Publishing moves a survey from an editable draft into an active response flow. Review carefully before this step.

Before publishing

  • Preview the survey on the expected device size.
  • Confirm question wording and order.
  • Verify the audience and invitation emails.
  • Check demographics and the anonymity threshold.
  • Confirm the closing date and communication plan.

Publish and distribute

For a shared-link survey, Culture Vibe creates a short public survey URL. For an employee audience, invitation records use private tokens and can be sent through the invitation workflow.

Monitor participation

Use the survey status and invitation information to track completed and pending responses. Send reminders thoughtfully; repeated pressure can reduce trust.

Close the survey

Closing ends the response window and starts final analytics processing. Results and AI-generated themes may take a short time to appear while background analysis completes.
Keep the survey open long enough to include people across schedules and locations, but avoid extending it repeatedly without explaining why.
Avoid changing the measurement after responses begin. If a material correction is required, contact support before proceeding.
Check the employee email address and delivery status. Correct the roster before sending another invitation.
Treat results as final after the survey closes and analytics processing completes.
Themes are generated after the survey has closed, not while the survey is open.
