Verify Your Sign-Up Email Address

As of September 25th, 2018, when you sign up for a SurveyGizmo trial account, you will need to verify your email address before you can begin to collect response data.

Until you verify your email, several features in your Trial account will be disabled:

• Share tab
• Results tab (including Individual Responses, Reports, and Exports)
• Invite Others to Test feature
• SurveyGizmo Rest API

Once the verification is complete you will gain access to the above-mentioned features.
