SurveySense: AI Open-Text Survey Coder & Theme Tagger

SurveySense: AI Open-Text Survey Coder & Theme Tagger ships as a ready-to-import n8n automation package: load the bundled workflow JSON, connect the credentials listed on this page, and activate it on self-hosted n8n or n8n Cloud.

Stop hand-coding open-ended survey responses: AI designs a coding scheme from your data, tags every response with codes and sentiment, and emails a top-themes digest with example quotes.

Design a coding scheme automatically from a sample of your open-ended responses, no qual-methods training needed
Code every new response with one or more themes plus a sentiment label in a single batched AI pass
Write the codes straight back into the Google Sheet you already collect responses in
Log every generated coding scheme to a Themes tab for an auditable research trail
Never recode the same response twice: already-coded rows are automatically skipped on the next run
Get an emailed digest of the top themes with real example quotes and the sentiment split
Replace a $99+/mo qualitative-analysis seat license with a one-time template you own

FAQ

About this template

How long does it take to set up SurveySense: AI Open-Text Survey Coder & Theme Tagger?

Most people finish in minutes following the guide. If you’ve never used n8n before, budget an hour — the first workflow is always the slowest.

What if I get stuck?

Email support@n8ntemplatestore.com. Free basic support is included with every purchase, and you’ll get a reply from our team within 24 hours. If setup needs more than email, we can schedule a call.

Do I need to pay for Google Sheets?

API costs are separate and go directly to the provider — typically a few dollars a month at most for a solo business. Full breakdown is in the setup guide.

Can I customize the workflow?

Yes, completely. You own the .json — edit nodes, swap in your own prompts, re-wire the logic. Our support team can help you plan customizations over email.

What if it doesn’t work for me?

Refunds are issued only as described in our Refund Policy (https://n8ntemplatestore.com/refund-policy). Or add Setup Service at checkout for a live install and test session — pick any tier you prefer.
