Survey types

Pick the right question for every moment

Different moments need different questions. Novella gives you a library of proven survey types so you can measure loyalty, satisfaction and effort across your entire journey.

NPS (Net Promoter Score)

Understand long-term loyalty with a single, benchmarkable question. Segment results by plan, lifecycle stage, industry and more.

Detractor alerts Promoter follow-up Benchmarks over time

CSAT & thumbs

Capture quick “how did we do?” feedback after support tickets, onboarding steps or key product milestones.

Stars or thumbs Optional follow-up question

CES (Customer Effort Score)

Measure how easy it is for customers to complete critical tasks like signing up, upgrading or resolving an issue.

1–7 effort scale Journey friction insights

Likert & custom questions

Use Likert scales and simple text questions to dig deeper into product-market fit, feature satisfaction and expectations.

Statement banks Multiple questions
Delivery

Deliver surveys with precision

Choose where and how surveys appear — without overwhelming your users.

Website Widgets

Beautiful, fast widgets you can trigger based on user behavior, time on page, scroll depth, page type, referrer or custom rules.

On-site Behavior-based Fully branded

Email Embeds

Embed surveys directly into lifecycle, onboarding, support and product emails. Works with any email tool — no coding required.

Lifecycle Transactional Works with any ESP

Smart Triggers

Control who sees which survey — and when. Set triggers manually using key journey events like first value reached, ticket closed, or trial ended, or let AI suggest the optimal moment to ask. Built-in frequency caps prevent over-surveying by default.
