We've recently made some modifications to our C-Sat automation.

 

This is how the new email looks...

Want to know how?

 

  1.  If you haven't already - activate 'Customer satisfaction surveys' (info here)
  2. Download the smileys below and upload these as assets to your helpcenter (or host them elsewhere) 

     

  3. Navigate to Settings > Automations - and locate the 'Request customer satisfaction rating' automation
  4. Select to Edit this
  5. Change the notification to requester with the info below - don't forget to substitute your image location.

How did I miss this!? And why am I not surprised that this tip is from you!? :)

Love it. Thanks!

Thanks Jen and Jessie.

I'd really love to add a 'meh' face too... but there is no neutral c-sat option. Considered linking this to a negative - and might do yet, because if we aim to be great, 'Meh' is a total failure.

This is still working really good for us.  Getting more responses than we ever got with the original C-SAT, and the questions are really more in line with what really counts - how our customer is feeling about us.

Great to hear that responses are up, Andrew! I guess people like those smiley and frowny faces. So easy.

Awesome stuff, Andrew! I've passed this on to our design team so we can get up our own customized version :)

Hello Andrea - long time no hear!  Thanks for your comment - it's great to get some feedback.  Let us know how yours work out.

Hey, another advantage - you don't have to translate a smile!

Looks great. Out of curiosity, how to do you handle cases were the user hasn't downloaded the pictures because of their email client settings?

Hello Lester,  I don't think it works well for that... got any suggestions for changes?

September 16, 2016

Sadly not. Beyond some way of showing the links in place of the images I don’t think there is an elegant solution

I love this tip! We did this of our own accord about 18 months or so back and saw an instant uptick in our response rate.
