Previously, incorporating these surveys required custom requests. Now, you can seamlessly add third-party surveys directly during the playtest ordering process. ### How it works: When placing your playtest order, navigate to the survey section and click on **Use a 3rd party survey tool**.![](https://static-playtestcloud-com.s3.amazonaws.com/changelog/external-surveys-form.png) - Provide the Survey URL: Input the survey URL from your third-party survey tool. For supported tools and instructions on survey setup compatible with our platform, [refer to our help center](https://help.playtestcloud.com/en/articles/1697774-use-your-own-survey-tool). - Ensure Compliance: Confirm that your survey adheres to our terms of service. - Test your survey to ensure that it is setup correctly. [Comprehensive steps can be found in our help center](https://help.playtestcloud.com/en/articles/8135057-how-to-test-a-3rd-party-survey-tool-integration). ![](https://static-playtestcloud-com.s3.amazonaws.com/changelog/external-surveys-redirection-confirm.png) ### Notes: - This feature is available for single-session playtests, concept tests and survey playtests at the moment. - Survey playtests that include a 3rd party survey will be paused after the order is placed. Our team will check the survey during office hours (M-F 9am-7pm CEST) to check if the playtest price needs to be adjusted.
