Build a transparent feedback culture that fuels progress

Step 1: Create your team feedback form

From your workspace, click + New → Form, or explore the Template gallery for feedback templates like Employee feedback survey
form.
Or use Magic Create, try this prompt:

“Team feedback form with rating fields, text comments, and improvement ideas.”

Add essential fields:

• Team or department (Dropdown)
  
  
• Feedback category (Communication, Workflow, Tools, etc.)
  
  
• Rating (1–5 scale)
  
  
• Comment or suggestion
  
  
• Optional name or email (for open feedback)
  
  

💡 Tip: Keep the form lightweight so teams share feedback frequently.

Step 2: Categorize and filter your responses

Use Logic → Show/Hide to reveal follow-up questions based on feedback category.
For example:

• If @category = “Workflow” → show field “Which process needs improvement?”
  
  
• If @category = “Tools” → show field “What tool causes friction?”
  
  

This keeps your form contextual and makes your dashboards easier to read later.

Step 3: Set up notifications and routing

Go to Settings → Notifications and create rules to route feedback automatically.
For example:

• If @category = “Management” → send to hr@company.com
  
  
• If @category = “Tools” → send to ops@company.com
  
  

Include submission summaries so managers can act quickly.

Step 4: Organize results in a shared dashboard

Once feedback starts rolling in, open your form’s Results → Responses tab.
Switch to Dashboard view to add visual insights:

• Pie chart: Feedback by category
  
  
• Bar chart: Average ratings per department
  
  
• Table block: Detailed comments
  
  
• Kanban view: Group items by status (New, In progress, Resolved)

Step 5: Create a team feedback app

Transform your project into a shared app with multiple pages:

• Submit feedback → your form
  
  
• Live dashboard → responses and charts
  
  
• Action items → a filtered view showing unresolved feedback
  
  

This makes feedback visible and actionable in one central space.

Step 6: Enable collaborative access

Click Share → Invite to workspace or Share → Portal link to let managers or departments access dashboards.
You can also restrict access so that only certain roles (e.g., “Team Leads”) can view or edit responses.

Step 7: Add status tracking for follow-up

Add a status field (single choice) to mark each feedback item as New, Under review, or Resolved.
Use On update logic to trigger notifications or send summary reports when status changes.
