Guide

Run a post-meeting survey with Survey.is.

Use a short survey after a meeting to learn whether the time was useful, next steps were clear, and the next session should change.

Best for recurring meetings and working sessions Uses ratings, one choice question, and one open prompt

Example Scenario

A product manager runs a weekly launch sync with product, marketing, support, and operations. The meeting is supposed to confirm launch blockers, decisions, owners, and timing. Attendance is good, but the organizer is not sure whether people leave with clear next steps.

The team does not need a heavy workshop assessment. They need a one-minute follow-up survey that can be sent in chat right after the meeting and reviewed before the next sync.

The easiest post-meeting survey is short enough to answer before someone closes their laptop: two ratings, one choice, and one optional improvement prompt.

Use Four Questions

Keep the question set stable if this is a recurring meeting. The first two answers show whether the meeting is working. The last two tell you what to adjust.

Question Type Why it helps
How useful was today's launch sync? 1-5 stars Measures whether the meeting was worth the time.
How clear are your next steps after the meeting? 1-5 stars Checks whether decisions and ownership landed.
Was the meeting length right for the decisions we needed to make? Multiple choice Shows whether to shorten, lengthen, or keep the format.
What should we change for the next launch sync? Free form Captures the practical fix you might miss in ratings.

For the length question, use three choices: Too short, About right, and Too long.

Create The Survey

Open the project where the meeting belongs, choose New survey, and create a blank survey. Give it a plain title that people will recognize, such as Launch Sync Meeting Follow-up.

Add the two star ratings, the meeting-length multiple choice question, and the optional free-form prompt. Set the survey to Active when you are ready to collect responses.

Share The Link

Open the survey's Invitations page. The manual sharing tab gives you a public link, a short survey code, and a QR code.

For most post-meeting surveys, paste the public link into the meeting chat or the follow-up message. If the meeting is in-person or shown on a conference-room display, use the QR code instead.

Manual sharing is the fastest delivery path: copy the link, paste it into chat, and responses can start immediately.

Collect Responses

The public survey page keeps the experience focused. Attendees answer the ratings, choose the meeting-length option, and add one short suggestion if they have one.

Because the survey is short, it fits naturally into the last minute of the meeting or the first line of the follow-up note.

Read The Results

Open Results after a few responses arrive. The overview shows response count and status, while each question card shows the answer distribution and useful summary metrics.

For this example, the usefulness rating averaged 4.2 out of 5, while next-step clarity averaged 3.8 out of 5. That tells the organizer the meeting is valuable, but the closeout needs sharper owner and timing confirmation.

Use the rating averages and answer distributions to decide what to keep or adjust before the next meeting.

Then read the open-text suggestions. In the sample responses, attendees asked for earlier agenda context, a clearer risk review, a side-topic parking lot, and a few more minutes for support handoff timing. Those are concrete changes the organizer can apply immediately.

A good post-meeting result is one small adjustment for the next meeting, not a complex analysis project.
