Quick start: Questionnaire Automation
Questionnaire Automation helps you respond to security questionnaires and RFPs faster by using ConveyorAI to draft answers. Teams typically see a two‑to‑three‑fold reduction in turnaround time - so you can spend less time copying and pasting and more time closing deals.
Follow these steps to get started:
- Feed Conveyor your docs and knowledge
- Queue up your first questionnaire
- Try the Conveyor browser extension for portals
- Try out a one-off search
1. Upload your docs and Q&As
Give ConveyorAI something to start working with by adding a few core documents and your most common question‑and‑answer pairs.
We recommend about 5–10 key documents (like your SOC2, policies and procedures overviews, etc.) and roughly 400 Q&As. That number might sound high, but you can start with fewer - every question you add today saves time on each future questionnaire. Pull from past questionnaires and internal FAQs, then build up over time.
In the left-hand navigation you will see the Knowledge section:
- Go to Documents and upload your files (see Adding New Documents for more details)
- Go to Knowledge Base and add Q&A pairs (see Adding Question and Answer Pairs for more details)
💁 Tip: If you have multiple products, using Product Lines can keep ConveyorAI's answers relevant.

2. Add your first questionnaire
Once your library is in place, you're ready to get started!
- Head over to Security Questionnaires → Workspace in the left-hand nav
- Click "Add Questionnaire" (see Adding a questionnaire). We recommend starting out with Excel-based formats first.
ConveyorAI will populate draft answers using the content you've provided - review and make changes if necessary.
No questionnaires on hand?
Lucky you, 😉 Here’s a sample one for testing!
3. Try the Conveyor browser extension for portal questionnaires
Got a questionnaire in a third party portal like OneTrust?
- Download Conveyor's browser extension (see our browser extension documentation for more details)
- Open the extension in that portal and let it do the work for you - no copy and paste necessary.
4. Try out a one-off search
Need a quick answer? Conveyor isn’t just for questionnaires.
From any page in the app, use the cmd+k
or ctrl+k
keyboard shortcut to open the Search.
You can also use the browser extension for one-off searches. This is especially useful for emailed questions. Open search, enter a question or keyword, click a result, then choose "Yes, copy this answer" to quickly respond.
Does your team live in Slack?
You can also install our integration to run searches directly from Slack.
That's it!
You're ready to use Conveyor to knock out security questions and questionnaires.
