This article covers:


Intro

As soon as a user clicks on a submit button, their data inputs are saved and sent to your CRM or any other tool via your response handlers and saved in the responses tab in your flow.

Response Overview

The default overview is our list view, where you can see one response at a time. On the top you can find three functions:

  • Copy ID: Copying the unique identifier of the response.

  • Trigger: Trigger the integrated response handlers again for an individual response.

  • Delete: Delete the response completely from our servers.

You can also select multiple responses to delete more responses at once or export them in a CSV file. You can also select the information you want to display as preview in the list overview of your responses and sort them by submission time.

🔎 If you want to change the label of your questions, you need to change the system label in your input blocks. You can find more information here.

Data Privacy

In regard to data privacy, with the Sensitive Tag, Heyflow is going the extra mile when it comes to GDPR-friendly data collection. It’s a simple toggle that allows you to decide which data you don’t want to have stored on Heyflow’s servers.

To make it even easier for you to comply with GDPR regulations, we have introduced a new toggle in the flow settings. This feature enables automated mass deletion of all user data after a specified period of time, ensuring hassle-free management of user information. Learn more about it here.

List vs. Table view

To show your responses, you can select between a list and a table view by changing the view on the top right.

The list view gives you a detailed overview of one response, whereas the table view shows you a more general overview of all responses. In both views, you can sort the responses by submissions time and use filters, e.g. adding a period or showing responses based on conditions.

Adding a period (date range)

Adding a period allows you to only show responses in a certain time range.

Adding condition(s)

Also, you can add a condition, e.g. that a certain input should contain only specific answers or is empty. You can even add multiple conditions using and & or connectors to filter your responses more in detail.


Export all responses

You can download all data of your heyflow at once in a CSV file. Comma-separated values (CSV) is a text file format in which commas are used to separate individual values and newlines are used to separate different records.

When you want to open the file in another tool, e.g. Excel or Sheets, make sure to import it, so you can individually set up the separator type.



Troubleshooting

Some inputs are missing in my response

Check, where exactly your inputs are missing. If they are missing in the beginning of the flow, it can have different reasons: It can be the outcome of a reload in the middle of the flow or also if a user switches from an in-app browser (i.e. instagram) to another browser on the same device.

As a solution, you can change the user behavior in your flow settings to force start on 1st screen and restore data.
