How to Organize Customer Feedback Surveys in Hubspot
Managing customer feedback efficiently in Hubspot is essential when you run multiple surveys across different teams, products, or regions. By properly organizing your feedback surveys, you can keep your workspace tidy, find data faster, and maintain a clear view of customer sentiment over time.
This step-by-step guide explains how to structure your feedback surveys using folders, filters, and views, based strictly on the official documentation for organizing customer feedback surveys.
Overview of Feedback Surveys in Hubspot
Feedback surveys in Hubspot allow you to collect, track, and report on customer satisfaction, NPS, and other key insights. As your survey list grows, the default view can quickly become cluttered. Using organizational tools ensures each team member can find the right survey and understand its performance at a glance.
From the feedback dashboard, you can:
- View all surveys in one list.
- Create folders and move surveys into them.
- Apply filters to narrow down visible surveys.
- Customize columns to surface key details.
Accessing Feedback Surveys in Hubspot
Before organizing anything, you need to open the correct section of your Hubspot account.
- Sign in to your account.
- Navigate to the main menu and go to Service (or the relevant hub where feedback tools are available).
- Select the Feedback Surveys section from the navigation.
You will see a dashboard listing all available feedback surveys along with their status and performance data.
Creating Folders for Surveys in Hubspot
Folders are the primary way to group related surveys. You might organize them by lifecycle stage, product line, geography, or survey type.
Why Use Folders in Hubspot Survey Management
Folder organization helps you:
- Reduce visual clutter in the main survey list.
- Segment surveys by department or use case.
- Standardize how teams access and manage customer feedback.
Steps to Create a New Folder
- In the feedback survey dashboard, look for the Folder or New folder option near the top of the list.
- Click Create folder.
- Enter a clear, descriptive folder name, such as Post-Onboarding NPS or Support CSAT – EU.
- Save the folder. It will now appear in your survey sidebar or folder list.
Use naming conventions that are intuitive and consistent, so every Hubspot user on your team understands where a survey should live.
Moving Surveys Into Folders in Hubspot
Once folders exist, you can move existing surveys into them for better organization.
Move a Single Survey
- Go to the feedback survey list.
- Find the survey you want to move.
- Click the More menu (often represented by three dots) next to the survey name.
- Select Move to folder.
- Choose the desired folder and confirm.
Move Multiple Surveys at Once
- In the survey table, check the boxes next to each survey you want to move.
- Use the bulk actions menu at the top of the table.
- Select Move to folder.
- Pick the appropriate folder.
- Apply the change to move all selected surveys at the same time.
Keep your Hubspot structure updated by moving newly created surveys into the right folder immediately after publishing or cloning them.
Filtering Surveys in Hubspot
Filters help you focus on a specific set of surveys based on attributes like status, type, or owner. This is especially useful when you have many surveys across multiple folders.
Common Filter Types
- Status: active, draft, closed, or paused surveys.
- Type: NPS, customer satisfaction, customer effort score, or custom feedback formats.
- Owner: survey creator or team owner.
- Date: creation date or last modification date.
How to Apply Filters
- From the survey dashboard, locate the filter bar above the table.
- Click on a filter type, such as Status or Owner.
- Select one or more values (for example, Active or a specific user).
- Combine multiple filters to narrow results even further.
Filters allow every Hubspot user on your team to quickly surface the subset of surveys relevant to them without changing folder structure.
Customizing Columns and Views in Hubspot
Custom columns and saved views help you see exactly the information that matters most when analyzing your survey list.
Editing Columns for the Survey Table
- Open the feedback survey list.
- Click the Actions or Edit columns option above the table.
- Select the columns you want to display, such as:
- Survey type
- Status
- Last updated date
- Number of responses
- Owner or team
- Reorder the columns by dragging them into the preferred sequence.
- Save the configuration to update your current view.
Saving Custom Views
In many Hubspot tools, including feedback surveys, you can save a customized view that preserves your filters and column selections.
- After setting your desired filters and columns, look for the Save view or similar option.
- Enter a descriptive name, such as Active NPS – Product Team.
- Choose whether the view is private, shared with a team, or visible to all users, depending on permission options.
- Save the view for easy access in the future from the view dropdown.
Using custom views lets different stakeholders in Hubspot quickly navigate to the survey sets and metrics that matter to them.
