Survey Responses Using Invitation Configurations (POST, PATCH)

Create responses using the invitation configuration details and initiate the process of submitting the survey responses by making a POST request. Submit the survey responses using the PATCH request.

Salesforce Feedback Management Business API performance can be impacted if a POST request exceeds 3600 calls per minute and if a PATCH request exceeds 1800 calls per minute at the organization level.

You can create a survey to collect data from customers, employees, or other people whose feedback you need. The survey responses are stored in the SurveyResponse object and the responses to individual questions in the SurveyQuestionResponse object.
