Microsoft Fabric is an end-to-end, AI-powered analytics platform from Microsoft that unifies data engineering, warehousing, and business intelligence in a single SaaS experience.
SurveySparrow’s integration with Microsoft Fabric automatically delivers survey responses into Fabric warehouses.
You can define precise conditional rules to sync only relevant responses. Pull in all historical data or limit to responses from a chosen date forward. New submissions appear in real time—no batch waits or manual triggers required.
This removes the hassle of repeated exports, custom scripts, or disconnected tools. Customer feedback integrates natively into the same governed, unified lake where your enterprise data already resides—ready for Power BI visuals, Spark processing, notebooks, pipelines, or Copilot-assisted insights.
Some valuable use cases include:
In this article, we’ll guide you step by step through linking your SurveySparrow account to Microsoft Fabric and setting up tailored response mappings.
1. Inside your SurveySparrow account, click on the settings icon.
2. Scroll down the left panel in the settings page till you see the Apps and Integrations option, then click on it.
3. Search for the Fabric integration using the search box (or scrolling through the integrations), then click on the toggle when you see it.
4. Next, in the setup screen you’ll need to enter your Azure AD Tenant ID.
Note: To find it, click on the profile icon and hover on the information icon near Tenant Name.
Then copy the tenant ID.
5. After entering the details back in SurveySparrow, click Save.
1. Open a survey and click on the Integrate/Configure tab.
2. Search for the Fabric integration using the search box (or by scrolling through the integrations). When it appears, click on the toggle.
3. When the integration setup screen opens, you must first select the destination in Fabric where the data is to go. Start by selecting the workspace. Click on the dropdown menu under Workspace and choose from the options.
4. Next, you must select the warehouse to which you want to push the survey data. Click on the dropdown under Warehouse and pick from the options.
5. Click on the drop-down under Schema and choose from the options.
6. Now you must select the table to which you want to push the survey data. But you can either choose an existing table from the dataset or create a new one. Click on the dropdown under Action to decide. Both actions have different flows. We’ll first start with an existing table.
7. Next click on the drop-down button under Table and select from the options.
8. By default, only new responses will be imported. If you want to import responses from a specific date, click on the toggle next to Response Import Settings.
9. When you hover over the Specific Date option, a calendar will appear. Choose a date, then click on Apply.
Note: You can also import all responses - existing and new, by clicking on the first option.
10. Click on Continue Mapping.
11. Now in the Mapping section, you need to configure which response properties are going to Fabric. First you can set conditions to decide which type of response gets synced to Fabric. Click on Set Conditions.
12. In the condition setting modal, you can set a conditional logic for the conditions: either any or all. The default setting is any, but if you’d like to change the logic, click on the drop-down next to it.
13. To add conditions, click on Add Group.
14. Choose a category of data from the drop-down menu to which the condition must apply. For this instance, let’s go with a question.
15. Choose a particular item from that category, in this instance a question.
16. Click on Choose Condition to start defining the condition.
17. A list of comparison operators appears, choose one.
18. Input a value for the data to be tested against and then click Apply.
19. You can turn a condition into a group of conditions by hovering near it and then clicking on the plus icon that appears to the right. Repeat the same steps as above to create another condition.
20. Within a group of conditions you can set conditional logic: and/or. The default is and, but if you’d like to change it, click on the drop-down.
21. Click on Add Group to add more conditions/condition groups. When you’re done, click Save.
22. The first step of creating a mapping is to first map a response property to the SUBMISSION_ID field in Fabric. This is mandatory. The default property type is a question, but you can change it by clicking on the drop-down and choosing from the options.
23. Next, you must choose a particular item of that property type that you’ve already created for the survey. Click on the drop-down menu under SurveySparrow Field and choose from the options.
24. If a particular response has no data for the chosen property, the Fabric field will remain empty. But you can choose to fill in a default value that will be filled in as a substitute for such situations.
25. To add more mapping fields, click on New mapping field.
26. When you’re done, click on Save Mapping.
27. Create a name for the mapping, then click on Save Mapping.
28. After the mapping is saved, you’ll be taken to a screen where you can access all saved mappings. To review the mapping configuration, click on the mapping.
29. The mapping tab expands to show you its settings. If you’d like to modify it, click on the ‘Edit….’ button.
30. To pause the mapping, click on the green toggle button.
Note: Any responses that come in while the mapping is paused will not be synced to Fabric later.
31. To delete the mapping, click on the vertical three-dot icon, then click on Delete.
32. Click on Confirm to proceed.
33. Click on New Mapping to add another mapping.
34. Now let’s explore the other set of steps to create a new table for mappings. Once you’re selected Create New Table as your action, enter a table name and click on Continue Mapping.
35. In the mapping section, the default option is to send all the response data. You can see all the response properties and their quantities. But if you want to be selective, click the button next to Send Selected data.
36. You will be shown a series of tabs for each response property. Each tab will have a list of items for that particular property. Click on the checkboxes of the items you want to import to Fabric. Navigate through the respective tabs and select the ones you want. You can also use the search box to find items.
37. When you’re done, click on Save Mapping.
38. Create a name for the mapping and click on Save Mapping.
And that’s it, you’re good to go!
