Adding a Date & Time Question

To include a Date & Time question in your survey:

• Navigate to Surveys from the left side under Outreach.
• Open your survey from the Survey listing screen.

• Create a New Survey or open an existing one.

• Click Add Element.

• Then select the Date & Time question type.

Once you have selected the Date & TIme element, you'll need to provide the following information:

• Question: Enter the question you want to ask. Example: “When would you like us to follow up?” or “Please select the date and time of your visit.”
• Placeholder: It appears inside the field before the user selects a date and time. Example: “Select Date and Time”.
• Mark Required: Decide whether the question should be mandatory for the respondent.
• Capture Value in Salesmate Field: If needed, you can map the selected date and time to a corresponding field in Salesmate for future use in automations or reporting.

• You can click on Preview to see how the Long Text question will appear to respondents.

• Once the configuration is completed, hit Save.

Practical Use Case

Let’s say you’re conducting a survey to book demo calls or service appointments. You can add a date & time field asking "Please select a convenient date and time for a follow-up call" so respondents can easily share their availability while submitting the survey.
