[Getting Started](https://help.engagedly.com/butterfly-ei?hsLang=en#getting-started) # Introduction to Butterfly EI Butterfly EI is Engagedly’s employee engagement and continuous listening application. It helps organizations gather frequent, anonymous employee feedback, understand workforce sentiment, and identify opportunities to improve the employee experience. Butterfly EI provides a range of survey types and feedback tools to help organizations gather employee feedback at different stages of the employee lifecycle. You can use **Pulse** surveys to monitor engagement regularly, **Instant Feedback** to gather input from employees on specific topics or share timely notifications, **Nurture** surveys to capture feedback at key employee lifecycle milestones, **Yearly** surveys for comprehensive engagement assessments, and **Exit Surveys** to understand employees’ experiences when they leave the organization. Unlike other survey types, which are managed at the organization level, any manager with access to Butterfly EI can create **Instant** **Feedback**. It is designed for one-time, timely feedback or communication rather than recurring surveys. Survey results are **anonymous**, except for **Exit Surveys**. You can also gather additional feedback through follow-up feedback surveys and continue conversations by replying to comments. Butterfly EI also supports multiple ways to deliver surveys, including email, SMS, mobile devices, and kiosk links. Kiosk links provide an alternative way for frontline employees who may not have access to email to participate in surveys. You can distribute kiosk links through methods that work best for your workforce, such as QR codes or shared devices. For more information about the available modules and how they help you collect and act on employee feedback, refer to [Overview of Butterfly EI](https://help.engagedly.com/overview-of-butterfly-ei?hsLang=en). -
