# Scripts & Surveys

> Give volunteers the right words to say and capture what voters tell them.

Scripts and surveys are the two tools that make a walk conversation valuable. Scripts make sure every volunteer says the right thing. Surveys capture what voters tell you at the door — data that feeds your targeting for the next round of outreach.

## Scripts

A script is the talking points a volunteer reads at the door. It appears on their phone with a tap of the **Script** button.

### Creating a script

1. Go to **Dashboard → Scripts → New Script**
2. Write your talking points in the editor
3. Use `{{tokens}}` to personalize:
   * `{{walker_name}}` — the volunteer's first name
   * `{{first_name}}` — the voter's first name
   * `{{address}}` — the stop's street address
   * `{{city}}` — the city
4. Click **Save** to publish

### Assigning a script to a walk

When generating walks or from the walk detail page, select the script from the **Script** dropdown.

<Tip>
  A campaign-wide "default" script is automatically shown if a walk has no script assigned. Set this in **Settings → Campaign → Default Script**.
</Tip>

## Surveys

Surveys are the questions your volunteer asks when someone answers the door. Responses are saved to that voter's record and available in real-time on the dashboard.

### Why surveys matter

Survey responses are the most valuable data you'll collect. They tell you:

* Who is a confirmed supporter (prioritize for GOTV)
* Who is undecided (prioritize for persuasion)
* Who is opposed (remove from future contact)
* What issues voters care about most (sharpen your message)

### Creating a survey

1. Go to **Dashboard → Surveys → New Survey**
2. Add questions. Question types:
   * **Yes/No** — quick binary
   * **Rating (1–5)** — support level scale
   * **Single choice** — pick one from a list
   * **Multi-choice** — pick multiple
   * **Short text** — free-form note
3. Mark required questions vs. optional
4. Click **Save**

### Assigning a survey to a walk

Select the survey from the **Survey** dropdown when creating or editing a walk.

### Viewing survey results

Go to **Dashboard → Walks → \[walk name] → Results**. You'll see:

* Response breakdown by question (charts)
* Individual voter responses
* Support level distribution across the walk

Survey data also rolls up to the voter's detail record — tap any voter name to see their full response history.
