How do I collect testimonials with Senja?
Senja lets you collect text, image, and video testimonials. Video testimonials are automatically transcribed so you can view them as text too.
Before, we also collected audio testimonials, but the end-users adoption was poor, so it's stopped.
This is applicable for all Senja plans: Free, Starter, and Pro.
Type of testimonials
Text: written testimonials from your customers, made up of words
Image: screengrabs or photos containing your customers' testimonials
Video: recorded testimonials that Senja automatically transcribes
Collection methods
Collection forms
Every Senja account includes a default testimonial collection form. Forms make it easy for customers to leave text, image, and video testimonials.
Once you've created a form, you can share it with customers.

Collecting video testimonials
Every collection method above works for video too. Here's where to start for each one:
Senja form: customers record or upload a video right in your form. To accept videos only, set your questions to Video, see How to set up questions and pages in Senja form
Auto-import: bring in new videos from other platforms automatically, see How to auto-import testimonials from other platforms (paid plans only)
Import from web: pull in videos from review sites and social platforms, see the Import from web guides
Bulk import: upload many at once from a CSV or XLSX file, see Can I import testimonials in bulk?
Video files you already have: upload them one by one, see How can I manually import video testimonials?
Senja transcribes every video automatically, so you get a text version too without asking customers to write anything. Once your videos are in, you can use them in widgets, emails, remix videos, and anywhere else in Senja.
