User Metadata

Formbricks captures metadata of your users for you when they fill a survey.

This metadata is useful for understanding the context in which the user filled the survey. For example, if you are running a marketing campaign, you can understand which source is driving the most responses. Or if you are running a survey on a specific page, you can understand the user's behavior on that page.

Metadata Captured

Source: The source from where the user filled the survey. This could be an App, Link, or a Webpage.
URL: The URL of the page where the user filled the survey.
Browser: The browser used by the user to fill the survey.
OS: The operating system of the device used by the user to fill the survey.
Device: The device used by the user to fill the survey.
Country: The country of the user.

Go to the Responses tab of your survey.
Hover over the profile icon of the user on the response card & you should see a tooltip opening up with the metadata details.

Filter Responses by Metadata

Go to the Responses tab of your survey.
Click on the Filter button.
