How to Use PostSheet for Micro-Surveys and Feedback Collection

Need quick feedback from customers, teammates, students, or event attendees?

You don’t always need a big survey platform. Sometimes, a short, well-timed, personalized message is all it takes to get valuable insights.

With Google Sheets + PostSheet, you can send simple, targeted micro-surveys that feel like a personal check-in — not a corporate feedback request.

Let’s walk through how to collect better input, faster.

🧠 What Is a Micro-Survey?

A micro-survey is:

✅ Short (1–3 questions)
✅ Delivered via email or embedded link
✅ Fast to complete
✅ Targeted to a specific moment, action, or user group

Think of it as a conversation starter, not a data dump.

📋 Step 1: Build Your Survey Audience Sheet

Set up a sheet with the people you want to reach — and context for the survey.

Name	Email	Survey Type	Triggered By	Survey Link	Custom Prompt
Jamie Wong	jamie@email.com	Product Feedback	Feature Used: Reports	link.com/survey-jamie	“What’s one thing you’d change?”
Alex Rivera	alex@email.com	Event Experience	Attended Q2 Workshop	link.com/survey-alex	“How was the session pace?”

Optional fields:

Segment (e.g. power user, trial, churned)
Product or feature name
Usage metric
Referral source

✉️ Step 2: Write a Personal Survey Request in PostSheet

The key: make it sound like you’re asking them, not your entire list.

Example:

css

Copy

Subject: Quick question, {{Name}}?

Hi {{Name}},

Just wanted to say thanks for {{Triggered By}} — we’d love to hear your thoughts.

If you’ve got 60 seconds, this short survey would really help us out:

👉 {{Survey Link}}

P.S. {{Custom Prompt}}

Thanks in advance — your feedback helps us build better.

– [Your Name or Team]

It’s short, specific, and low-pressure — just how micro-surveys should feel.

🚀 Step 3: Send with PostSheet (and Watch Responses Roll In)

Once your message and sheet are ready:

Filter by the survey type or audience segment
Connect your sheet to PostSheet
Map your merge fields ({{Name}}, {{Survey Link}}, etc.)
Preview your messages
Send right away or schedule for ideal timing (e.g., 24 hours after action)

You can even tag each row with a “Response Received” column for tracking.

🔁 Bonus: Ask Different Questions Based on User Behavior

Use your sheet to tailor prompts like:

“What made you decide to upgrade today?”
“What was missing from your trial?”
“Was the webinar what you expected?”
“How can we make onboarding smoother?”

You don’t need a new tool. You just need the right column in your spreadsheet.
