Realtime Responses Import

As explained in Getting Started you can enable the import of responses in realtime, by doing so the Realtime endpoint URL will be displayed in the survey configuration page. Please note that if the option is not enabled, Engage Digital will not accept any incoming HTTP call on this Realtime endpoint URL.

The Realtime endpoint URL accepts HTTP POST requests in order to import survey responses in realtime (see Payload example for more detail on the payload expected by Engage Digital).
