SurveyMonkey Bulk Response Tagger

WHAT IT DOES

SurveyMonkey Bulk Response Tagger lets you tag multiple survey responses at once. Instead of opening each response individually, clicking the tag field, selecting tags, and saving — repeating this for every single response — this tool provides a unified checklist of all responses on the current page. You can filter responses by respondent ID, completion date, status, or custom data to quickly find your target group. Select any number of responses using checkboxes, choose one or more tags from the tag selection list, and click Apply. The tool then automatically processes each selected response — opening the edit modal, adding or removing the chosen tags, and saving the changes. You can toggle between "Add tags" and "Remove instead" modes to either apply tags to responses or strip them away. This turns what could be dozens of manual operations into a single batch action, making survey data organization, segmentation, and analysis significantly faster and more accurate.

WHERE IT RUNS

This script runs exclusively on the SurveyMonkey web application in your browser. It activates on the response list page, results dashboard, and analyze view where response data is displayed. It requires the BotGentz extension to inject and execute the script. The tool does not work on SurveyMonkey's mobile app, embeddable surveys, or any third-party wrappers — only the admin dashboard accessed through a Chromium-based or Firefox browser. It specifically targets pages under *.surveymonkey.com, including the main SurveyMonkey dashboard and organization-specific subdomains.

HOW TO USE

After installing the script via BotGentz, log in to your SurveyMonkey dashboard and navigate to the Responses page for a specific survey. The tool automatically detects the response list and displays a floating panel on the right side. The panel shows all responses visible on the current page, with checkboxes next to each response entry. Each response displays its respondent ID, completion date, status, custom data, and any existing tags. Use the search box to filter by ID, status, or custom data to narrow down your selection. Check the boxes for every response you want to tag. Below the response list, select one or more tags from the tag selection area — this loads available tags from your SurveyMonkey account. Use the toggle switch to choose whether you want to "Add" tags (default) or "Remove instead" to strip tags from responses. Click "Apply Tags" and the tool will process each selected response one by one — opening the edit modal, applying the selected tags based on your chosen operation, and saving the changes. A status message appears when the operation completes, showing how many responses were successfully updated.

THE ACTUAL MECHANISM — WHY IT WORKS

SurveyMonkey's admin interface is built with React and uses a component-based rendering system for its response management. The response list is rendered as table rows or list items, each containing response metadata and action buttons. This tool scans the DOM for response items using multiple selector patterns that SurveyMonkey consistently uses across versions. For each response, it extracts the respondent ID, completion date, status, custom data, and existing tags from the visible text content, and assigns a unique identifier from data attributes. When updating tags, the tool locates the edit button within each response item or triggers the action menu to open SurveyMonkey's edit modal. The modal contains a tag input or tag selection area where tags can be added or removed. The tool identifies tag checkboxes or toggle items and uses React-friendly event dispatching — setting values via the native setter and dispatching both "input" and "change" events to ensure React registers the updates. The tool then clicks the modal's save/confirm button, waits for the modal to close, and proceeds to the next response. This approach works without making direct API calls, which would require authentication tokens and knowledge of SurveyMonkey's internal API structure. By using the existing UI, the tool works within SurveyMonkey's own permission and validation system, and continues to function even if the underlying API changes.

THE PANEL

The floating panel is fully draggable — click and drag the header to reposition it anywhere on the page. The panel's position is saved per site in localStorage, so it reappears exactly where you left it when you return to the responses page. Double-click the header to snap the panel to the nearest edge (left or right). A collapse button minimizes the panel to a small tab showing a tag emoji badge, keeping it out of the way while still accessible. The response list inside the panel is scrollable and resizes vertically based on the number of responses. Pressing Escape while the panel is focused closes it completely; reopening is done via a small button injected near the page header (visible only on responses pages). All panel interactions are non-blocking — SurveyMonkey's main UI remains fully responsive while the panel is open, and the panel updates automatically when you navigate between surveys or pages.

PLEASE NOTE

This script requires the BotGentz extension (free) to run user scripts on SurveyMonkey. SurveyMonkey frequently updates its web interface and modal structures; if the tool stops working, check for an updated version within BotGentz's script repository. This tool does not store, transmit, or log any response data, tag information, or metadata — all operations occur locally in your browser with no external network requests except those made by SurveyMonkey itself. Tag updates are applied through SurveyMonkey's own UI event system, so all changes respect your account's permission settings and tag limits. The tool does not bypass SurveyMonkey's permission system or data integrity rules; it simply automates the clicks you would otherwise perform manually. For very large response lists with dozens or hundreds of entries, the tool may take several minutes to complete the operation, as each response is processed sequentially with delays to avoid overwhelming the UI. A progress indicator shows which response is currently being processed. Always double-check your selections and tag choices before applying changes, as bulk tag operations are irreversible through this tool (though SurveyMonkey's UI allows manual reverts). The tool only affects responses visible on the current page; to tag all responses, use SurveyMonkey's built-in pagination controls or adjust your filters to show all relevant responses. This tool is designed for batch tagging — applying the same set of tags across multiple responses simultaneously. It is not designed for making unique, response-specific tag changes. Tags are a powerful way to segment and analyze survey data, and this tool makes that process significantly more efficient.
