How Surveys Work
We've taken into consideration that not all Members access the App to complete surveys. Authorised Representatives can assist Members to complete the survey.
Members and Authorised Representatives marked as primary contacts will receive a notification about a new survey that a Member might need assistance with - these will appear in the notifications tab in the App.
Admin users will be able to view a Member's response by clicking on the Survey Tab on the Member's profile and then clicking on the appropriate survey from the list that has been sent.
To complete a survey, Members and Authorised Representatives must be Care app users. Survey respondents will not receive email or push notifications unless they have activated their Lookout accounts.

FAQs
Can I use the survey library to manage helper and staffer surveys?
No, the Survey Library is specifically designed for sending surveys to Members, as Lookout primarily serves as a CRM for Care Recipients. However, we understand that not all Members can access the app to complete surveys. To address this, Staffers and Authorised Representatives can assist Members with survey completion.
For helpers, you can create surveys using third-party platforms (e.g., JotForms, Google Forms, etc.) and add the survey link as a third-party link in the Care App. Helpers can access and complete the survey there, but management and tracking of responses will remain within the selected third-party platform.
If you’d like to integrate survey results into Lookout, please contact our customer support for assistance.
