Upload Your First Survey in 10 Minutes

Step-by-step walkthrough for connecting Google Forms or uploading a CSV and reading your first insights.

Prerequisites

  • A FeedPulse AI account (Free trial is fine).
  • A CSV file containing feedback OR access to a Google Form.

Option A: Connect a Google Form (Recommended)

  1. Go to Dashboard: Click "New Project".
  2. Select Source: Choose "Google Forms".
  3. Share your form: Copy the service account email shown on screen, then open your Google Form and share it with that email as an Editor.
  4. Paste URL: Paste your Google Form URL (e.g., https://docs.google.com/forms/d/.../edit).
  5. Verify & Connect: Click the button — we'll verify access and begin syncing.
  6. Map Columns: Tell us which question is the "Score" (NPS/CSAT) and which is the "Comment".
    • Note: You don't need a Score column if it's just text.
  7. Analyze: Click "Start Analysis".

Result: In 2-3 minutes, you'll get a full dashboard. And every time someone submits a new response, it syncs automatically — no login or OAuth needed.

Option B: The CSV Upload

  1. Export Data: Go to SurveyMonkey, Typeform, or Qualtrics and "Export to CSV".
  2. Clean Headers: Ensure your first row has the question text.
  3. Upload: In FeedPulse, select "CSV Upload". Drag and drop your file.
  4. Map Columns: Select the columns containing text you want to analyze. You can select multiple text columns!
  5. Run: Click "Analyze".

Reading the Results

Once done, go to the "Drivers" tab. This is your gold mine. It tells you exactly what themes are driving positive or negative sentiment.
