Gain further insights about your customer by asking more detailed and personalized questions during the review process. Profile questions are similar to customer attributes where they allow you to gather what you want to know about your customers. You can ask your customers specific questions using Okendo's library of default profile questions or you can create your own custom profile questions.
You must configure the profile questions before you can embed them in your review process. Answers will appear on the customer's profile page, which you can then use to segment your data to create highly targeted marketing campaigns.
In this article, you'll learn about:
Types of profile questions
You can find these question types under the Base Questions section or used throughout the library of default profile questions.
Question Type | What it does |
Multi Value | Allows your customer to select multiple answers. |
Single Value | Allows your customers to select only one answer. |
Date | Asks your customers to share a relevant date such as a birthday or anniversary. You can choose to ask for this data in a variety of formats (month, day, or year). Note: To maintain your customer's privacy, this data won't appear in your reviews widgets. |
Location | Asks your customer to provide their location by asking for country and zone or just the country. |
Elements of a profile question
Whether you create a custom profile question or add a default one from the library, each question may include some of these elements (depending on the type of question):
Profile question element | Description |
Question | This text is what the customer sees in the review capture form. You can modify this text. |
Property profile name | Use this field to add a descriptor that will represent the question in the customer's profile. |
Options | Responses to your questions that your customer can select. |
Ask For | Determine the format that you want for your customer's response. This drop-down list appears for the Date and Location question types. |
Don't ask again for | Allows you to determine how often the customer will be asked this question. |

Delete a profile question
When you delete a profile question, you're simply removing it from the list of possible questions that you can ask during the review process, but it doesn't delete the question from the default profile question library. However, if you create a custom profile question, it will be deleted permanently.
Find the question you want to remove or delete.
Click the X, and then click the Delete button.
Click Save.
