Issue Symptoms
Satisfaction surveys are not being sent after tickets are solved.
Resolution Steps
The customer satisfaction survey is sent through an automation. Find below some troubleshooting steps that help you figure out why a survey wasn't sent.
- Go to Admin Center > People > Configuration > End users. Select the Satisfaction tab, then under the Satisfaction rating make sure the option to Allow customers to rate tickets is checked.
- In Admin Center, navigate to Objects and rules > Business rules > Automations. Verify the Request Customer Satisfaction Rating automation is enabled. If not enabled, simply head to your Inactive Automations > hover over the Request Customer Satisfaction Rating > click the options menu (
) > Activate.
- The automation doesn't run if the ticket status is Closed. Ensure that the Close ticket 4 days after status is set to solved automation doesn't fire before the Request Customer Satisfaction Rating (system automation) automation. The number of hours since solved for Request customer satisfaction rating (system automation) needs to be less than the number of hours since solved for Close ticket 4 days after status is set to solved.
- In the Request Customer Satisfaction Rating (system automation) automation, the condition Ticket: Satisfaction | is | Unoffered needs to be included in Meet all of the following conditions, and Ticket: Satisfaction > Offered to requester needs to be included in the Actions.
Note: If your account does not have custom ticket statuses activated, the default automations use the condition Status instead of Status category.

How can we increase the Survey count. We see multiple surveys sent to the partner. However, we don't see anyone responding to them. Can we have a trigger for the same to notify the partners to fill the surveys?

Hello Rohit,
To set up a trigger for CSAT notifications, you can do so with the following guide: Sending CSAT's when tickets get solved. Furthermore, if you would like to adjust the automation where the CSAT has already been configured with, you can find more info here: Customizing your customer satisfaction survey.

Hello Wilfred:
Thank you for your response. I have set up a trigger to Increase the C-SAT Frequency. Could you validate this?
I want surveys for all the tickets that are moved to a solved state.

Hi Rohit,
Looks great! You can also review the ticket events to check to see that the trigger has fired, but what you have set-up should do the trick.

Yes, this is possible! If you have an automation that closes / solves ticket "X" days after status is set to pending. You can add an action to add a tag such as "no_csat" to tickets that are solved via that automation and then add a condition to your CSAT automation to not fire on ticket with "no_csat"
I hope this helps. Thank you!

Can CSAT be sent to CLOSED tickets?

CSATs cannot be sent on Closed tickets. The ticket would need to be at least in Solved status for the automation to fire and send out the survey.
Hope this clears up any confusion.
Thanks!

Is it possible to answer the survey once the ticket is closed? Survey is sent once the ticket is solved but can user answer it if the ticket is closed?

Unfortunately, closed tickets are locked. They can't be reopened or updated in any way. So when ticket gets closed they can no longer be surveyed.

Does a trigger have to be created to send a CSAT survey or can we just use automations?

You can only use Automations when sending CSAT. For more information, please see: About CSAT (Customer Satisfaction) ratings in Zendesk Support
