SurveyMonkey + Maxna
SurveyMonkey + Maxna Fraud Detection
SurveyMonkey collectors are easy to leak. If the collector URL is public, farms will find it. Maxna’s job is to be the only public entry, with SurveyMonkey as the destination after a pass.
Other platforms score the respondent. Maxna scores the respondent and the response.
Device IDs, bots, VPNs, and duplicates are necessary. They are not enough. A real device can still paste ChatGPT into every open-end. Maxna's proprietary AI grades what people type - so sample integrity is both who they are and what they say.
Respondent quality
Where most tools stop
- Device fingerprinting and environment risk
- Bots, scripts, and click farms
- VPN / proxy and geo mismatch
- Duplicates and professional respondents
Response quality
Maxna's proprietary AI layer
- AI-written and synthetic open-ends
- Low-effort and copy-paste answers
- Cross-question consistency
- Open-end scoring before the complete is paid
Use for panel sample or a controlled list. Do not rely on SurveyMonkey collector restrictions as fraud detection.
Setup
How to add Maxna to SurveyMonkey
Redirect is the default. API is available when you create surveys programmatically. Status 11 = pass, 22 = fail in the browser.
1. Create Maxna project
Use a collector-specific qualified URL so you can rotate collectors without rebuilding Maxna.
2. Custom variables / URL parameters
Pass PID={trans_id} into SurveyMonkey so exports join to supplier files.
3. Hide the collector
Suppliers only receive the Maxna mainsurvey link.
4. Terminate with status=22
Keep failed traffic out of SurveyMonkey responses entirely.
Inbound
https://YOUR_SLUG.maxna.ai/mainsurvey/SURVEY_ID?PID=ABC123
Pass
https://YOUR-DOMAIN.com/complete?PID={trans_id}&status=11
Fail
https://YOUR-DOMAIN.com/complete?PID={trans_id}&status=22
Troubleshooting
When the hop misbehaves
Collector still filling with junk
The collector URL leaked (QR, email forward, prior wave). Close it and issue a new collector behind Maxna.
FAQ
SurveyMonkey questions
Does SurveyMonkey skip-logic replace Maxna?
No. Skip logic is questionnaire design. Maxna is sample integrity - including AI answers skip logic will happily store.
Other stacks
Same gate, different survey engine
Qualtrics + Maxna
Add Maxna survey fraud detection to Qualtrics with a redirect gate. Pass PID through, receive status=11 or 22, and keep AI response scoring in front of the questionnaire.
Forsta / Decipher + Maxna
Put Maxna in front of Forsta (Decipher) surveys. Redirect sample through respondent and response quality checks, then continue with status 11/22.
Alchemer + Maxna
Add Maxna in front of Alchemer surveys. Redirect traffic through respondent quality and AI response scoring before the Alchemer response is created.
Router and API detail also lives in the custom router guide.

Most teams go live on redirect in hours, then turn on response-quality AI for verbatim-critical work.
