Set up a recurring employee pulse in one afternoon
Annual surveys photograph a mood twelve months late. Teams that tried weekly pulses usually drowned in tool setup or spreadsheet stitching by week three.
The short way: One standing pulse link with a weekly answer cadence — the same three questions, any week one date filter away, zero per-week admin.

A monthly team retrospective pulse: delivery confidence, workload, and blockers.
Burnout Risk Check-in
Human Resources
An anonymous early-warning read on exhaustion, detachment, and recovery.
Employee Net Promoter Score (eNPS)

The monthly loyalty pulse, cut by tenure and flight risk rather than one flat score.
Type this — that’s the whole job
“A three-question weekly pulse: workload this week, one thing that went well, one thing that got in the way”

No setup, no tutorial. The words above go with you — review what the AI builds, then share the link.
How it works — three steps
- 1
Describe the rhythm you want; the AI keeps the pulse deliberately tiny.
- 2
Set the collector to once-per-week responses — same link forever.
- 3
Post the link in your team channel each Friday, or let a scheduled message do it.
What’s doing the work
Periodic responses
One completed pulse per person per week from the same link — no reissuing, no duplicate storms.
Date filtersPro
This week against any earlier one — the same summary, filtered to each.
Act rules
A workload score of 5/5 can quietly email you the same day. On an anonymous pulse the email says what was answered, never who — but in a small team a same-day alert can still point to one person, so there use the once-a-day response alert on the Collect tab instead.
Questions people ask
What cadence works for pulses?
Weekly for teams in flux (reorgs, crunch), monthly as a steady state. The once-per-period setting enforces whichever you choose.
Three questions — really?
Really. Pulses die of length: a three-question pulse takes under a minute, which is what keeps people answering week after week.
