Yay! You're ready to send your first pulse.

Our pulse campaigns give you a simple way to get answers to key questions you have about your colleagues.

Note: You need to have pulse permissions turned on to be able to complete this action.

  1. Log in as an Admin

  2. In the left-hand menu select 'Pulse'

  3. Ensure you're viewing 'Live campaigns' tab in the sub-menu and select 'New Campaign'

  4. Select a question - this can be a benchmarked question, one you've asked previously or a brand new one (which you can type in the box below)

  5. Select your answer type

  6. Choose whether you'd like to ask a follow up question. This will allow your employees to provide more context to their original response. You can add word tiles to help your employees respond whilst minimising the worry of being identified by their style of writing.

  7. Choose whether you’d like to tag a value onto the question. You can either choose from the drop down menu of values you’ve already set up, or set up a new value from this step.

  8. You’ll get the option to attribute the value to certain answer selections depending on the answer type you choose. For example, if you’re asking a question with the emoji answer type, you may only want it to attribute to the value if it’s ‘happy and very happy’ or perhaps the opposite - depending on what you want to track!

  9. Click save when you’ve added the value.

  10. You can add multiple questions by scrolling up to the top and repeating steps 4-6

  11. Once you're happy with your questions, click 'Confirm Campaign'

  12. Select the audience you'd like to send your survey to - this can either be a fixed or dynamic audience.

  13. Add your rule types to the audience. These are based on the segment data uploaded in your employee spreadsheet

  14. Introduce your survey. This step is optional, but it's a great way to provide more context to your employees and encourage them to engage with your campaign.

  15. Schedule your campaign. Choose whether to send it once (the field will pre-populate for an hour after survey creation), for a time / date in the future (you can set it to send whenever suits using the 'How often should the survey repeat' button) or save it as a draft.

  16. Once you're ready to launch, click 'Create Campaign' or, if you would like to come back to the campaign at a later date, click 'Save this as a draft'.

p.s those little butterflies you get just before you need to click send? We all get them. Even the Stribe team 😊

We made a little video of this process too, watch it below.

If you cannot see the 'Pulse' section within Stribe it means that you do not have the correct permissions to complete this action. Contact your main system Administrator to gain permission for this action.
