How do I ask follow-up questions?

Need more detail? Contact a respondent directly.

Follow-ups let you reach a specific respondent directly to ask for clarification or more detail on their answer. Each follow-up costs the same as your survey's per-response price and requires prepaid credit.

How to send a follow-up

Below any written response on your results page, click Ask follow-up.

Ask follow-up button beneath a respondent's written response

Type your follow-up question, then click Send follow-up question. The respondent will receive your question and has two days to reply.

Compose follow-up question form

Asking respondents for personal information (email, phone number, social handles, etc.) is against PickFu's terms of service. Keep follow-ups focused on the survey topic.

Cost and credit

Follow-up questions require prepaid credit. Each follow-up costs the same as your survey's per-response price — if your survey was $1.00 per response, each follow-up is also $1.00.

If the respondent doesn't reply within two days, your account is credited back the cost.

Frequently asked questions

Will I learn the respondent's identity?

No. Respondents remain anonymous. You can communicate with them about the survey topic, but you won't see their name or contact information.

Can I ask follow-ups to multiple respondents?

Yes. Send a follow-up to each respondent individually from their response card.

What if the respondent doesn't reply?

If a respondent doesn't reply within two days, your account is automatically credited back the cost of that follow-up.
