SurveyMethods Overview#

The SurveyMethods API allows users to automate the management and analysis of surveys and the corresponding data. With the Pipedream integration, you can trigger workflows based on survey events, sync survey results with other databases or apps, and manage survey distribution programmatically. This serves to streamline the survey process from distribution to data actioning, all in real-time and without the need for manual intervention.

Trigger Code#

import surveymethods from "../../surveymethods.app.mjs";
import { DEFAULT_POLLING_SOURCE_TIMER_INTERVAL } from "@pipedream/platform";

export default {
  name: "New Survey Created",

      type: "$.interface.timer",
      static: {
        intervalSeconds: DEFAULT_POLLING_SOURCE_TIMER_INTERVAL,
      },
    },
  },
  hooks: {
    async deploy() {
      const surveys = await this.surveymethods.getSurveys({
        perPage: 10,
      });

      surveys.reverse().forEach(this.emitEvent);
    },
  },
  methods: {
    async emitEvent(data) {
      this.$emit(data, {
        id: data.code,
        summary: `New survey created with code ${data.code}`,
        ts: Date.parse(data.created_date),
      });
    },
  },
  async run() {
    let page = 1;

    while (page >= 0) {
      const surveys = await this.surveymethods.getSurveys({
        page,
        perPage: 100,
      });

      surveys.reverse().forEach(this.emitEvent);

      if (surveys.length < 100) {
        return;
      }

      page++;
    }
  },
};
