Would you like to know how men aged from 30 to 39 answered your poll? Export only the completed forms to Excel? Or draw a prize among participants who got all the right answers to your quiz? It's now possible using Search Filters.
We are pleased to announce you can now make contests directly from your Facebook Page Timeline. You simply ask a question and followers enter the giveaway by commenting the post. The application parses the comments and compiles all the answers. You can draw a winner and export all the answers to Excel like in a regular form contest.
