About Submitting a Product Idea

Did you know that you can have an impact on the Qualtrics product? You can leave feature requests for our product team to consider when planning the future roadmap!

As of October 1, 2019, how you file a feature request has changed. We require that you login to Qualtrics XM Community with your Qualtrics account credentials to post a feature request (idea) in the Product Ideas category. To learn more about this process, review the announcements found in the Ideation Guidelines subcategory of Product Ideas on the community.
