If a participant fills out the entire survey, you will tally up 3 responses. All slide types count equally, so a question response counts the same as a short answer which is the same as an email capture etc... Slides that don't ask anything — copy slides, thank you slides, reward slides, and action slides — don't count towards your total. ### Responses and submissions You'll see two different words on your dashboard. Here's what each one means: * **Responses** — one question answered by one participant. This is the number your plan limit applies to. * **Submissions** — one participant taking your survey. A single submission can produce many responses, one for each question they answer. A 3 question survey completed by 10 participants would show **10 submissions** and **30 responses**. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.zigpoll.com/subscription-plans/how-we-calculate-requests.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
