When creating Digioh Boxes for survey use cases, you want the aggregate data in an easily analyzable form. With a little metadata configuration on your box, you can send survey question & answer data to Google Analytics (or any other supported BI system), using the Digioh App “Survey Response Tracking”. In the Digioh HQ, go to your profile menu top right, click “Custom JS (Apps)”, find and install the app, then Publish to activate it.
The controlling metadata commands are:
- track_survey_question : 1 (on text element) or question text (on page)
- track_survey_answer : 1 (on input fields or buttons)
Note that previously, these commands had a ga_ prefix instead of track_. This app is now supports multiple BI/Analytics system, and the ga_ prefix is still supported, but it will track to whatever tracking “plugin” you have installed.
This app assumes that Box pages have exactly one or zero questions. It does not support more than one question on a single page, but can support multiple answers.
Page-level Question configuration, with the question in metadata:
Text-element-level Question configuration, the logged question is the text itself. This is the recommended best practice as logging is “wysiwyg”:
Form-input Answer configuration:
Button Answer configuration:
When using Box Preview or boxqamode, the app will show notifications of simulated activity to help you test before sending real data to your analytics system.
Tracking Behavior
The app will log events to your analytics system in the following format:
Event Name: digioh_survey_response
Event Properties:
- digioh_box_name : The name of the box as shown in box list
- digioh_box_id: The ID of the box as shown in box list, e.g. 12345
- digioh_quiz_question: The question text, from metadata or text element
- digioh_quiz_answer: The answer text, from form input submit values, or button text
If there are multiple answers on a page, e.g. with multiple form inputs or select buttons, the app will log a separate event for each.
Note that the properties refer to “quiz” to align with Product Recommendation Quizzes and specifically reduce the number of Custom Dimensions needed in GA4, since they are limited. If you are using GA4, you will need to create these Custom Dimensions to receive the data. You can do this from the “GA Integration” page, linked from your profile menu in the Digioh HQ, top right. Create all of the Required “Standard” dimensions, but if you are not using Digioh Quizzes, you can ignore the Quiz Required dimensions except for digioh_quiz_question and digioh_quiz_answer.
