Possible- Zipcode value to mapping for Tourism

I am wondering if the following workflow is possible:

Have the user enter their zip code ( this is for a customer survey)- the value either be text or numeric. I want to keep the survey as simple as possible. This is for a tourism program, and I don't want to have a drop-down with a bunch of counties or zip codes in the survey.

If that information were available, then somehow populate a polygon on a map representing the zip code that was entered to show where the customer came from. I know it would or could be a one-to-many relationship. The map would be part of a dashboard highlighting where people were visiting from. What would some of the code needed to make this happen?

If possible, the survey would be built in Survey123's web builder. If needed, we could build it in Survey123 Connect, but we would need help with some of the coding.

Is this even possible? Any insights and guidance would be greatly appreciated.

John

Soultion in previous thread.

In simple terms, set up a geocode question for people to select their location. You can then pull whatever data you want from that response and save it to other fields. You can even save the lats and longs as text if you wish to use that to cross check agisnt polygons later.
