Survey answers in your Dovetail projects
Feed survey answers into a Dovetail project or channel for your research, and add the people who answered, through a Zap that runs on each new answer.
From an answer in Usertick to Dovetail
Research works best with every source in one place. A Zap adds each answer to a Dovetail project, adds it as a data point in a channel, or adds the person who answered as a contact.
The Zap starts in Usertick. It can run on every new answer, once the AI has read one, when one turns urgent or when its status changes, and a workflow can hand over only the answers its conditions pick.
Pick a survey in the trigger, and each question arrives as its own field, so the score and the comment land in the Dovetail fields you choose. The answer's email, page, country, device and AI reading come with it.

Three Zaps to build with Dovetail
Each one starts on a Usertick trigger and uses an action from Zapier's page for Dovetail.
Feed written answers into a Dovetail channel
On New Response, Add Data Point to Channel sends the written answer as text, with Survey name as the source title and the Response link as the source URL, so the channel holds it beside your other feedback sources.
Dovetail action: Add Data Point to Channel
Collect a study's answers as data in a Dovetail project
A workflow built for one research survey ends in Workflow Step, and Add Data to Project adds each answer to the study's project, with Survey name as the title and the Answers as content that researchers can highlight and tag.
Dovetail action: Add Data to Project
Add research volunteers as Dovetail contacts
A survey that recruits participants feeds New Response, and Add Contact adds the person to the contacts database, with the name question as their name and the Respondent email and Country in the contact fields, so a researcher can reach them.
Dovetail action: Add Contact
Zapier's free plan runs a Zap with one action. A Zap with a search step or a filter has more steps and takes a paid Zapier plan.
What Usertick sends to Zapier
Every trigger carries these fields, ready to map into Dovetail.
Attachments such as screenshots stay in Usertick, because a Zap can't open their links. The Response link opens the answer with its files in the inbox.
Connect Dovetail in three steps
Settings opens Zapier with the trigger and the action already in place.
- 1
Pick the action in Usertick
Open Settings, then Integrations, select Dovetail and choose what the Zap does there.
- 2
Sign in on Zapier
Sign in to Usertick from the Zap and choose the organization when you allow access.
- 3
Map the fields and turn it on
Pick the survey to watch, map the answer's fields to Dovetail and turn the Zap on.
To send only some answers, add a Zapier step for Dovetail to a workflow instead. The workflow's conditions decide which answers reach the Zap, and the workflow can be published once its Zap is on.

A channel suits a steady stream of short feedback that Dovetail groups into themes, and a project suits one study whose data a researcher reads and tags. Add Data Point to Channel and Add Data to Project match those two cases.
Add Data Point to Channel has a source URL field, so the Response link can go there. A researcher who follows it sees the answer in the Usertick inbox, with any files the respondent added.
Zapier comes with every plan in Usertick, and Free runs 1 Zap. On Zapier, a two-step Zap like this one runs on the free plan.
No. The Zap signs in with your Usertick account, and you choose the organization when you allow access. API keys are for Usertick's REST API.
Yes. Response Analyzed filters by type and urgency, Urgent Feedback runs once for each answer that turns urgent, and a workflow's Zapier step hands over only the answers its conditions pick.
Pick the survey in the trigger. Each question then arrives as its own field, such as Q1 with the score, ready to map into Dovetail.
A Zap that starts in Dovetail can use Usertick's actions. Update Response sets an answer's status, type or urgency, Add Comment adds a note your team sees in the inbox, and Find Response looks up an answer by email or ID first.
No. Attachments stay in Usertick, because a Zap can't open their links. The Response link field opens the answer, with its files, in the inbox.
