Responses & Analytics

Track, view, and analyse form submissions from your dashboard.

Viewing Responses

Response List

1. Go to Dashboard → click a form → Responses tab.
2. You'll see a table of all submissions with:
3. Submission timestamp
4. Key field values (preview columns)
5. Status indicator

Individual Response Detail

Click any row to view the full submission:

• All field values displayed clearly
• File download links (for file upload fields)
• Payment status (if payments are enabled)
• Submission metadata:
• Date and time submitted
• Time taken to complete
• Sections visited
• User agent / browser info

Submission Metadata

Drift automatically captures metadata with each submission:

Metadata	Description
Timestamp	When the form was submitted
Time to Complete	How long the respondent spent on the form
Sections Visited	Which sections the respondent saw (for multi-section forms)
User Agent	Browser and device information
IP Address	Respondent's IP address

Analytics

Overview Metrics

The analytics tab shows:

• Total Responses — all-time submission count
• Responses per Day — a 30-day bar chart showing daily submission volume
• Date Range Filter — narrow analytics to a specific time period

Field-Level Analytics

For each field, Drift shows:

• Response Rate — percentage of respondents who answered this field
• Distribution — for choice fields (radio, dropdown, checkboxes), see how answers are distributed across options
• Most/Least Answered — identify which questions respondents engage with or skip

Trend Sparklines

Small sparkline charts appear on the dashboard and forms list, giving you an at-a-glance view of response activity over the last 7–14 days.

AI Insights (Pro)

On the Pro plan, Drift uses AI to analyse your responses and surface insights:

• Themes — common patterns and topics across free-text answers
• Anomalies — unusual responses or spikes in activity
• Trends — how responses are changing over time
• Summaries — plain-English overviews of your data

Access AI insights from the Analytics tab on any form.

Exporting Data

Export your responses for offline analysis:

• CSV — comma-separated values for spreadsheets
• Excel — native .xlsx format

Exports include all field values plus submission metadata.

Spam Protection

Drift includes built-in honeypot protection to filter bot submissions. Suspected bot submissions are silently discarded and don't appear in your response list.

Response Limits

Response limits depend on your plan:

Plan	Responses/Month
Free	50
Pro	10,000
Enterprise	Unlimited

When you reach your limit, forms stop accepting new responses until the next billing period. You'll see a notification on your dashboard when you're approaching the limit.
