Contacts | Startquestion Help Center

A contact is a record in a user’s database that contains at least an email address and is not associated with any survey in the account.

To add a contact to the survey, create a respondent. A respondent constitutes an association of a contact’s entity with a survey.

Neither contacts nor respondents have to be unique within a user account.

Operations on respondents can be found in the next section called ‘Respondents’
