OneDesk’s customer success surveys allow you to assess your customer support team’s level of support. These surveys are sent out by email to the customer once a ticket has been closed. The customer can then rate the service as negative or positive and leave a comment about their experience.
You will be able to activate customer satisfaction surveys on an item-level. That means for every item type you have enabled, you can create an automation that sends out an email survey for your customers to review the support they received. All users who were assigned to provide support on that item will receive the given rating.
Note: If you have been an existing OneDesk user as of April 25th, you will have to activate the survey manually. Please see the steps below. New users of OneDesk who sign up on April 26th and later will have surveys automatically activated.
