Tailor Feedback Invitations

Align intercepts seamlessly with your brand. Precise control over size, shape, color, layout, and content โ€” no developer required.

Enhanced Design Flexibility

A structured element editor lets you compose text, images, and buttons with drag-and-drop control. Build layouts that fit any website, any brand.

Improves Critical Features

Responsiveness across screen sizes, improved translation accuracy, and built-in accessibility controls for global, compliant deployments.

Everything in one studio

A single unified editor replaces the disconnected Intercept + Creative model โ€” with live preview at every step.

True WYSIWYG canvas

Click directly into any element to edit. Three workspaces keep everything in reach: element tree, live canvas, and contextual configuration panel.

  • Drag-and-drop element hierarchy
  • Desktop & mobile preview toggle
  • Granular spacing, padding & margin controls
  • Overlay or inline display types

Strategic Framework

Beyond feedback โ€” Convert, Contain, Retain

Appearance Studio moves Qualtrics from "feedback only" into a full website action platform. The flexible editor unlocks use cases we couldn't compete for before.

CONVERT

Drive Revenue

Proactively grow the business with lead gen forms, cart abandonment offers, promotional banners, and multi-step quizzes. This is our new growth engine.

CONTAIN

Deflect Support Costs

Identify user frustration with DXA signals and deploy targeted Digital Agents to solve problems in real-time โ€” before a support ticket is opened.

RETAIN

Build Long-Term Loyalty

Surface systemic issues with VoC + DXA data and fix them at the root cause, improving the core experience and reducing churn over time.

Customer benefits

Cohesive, On-Brand Experience

Use drag-and-drop functionality to create a more cohesive, on-brand digital experience by tailoring the appearance of every feedback intercept.

Enhanced Engagement

Increase response rates by making feedback requests and elements feel like a natural, native part of your site โ€” not an intrusion.

New Use Cases Unlocked

Design and launch a variety of website calls to action โ€” webinar sign-ups, announcements, lead capture โ€” with full design flexibility.
