There are several ways to make a digital exit ticket. Here are two examples:
Use the zoom polling feature
https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/213756303-Polling-for-meetings
Zoom polls are already a part of the zoom platform which makes them easy to deploy and gives the opportunity to share results. They can be easily made ahead of the meeting and can be reused in different zoom meetings. The results are archived automatically and if they are set to be not anonymous you can view the answers by students for up to one month and also download the results to s spreadsheet.
Using Microsoft forms

Once you have logged on to office 365 or your email click on the box of 9 boxes in the upper left hand corner and select forms. You can provide a clickable link to the form in the chat of your zoom session. The results of the form will return in an excel document that can be stored in your one drive.
