Is there a way to offer tailored advice based on survey responses?

@Brodie Sharpe - welcome to the community from a fellow user. 

Absolutely! 

think of it this way, if you can sketch out the mindmap or the decision tree on a napkin, you can do this in Typeform. I use the tool this way to help organizations look at data quality and data governance and based on how they see their current state and future state measures (against a matrix model) i provide them with a range of high level things they can do to improve their performance across the various categories as well as providing some highlevel ‘improvement project’ ideas they can pursue to improve their data quality/governance ‘fitness’ 

There used to be a training program series for runners called PC Coach, back in the late 90’s early 2000’s and they worked with Uta Pippig to create a training program for marathon runners that asked a bunch of similar questions, including how much time did you have to train per day, per week. Would you do split sessions on a day ie weights in the morning and a temp run at night? What was your PB at the distance and what was your target. Based on all that it produced a really good training program but i can tell you now that it could be done in Typeform today. (i used the program to drop my PB from 3:50 to 3:30 and still had enough energy to chase a 3 yr old around lol that afternoon)

go for it!

Thanks John, but how do I actually implement it? I don’t see a way to construct a survey in a way that I envision. Your help would be appreciated! thanks. 

@Brodie Sharpe @James - that post about how he created his quiz set looks like it is bang on to what I think you are trying to do Brodie. Give it a read, check out the video that @James  posted and if you some additional questions we will be happy to dig in and help out!

cheers

@Brodie Sharpe If you don’t mind sharing your form once you’ve completed it, I’d love to see it! I’m a runner but terrible at training properly so I could use some tips ha!

Thanks Liz, I host The Run Smarter Podcast if you wanted to have a listen and learn a few tips.

It seems like the multiple endings trigger by logic jumps is my best bet. However, it doesnt necessary cater for my ideal outcome.

It would be nice to offer several different individual tips at the end of the survey based on several different responses, rather than categorising them into 1 ending. 

Brodie - instead of running with the standard quiz template, maybe create it using the advanced logic and the branching/calculations that are offered there.. 

that way, you could ask the questions you want, branch down different logic trees and then accumulate the bullet points you want to offer based on using a Statement page/pages for the presentation of the various options. Say you have 5 q’a for weight training, 3 q’s for core strength training and 5 q’s on distance/templo/fartlek etc (as opposed to always cranking out 5 min miles as you go) and you want to provide three possible options for weight training based on their responses in that category, 2 for core and 3 around the actual running… you could something like this: 

• assuming scores/ratings of 1-5 for each of the q’s - weight training total score could range from 5-25, core 3-15 and running 5-25
• if weight_score gt 20 AND core_score gt 10 and running_score gt 20 jump to statement page for over training and @recall the text variables for weight_overtrain, core_overtrain, Run_overtrain (these text variables could contain short text on bullet points
• OR 
• if weight_score gt 20 jump to a statement page for weight_overtrain and outline the points you want to make there.
  • then branch to the appropriate statement page for the core_score and show the bullet points you want to show for that score range
  • then branch to the running page and show stuff there.. 

that type of approach would allow you to stream them to a tree of statement pages that would give you the control over the flow, show the details before the ending page (ie on statement pages) and then put the opt in page to get more detailed materials for you by providing email in return.. even selecting the starting area (in my example, weight training or core or mixing up the running sessions) before heading to the optin page

just options

@Brodie Sharpe Followed!! :) 

Let us know if the setup @john.desborough provided works for you. 

Hi @Brodie Sharpe, this sounds like it will work for an idea I have for a typeform. I’m just wondering where I go to find these options? Particularly for your first suggestion (I have bold and underlined the section). How can I group a set of questions in this way (i.e. questions 1-5 are ‘weight’, questions 5-10 are core, etc.). And where do I input these rules (i.e. if weight_score gt 20 AND core_score gt 10 jump to statement page for overtraining)? 

Right now I have created a standard quiz with all of my questions, but now I’m trying to work out how to implement your recommendations. 

Any insights would be much appreciated!
