Use the Responses, Runs, and Participants tabs on a pulse to see who answered and what they said. Each tab shows only the responses you are allowed to see. See Response sharing.

Read individual responses

The Responses tab shows a table for one run. Each row shows the Participant, their Response, and the Deadline. On anonymous pulses, the name shows as Anonymous. Use Run to select a different run. By default, the table shows the most recent run that has started. The table shows people with every status. To see only one status, select Filter, add Status, and choose one:
  • Not responded
  • Responded
  • Pending
  • Failed
Use the search box to find a participant. Select Filter to add more filters:
  • Name, Email, Group, Job title, or Manager
  • Relationship to you
  • Start date or Tenure
Anonymous pulses do not have search or filters, so they can’t show who wrote an answer.

Nudge people who have not responded

The Responses tab is read-only. You can’t nudge people here. To nudge people who have not responded, use the Runs tab. See Nudge participants.

Download responses as a CSV

Select the Download responses icon on the Responses tab. The file has the selected run only. It has one row for each participant you can see, including people who have not responded, with these columns:
  • Scheduled At
  • Windy Chat Sent
  • Responded At
  • Employee Name and Employee Email (both “Anonymous” on anonymous pulses)
  • Response
The status filter, search, and other filters don’t change the export.

Check each run

The Runs tab lists every run of the pulse: A run can also show chips for chats that are pending or that failed to send. A failed chat usually means the person has no mapped Slack account. To share one link to a run, select Copy link on the run. You can send the same link to all participants. Each person who opens it goes to their own response for that run.

Check runs across all pulses

The Runs tab on the Pulse surveys page lists runs from all pulses you can see. Select a run to see each participant’s status:
  • Scheduled or Sending
  • Awaiting response
  • Submitted
  • Overdue
  • Delivery failed

Check participation by person

The Participants tab lists each person in the pulse, with their Manager, Responses (responses out of chats received), and Response rate across runs.

Find one person’s responses

Open an employee’s profile and select the Pulse tab to see their responses across named pulses. You see only responses you’re allowed to see. Anonymous responses never appear here.
