MS Teams Survey Distribution

Use the Responsly + Microsoft Teams integration when your audience already lives in Teams—for pulse surveys, training quizzes, IT or HR forms, and other flows where a channel post or targeted send beats a standalone e-mail thread.

You can:

  • distribute surveys, forms, quizzes, and tests to Teams channels and users,
  • run recurring sends so the same form reaches a channel or roster on a schedule.

For real-time alerts when someone submits (instead of—or in addition to—posting the form), use MS Teams survey notifications so selected channels get response notifications, respondent context inside Teams, and quick links into Responsly results.

This guide walks through posting a survey to a Teams channel via Contacts → Distributions.

Connect and configure an MS Teams distribution

  5. Configure your distribution:

    • select the Team and channel where you want to distribute your survey,
    • choose whether the distribution is one‑time or recurring,
    • for recurring distributions, set the schedule (day/time).
  6. In Advanced settings, you can:

    • set whether the distribution is automatic,
    • decide if users can answer the survey only once.

On the right you’ll see a message preview that you can customize before people see the post in Teams.

After you go live, submit a test response from Teams to confirm routing, permissions, and the message copy your channel expects. For other channels outside Teams, see Survey sending and Sharing survey link.

FAQ

How do I post a Responsly survey to a Microsoft Teams channel?

Connect MS Teams under Integrations, then go to Contacts → Distributions, create a distribution, pick MS Teams as the type, select your survey, choose the team and channel, and publish. Recipients interact with the survey from the posted message.

Can I run recurring surveys to Teams automatically?

Yes. When configuring the distribution, choose recurring and set the day and time. You can also tune advanced options such as automatic sending and whether each user may respond only once.

What is the difference between MS Teams distribution and MS Teams notifications?

Distribution pushes the survey itself to channels or users on a schedule you define. Notifications send real-time alerts about new responses to selected channels—see the MS Teams survey notifications article for that workflow.
