How to import your VAN Survey Questions


This ThruTalk guide will review how you can map your script using VAN survey questions imported from your VAN instance. Importing questions at script creation will allow you to add your VAN survey questions and answers directly into ThruTalk scripts as script questions.

Step 1:

To begin creating your VAN integrated script ("VAN Script" for short,) select your committee (MyVoters or MyCampaign) that your list(s) reside in from the "Create New Script" drop-down and choose a name for your script.
