Set Recontact Options right

A common hiccup is users seeing one survey but it doesn’t appear again. This is due to the default settings we chose to avoid survey fatigue. While setting up, we recommend the following Recontact Options: recontact options
Please change this setting after testing your survey to avoid user fatigue.

Publish the survey

Publish the survey to make it available for the SDK to pull into the website or app where you want to show it.

Enable debug mode in website / app

For better scalability, we cache the request the SDK makes to the server. This allows you to use Formbricks on websites with millions of visitors without high hosting cost. On the downside, there can be up to a 5 minute delay until the SDK pulls the newest surveys from the server.
Important: Any changes to surveys, action classes, project settings, or environment configuration will take up to 5 minutes to reflect in debug mode in your app/website due to server-side caching. This includes survey modifications, new triggers, styling changes, and other updates.
To avoid the delay during development and testing, please switch on the Debug Mode.
