SurveyMonkey actions 22

Every SurveyMonkey action below is a callable tool any Definable persona can invoke.

Create Bulk Contacts

Creates multiple contacts in SurveyMonkey in a single API call. Use this action to efficiently add multiple contacts at once, optionally updating existing ones. Each contact requires first_name, last_name, and either email or phone_number. The response indicates which contacts succeeded, which were invalid, and which already existed. Requires 'contacts_write' OAuth scope.

Create Contact

Creates a new contact in SurveyMonkey. Contacts can be added to contact lists and used for email invitations. Use this action when you need to add a new contact to your SurveyMonkey account for survey distribution.

Create Contact List

Creates a new contact list in SurveyMonkey. Contact lists are used to organize contacts for sending survey invitations via email or SMS collectors. Use this action when you need to create a contact list before adding contacts and sending surveys. Returns the contact list ID and API URL for managing the list.

Create Survey

Creates a new empty survey in SurveyMonkey with one empty page and no questions. Returns the survey ID and internal URLs for editing, previewing, and analyzing results — shareable collector URLs are not returned; use SURVEY_MONKEY_GET_COLLECTORS after creation to retrieve or manage those. The survey_id can be used with other actions to add questions, pages, or collectors. Finalize survey design before broad distribution, as modifying questions after distributing live links can invalidate prior responses. Example: "Create a survey titled 'Customer Satisfaction Survey'"

Create Survey Folder

Creates a new survey folder in SurveyMonkey to organize surveys. Use when you need to create a folder for grouping related surveys.

Delete Survey

Tool to delete a specific survey. Use when the survey ID is confirmed correct. Deletion is irreversible. Example prompt: "Delete survey '123456789'."

Bulk Get Contacts

Tool to retrieve contacts in bulk from SurveyMonkey. Use when you need to fetch multiple contacts efficiently with pagination support.

Get Survey Collectors

Tool to retrieve a list of collectors for a specific survey. Use when you need collector URLs, counts, and statuses. Survey creation does not return shareable links; use this tool to obtain collector URLs after creating a survey.

Get Contacts

Retrieves a list of contacts from SurveyMonkey. Use this tool to fetch contacts that can be used for sending survey invitations. Contacts can be filtered by status (active, optout, bounced), searched by email or name, sorted by various fields, and paginated through using page/per_page parameters. Returns contact details including ID, email, names, phone numbers, and custom fields. Requires 'contacts_read' or 'contacts_write' OAuth scope.

Get Current User

Tool to retrieve the current authenticated user's account details including plan information. Use when you need to get information about the authenticated user's SurveyMonkey account.

Get Groups

Tool to retrieve a list of groups. Use after authentication when you need to enumerate or paginate through all groups in your SurveyMonkey account.

Get Survey Responses

Tool to retrieve a paginated list of responses for a specific survey. Use when you need to browse or filter responses after confirming the survey ID. Iterate through all pages using `page` and `per_page` to avoid missing responses in large surveys.

Get Survey Details

Retrieves comprehensive details and metadata for a specific survey by its ID. Returns survey configuration including title, language, question/page counts, response count, URLs for preview/edit/analyze/collect, navigation button text, and creation/modification timestamps. Use this to get detailed information about a survey after obtaining its ID from Get Surveys.

Get Survey Details (Expanded)

Retrieves expanded survey details including all pages, questions, and answer options. Use when you need the complete survey structure with question IDs and answer option IDs for mapping responses.

Get Survey Responses (Bulk)

Tool to retrieve bulk survey responses with full question answers and response data. Use when you need to export or analyze detailed response data for a survey.

Get Surveys

Tool to retrieve a paginated list of surveys. Use when you need to enumerate or paginate through all surveys. Results are capped at 100 per page (`per_page` max=100); iterate over all pages using `page` to avoid missing surveys on large accounts.

Get Survey Trends

Tool to retrieve trend data for a survey showing answer counts for particular time periods. Use when you need to analyze response trends over time for survey questions. Not available for file_upload, slider, presentation, demographic, matrix_menu, or datetime question types.

List Available Languages

Tool to retrieve all available languages for creating multilingual surveys. Use when you need to get language codes and names for survey creation or translation.
