With easyfeedback you have various possibilities to integrate your survey on the website. The integrated tracking allows you, without the help of programmers, to let the survey appear on the whole or on selected pages.
In addition to the options mentioned above, you can also insert your survey on your website yourself by using HTML code and set a link. Simply copy the survey link and paste it at the position where you want the survey to appear.

By clicking on the button Get the code, the code for embedding is displayed. Simply copy the code and paste it into your website at the position where the button should be appeared.
