Matrix choices in e-mail messages

Hi @Jeroen MPS It does looks like it’s not possible to select the matrix question manually, but I’m not sure why. I’m asking the product team for you!

@Liz - sort of like getting the ability to implement logic rules on the matrix answers… i am guessing on that.. both of these would be good.. i will upvote to product team please!

Hi Liz,

Thanks for your reply and research. If it isn't possible to recall the information, then what is the benefit of having a Matrix functionality in typeform?

Is it possible to recall the matrix information in Excel for example or through another connection/plugin?

Hi @Jeroen MPS I would say the overall question itself is quite the benefit to have in the form! This is a relatively new block which we didn’t have the past few years. Even if you can’t recall the information, it’s definitely a great block to have if you need to collect information in that format. 

As for recalling outside of Typeform, I’m not quite sure I understand. Do you mind explaining a bit more what you’re looking to do? 

@Jeroen MPS - the matrix responses are recorded into a Google Sheet or Excel integration and you have full access to the data inside the spreadsheet . 

I use them extensively for a couple of clients and we do all the calculations and reporting out of the spreadsheet (Google in most cases) 

Data Studio from Google or Tableau consume the data just fine and allow you all sorts of dashboarding and analysis when they can pull the data from the spreadsheet.

Thanks @john.desborough and @Liz for your help. I will do some research about the mentioned Google Solution. I'm pretty restricted at work to make connection with other applications. So e-mail messages are the most convenient for me at this moment.

​

@Jeroen MPS once you get the data into the Google sheet, as in my case, you use the Document Studio add-on for Google Sheets to merge the output into a report document and mail it out as pdf, directly from the Sheet via Document Studio.. 

works well for me and my clients so far. 

cheers
