What is an Intercept Survey?

An Intercept Survey is a regular online survey except that participants are automatically invited to participate via an Intercept when they visit your web site. Thus, you can conduct surveys without having the email address or other coordinates of the participants.

Intercept surveys let you leverage the traffic on your web site to obtain information that can be critical to your organisation's success. Web Site Evaluation Surveys and Customer Satisfaction Surveys are a types of surveys that are regularly conducted as intercept survey. They are very useful to obtain information on how your web site can be improved, and once the changes are made, on how well the changes are received by your web site visitors.

Another advantage of Intercept Surveys is that web site visitors complete the survey directly from your web site. They do not have to be redirected to another web site, which can be confusing.

What is an Intercept?

An Intercept is essentially a mechanism that lets you automatically invite certain of your web site visitors to participate in online surveys. When a web site visitor is intercepted, an invitation message is displayed to the visitor directly on your web site (no redirection to another web site or popup is required). At this point, the web site visitor can either accept or refuse the invitation. For more information on Intercepts and the different parameters used to control which web site visitors are invited to participate, read our intercept page.

Will the same visitor be invited to participant in my survey many times?

The same web site visitor will only be invited once by an intercept during a certain time frame. By default, the visitor will not be reinvited before 30 says. A browser cookie is used in order to capture the fact that a visitor has already been intercepted. You can configure how many days must elapse before one of your web site visitors will be intercepted again.
