Manage a pulse

Open a pulse from Pulse surveys to manage it. Only owners with edit access can make changes. Other people see Read only access and can only view responses.

​

Pulse statuses

Sent and Completed both mean that no run is open. The difference is what you can do next. A pulse that you send with Send now changes to Sent, so you can send it again later. A pulse with a one-time schedule changes to Completed, and it does not send again.

​

Pulse tabs

Before launch, the pulse has Launch, Questions, Participants, and Settings tabs. After launch, the pulse has Responses, Insights, Questions, Runs, Participants, and Settings tabs. The Windy chat panel beside the tabs lets you ask Windy about the pulse.

​

Status banners

A banner at the top of the pulse shows its state and the actions you can take.

​

Send, pause, or resume a pulse

Send a new run at any time, or stop the schedule without closing open runs. There is no button to close a run. A run closes when its expiration passes. See Send again, pause, and resume.

​

Edit a pulse after launch

You can change questions, participants, and most settings. Question changes apply to the next run. You cannot change anonymity. See Edit a live pulse.

​

Extend or shorten a deadline

Change the default expiration for future runs. You can also select open or closed runs to update. See Change expiration.

​

Remind people who have not responded

Windy sends automatic reminders. You can also send a manual nudge on a named pulse. See Nudge participants.

​

Share access to the pulse

Add co-owners, change who the pulse comes from, or share results with other people. See Owners and requester and Response sharing.

​

Reuse or remove a pulse

Duplicate a pulse to run it again with a new setup or to test it again. Delete a pulse to remove it from Pulse lists and stop future runs. See Duplicate and delete a pulse.
