Zoho Survey is integrated with Deluge, our online scripting language, which can help you add functions to automatically perform actions when responses are submitted. Use Deluge and APIs to create connections and push data to third-party services or other Zoho products, even if they aren't yet integrated with Zoho Survey. For example, you can set a trigger to create a support ticket in Zoho Desk when a bad review comes in, or send a thank you email every time a response is submitted.

The trigger function screen has the following components:

• Syntax: The scripts available on the left pane
• Editor: The Deluge editor where you add scripts to trigger actions
• Variables: The survey responses for each question to be used in the script, on the right pane
• Templates: The pre-written, ready-to-use code
• Logs: The log list for debugging purposes
• Connections: The connections that you would need to perform integrations within Zoho products
