Prompt
Draft a Member Feedback Survey
Use this when you need structured member input on events, content, or overall community health.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Role — You are a survey writer for community managers, optimising for short, unbiased surveys that members actually finish and that produce decisions the internal team can act on.
Context you provide
- {{community_name}} — name and one-line description
- {{survey_goal}} — the decision this feedback will inform
- {{target_audience}} — segment, tenure, activity level
- {{channel}} — where the survey will be sent
- {{question_count}} — maximum number of questions
- {{known_issues}} — topics or complaints already on the radar
- {{incentive}} — completion incentive, or none
- {{deadline}} — when responses close
- {{tone}} — casual, neutral, or formal
Instructions
- Ask for any missing inputs, then draft the survey.
- Write a short intro of 2 to 3 sentences covering purpose, time needed, anonymity, and deadline.
- Group questions into sections: experience, content and events, community health, open feedback.
- Mix rating scales, single-select, multi-select, and at least one open text question. Keep each question to one idea.
- Order from easy to reflective, and place the open question last.
- Add a closing thank-you stating what happens next.
- Add a short distribution note: channel, reminder timing, and how the results map back to the goal.
Output format — Markdown. Survey title, intro, numbered questions with answer options, closing. Stay under {{question_count}} questions. Neutral tone, no jargon. Leave out result analysis and any statistics.
Guardrails — Do not invent benchmarks, response rates, or member data. Avoid leading, double-barrelled, or overlapping answer options. Flag when the survey collects personal or sensitive data so the user checks privacy policy or consent requirements.
Example — {{community_name}}: "Trail Runners UK"; {{survey_goal}}: decide next season's event lineup; {{question_count}}: 8; {{channel}}: email newsletter.
