Hello everyone. 

I am looking to create a self-assessment for our clients to complete that will assess their levels of vitality (energy, motivation, sleep etc). They are busy execs so i want the results to be sent straight to their email so they can review them in their own time. The issue i have is this assessment is split up into three domains -OWN, SUSTAIN, RECOVER - with about 5 questions falling under each area. I’d like the end results that are emailed to them to show how they score under each of these domains so they know which one they should focus their energy on. 

How do i create a self-assessment hwere the results show an overarching score for each domain as well as high level insights. 

Thank you 

Danae

Hey Danae! Great use case. Here's how I'd set this up:

Step 1: Create a variable for each domain

In your form's Logic panel, create three variables: something like score_own, score_sustain, and score_recover. These act as running totals that accumulate as your respondent answers questions.

Step 2: Add scoring logic to each question

For each of your 15 questions, go into Logic and add a "calculate" step that says "add this answer's value to the relevant domain variable." If you use Opinion Scale or Rating questions, the numeric values are built in automatically. If you use Multiple Choice, you manually assign a point value to each option in the Logic panel.

By the time someone finishes the form, each variable holds a total score for that domain.

Step 3: Pull the scores into your results email

In your Notifications settings, set up a results email to the respondent using their email address. In the email body, use the @ recall syntax to drop in each variable, e.g. "Your OWN score: @score_own out of 25."

Step 4: Add high level insights

Use Logic to route to different Endings based on which variable has the lowest score. Each Ending can then include tailored advice for that domain, so the respondent lands on a page that tells them exactly where to focus.

Also worth checking out: Contacts and Automations: https://help.typeform.com/hc/en-us/categories/37272692524564-Contacts-Automations

If you want to go beyond a basic results email and build more sophisticated follow up flows like sending different emails based on scores or nurturing respondents over time, this is where the real power is. You can store respondents as contacts and trigger automated actions based on their answers, which could take this use case to a whole other level.
