
</head>
<body>
  <h1>We'd love your feedback</h1>
  <sf-fastpoll survey-key="your-survey-uuid"></sf-fastpoll>
</body>
</html>

The component works with React, Vue, Angular, and any other framework. See the embedding tutorial for framework-specific examples.

Step 4: View Responses

Return to the dashboard
Click on your survey
Go to the Responses tab

You'll see responses as they come in, with visualizations and export options.

Optional: Customize Appearance

Style your survey to match your brand using CSS Parts:

css

sf-fastpoll::part(button) {
  background: #007bff;
  border-radius: 8px;
}

sf-fastpoll::part(heading) {
  font-family: 'Your Brand Font', sans-serif;
}
