Allow admins to delete satisfaction ratings

Not Planned


Posted Mar 16, 2021

Admins should have the ability to delete csat scores that are deemed invalid or do not reflect the quality of support provided. For example, our customers will sometimes leave a bad satisfaction score because they are frustrated with a vendor we are partnered with rather than with the agent's support. Even if we delete these tickets, the agent's satisfaction scores are still affected by the rating on the deleted ticket. It would help us a lot if admins could just delete these ratings or if when the tickets were deleted, the ratings were also deleted.

Hi everyone,

We are currently working on a new CSAT experience. It includes a more flexible CSAT scale and ability to reword the questions. Multiple questions are also on our roadmap. Although we don't have a direct solution to the described problem, we believe a new experience will help to eliminate it.

Indeed this has been an issue. I manage a team of customer support specialists and they have raised this issue several times.

There should be a possibility to delete a bad CSAT that is not merited by the support specialist.

Is there already a way around this? How can we delete a bad CSAT and remove the effect from agents report?

14


This is a definite issue since CSAT ratings are often used when evaluating how an Agent is performing.  Other case tracking I've used di allow Admins to adjust ratings in situations where the customer miss-clicked.   Zendesk should have some sort of avenue for Admins to take with this.

I support this request as it is very annoying for agents doing a good job having a false negative rating when the customer clicked wrong or did not read the answer or rate the company if there is a feature missing but not rating the answer of the agent.
Especially if you use the CSAT as KPI and measure the performance this is not good.

So let's not only care for customers satisfaction but also for agents satisfaction.

This would be very helpful!

I agree. We receive bad ratings from users who close the issue before an agent can respond, then remark that they have not been answered. I've set up a condition in the CSat automation to stop this, but I'd like to delete the previous negative ratings before I caught the issue.

I'd like to request this feature as well.  I had a customer choose a negative rating on accident, and it's totally skewing one of our support engineer's ratings.  There isn't an easy or good way to get rid of this erroneous rating.  It feels like an admin should just be able to delete it?

9


I'd like to request this feature as well.  We have lots of spam-like emails and these get ratings from dissatisfied requesters, but these should have no bearing on the agent.   It feels like an admin should just be able to delete it?

8


I echo these sentiments.  We receive quite a few spam chats; and there are instances where the agent provides excellent service, but the customer is dissatisfied with something completely out of the agent's control. These instances should not count against my team.

I take it by the lack of,,,err ZERO response from Zendesk this is a feature they are NOT entertaining with pursuing.  Another fail.... And one would think all the money we are charged we would want to have this simple feature so companies can report of pure CSAT and not false metrics... SMH...

psugumar87 why are ya'll sleeping on this?

Up to this!

How is it even possible to not consider this?!

Last week we received a spam email and one of our agents closed the ticket without answering (we all know we don't answer spams). The spammer received the CSAT inquiry and gave a bad score and now I can't delete it?..

I have plenty of this in my department, please consider giving the admins (or at least the owner of the account) the possibility to do this!

It would be very helpful and more accurate to allow an admin to remove bad ratings which are clearly not applicable. It skews the actual analysis of agent and team overall performance.

Hi Zendesk, Any updates on this? 

8


Hi Zendesk, I'd like to request this feature as well.

As a Manager and Admin, I too would also like to be able to delete bad csat feedback when we deem it invalid.

8


Admin any updates on this?

psugumar87 Looking at these comments it sounds like a lot of your customers would really appreciate the addition of this very simple feature..

psugumar87 this is very problematic!

Hey Everyone, I'm one of the Product Managers here at Zendesk. Thank you all for sharing your feedback and your thoughts on this area. So far we don't have anything planned to address this in the roadmap over the next 9 months. We do regularly revisit and reassess based on your input, and update our roadmap plans once a quarter. If this becomes something that bubbles up to become a priority then we'll be sure to update this thread.

This has been an issue for quite some time. I find myself having to manually calculate CSAT because I cannot delete invalid CSAT. I also have to explain to senior leadership when I share my dashboards why CSAT is incorrect and why the manual score is accurate.

Would LOVE to see this feature.

It's dishearting for agents to receive negative reviews that do not reflect the quality of service provided, as performance-based incentives often depend on CSAT data.  It is crucial that we have the ability in software to calculate these scores.  Disappointing to hear that it isn't on the roadmap for the next nine months or that this hasn't been considered internally at Zendesk. 

7


By not having this feature service reps are disadvantaged from getting an accurate CSAT.  Fake/spam ratings don't help anyone.

6


I agree, I think Zendesk should seriously consider this feature sooner than post 9 months.  My management is frustrated that we can't get rid of erroneous scores and it's to the point where they might start considering other platforms.  Our service reps are also disheartened b/c every time they log in they see their score and if it's falsely low that's not good for morale.

Hello 👋 It is totally understandable that you would like Zendesk to support this natively. However, there are some third-party solutions that provide this function, including Nicereply. In Nicereply, you can edit or delete the rating value completely. If you'd like to learn more about third-party survey solutions in Zendeks let me know!

It does not enstill confidence in the ZD product when we have to state, yet again,  "that the CSAT you are seeing is not an accurate representation"  of what is taking place.  

We utilize ZD with various integrations to other systems and it causes too much manual work to correct downstream services/reports that have bad data from an invalid CSAT that ZD calculates without the ability to delete erroneous satisfaction results.

27 Businesses that have gone through the effort of creating an account to post wanting this, we have to wait 9 months for another update? 

That seems a bit short-sighted.

I whole heatedly agree with this request and all the comments posted here. Until Zendesk implements a way to do this, an interim solution here might be to filter out the tickets that you designate in some fashion and make your own CSAT calculation. There's a default "Report" in Explore called "Satisfaction: Satisfaction score [default]" and it looks like this:

If you go to your ticket and mark it in some fashion, like say with a tag or a custom field, you can filter out the ticket data from the calculation by using the Add button at the top of the filter row, add your field, and then choose the Excluded tab and mark your thing. Just don't forget that Explore is an hour behind if you do this filter trick and expect a live change.

We need this as well

Adding another idea below

Trigger - > Admin Center
Agent Marked the chat with Category X 
Action: Remove Satisfaction rating.

This will benefit my QA team as well and in general Csat.
