Is there a way to edit the HTML so the FirstQuestion logic is correctly parsed?
<html><body ... {% if FirstQuestion %} <p>We're running a survey and would love your input. Please let us know what you think below. Thanks for participating!</p> {% else %} ... {% endif %} ... {% if FirstQuestion %} <tr>;FirstQuestion]</tr> {% else %} ...{% endif %} ... >
Hi @mixelpix
Have you reviewed this help article about the supported question types and design requirements?

Have you reviewed this help article about the supported question types and design requirements?
Yep, it’s a multiple choice yes/no (see the borked html pic) and doesn’t use any prohibited Survey Design Requirements.
Embedding the first question works just fine when I send it directly from the SurveyMonkey website. It just doesn't work from Zapier’s Send Survey action.
Most of the design requirements aren’t even an option on the Standard plan I’m working with but given the API limits of the Standard plan maybe I need to upgrade to an annual plan?

That question is probably better suited for SurveyMoneky Support.
You can try opening a ticket with Zapier Support to see if they can offer any guidance: https://zapier.com/app/get-help
SurveyMonkey tech support says they do not offer HTML support, but did give me a working example formatted to appease Zapier.
Your mileage may vary, but this HTML is workable for the message body:
https://github.com/mixelpixel/Zapier-Javascript/blob/main/surveyMonkeyEmbedded1stQuestionZapier.html
From my testing it works for either multiple-choice questions or Star Ratings (NPS).
I tested sending it to macOS email, Outlook and GMail.
Both the HTML rendering looks good, and the answering behavior works as expected: answering the questions loads a web page with the rest of the survey & the answer to the first question carries over to the webpage.
Njoy!
