Intro
SurveyMonkey is a cloud-based company that provides free, customizable surveys, as well as a suite of paid back-end programs that include data analysis, sample selection, bias elimination, and data representation tools. To learn more about the SurveyMonkey API, visit their website. (https://developer.surveymonkey.com/api/v3/ ). The SurveyMonkey connector is a “Cloud App” connector, meaning it retrieves data stored in the cloud. In the Data Center, you can access the connector page for this and other Cloud App connectors by clicking Cloud App in the toolbar at the top of the window. You connect to your SurveyMonkey account in the Data Center. This topic discusses the fields and menus that are specific to the SurveyMonkey connector user interface. General information for adding DataSets, setting update schedules, and editing DataSet information is discussed in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.Primary Use Cases | Survey and response analysis |

Best Practices
Use this connector to pull historical data, then append new data via a recursive DataFlow. For more information, see Creating a Recursive/Snapshot Magic ETL DataFlow.Prerequisites
To connect to your SurveyMonkey account and create a DataSet, you must have the username and password you use to log into your SurveyMonkey account.Connecting to Your SurveyMonkey Account
This section enumerates the options in the Credentials and Details panes in the SurveyMonkey Connector page. The components of the other panes in this page, Scheduling and Name & Describe Your DataSet, are universal across most connector types and are discussed in greater length in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.Credentials Pane
The Domo SurveyMonkey connector uses OAuth to connect, so there is no need to enter credentials within Domo. Click Connect (or select Add Account if you have existing SurveyMonkey accounts in Domo) to open the SurveyMonkey OAuth screen where you can enter your SurveyMonkey username and password. Once you have entered valid SurveyMonkey credentials, you can use the same account any time you go to create a new SurveyMonkey DataSet. You can manage connector accounts in the Accounts tab in the Data Center. For more information about this tab, see Managing User Accounts for Connectors.Details Pane
