About the Get Survey Definition Task
The Get Survey Definition task allows you to retrieve the survey definition from any survey. This makes the full survey structure and content, including questions and embedded data fields, available for use in later tasks in the workflow. For example, you can set up a custom response report using content from the survey definition.
Qtip: This task only returns information about the design of the survey and does not include details about how respondents answered the questions in your survey.
Attention: This task uses the Get Survey API endpoint and will count towards your brand’s API request limits.
