    Hi, you can send a proactive outbound via SMS or email for CSAT after call ends.

    An option is to use Zendesk Talk native solution and then use a third-party product only for collecting the post call survey. When the call is coming to an end, the agent could simply forward the call to an external number. Here is an example of how to do it.

    Definitely interested in this.  Something immediately after the call where the customers stays on the line for a quick CSAT survey.  I know that it can be accomplished via email or SMS but preference would be to offer the CSAT in the channel the customer chose and not all call from an SMS enabled line.

    Are there any integrated CSAT apps that provide an in phone CSAT survey solution? 

    It's very surprising that Zendesk doesn't have this feature when Freshdesk does.

    Hi Brandon,

    I've actually really been thinking about how to do this - and we at helphouse came up with an idea on how to do this with texts instead!

    Let me know if you could be interested in hearing any further about this, and then we could set up a meeting regarding this?

    Hi there,

    You can configure an automation in this case if you know the customers e-mail-adress from another conversation or from another source such as your CRM.

    Please make sure that your privacy policies are compliant with such an approach. But from a technical point of view it works fine.

    @... - got it to work! I had it typed as {{satisfaction.rating_url}} instead of satisfaction.rating.url}}.

    Really appreciate this tip!

    We too have a gap in CSAT reporting. It would be nice to have the ability to have a CSAT option at the end of the call as we do not always collect an email address during the call

    Hey Forrest Gamba

    No worries!  Confirming that the telephonic survey is not currently an option for Zendesk Talk, but can be implemented with 3rd party Talk Partners.  Alternatively, the c-sat for email would work once the ticket is solved.  It can be enabled under end-user configuration in the admin center, at which point the automation will appear under business rules.  The requirement is that the user profile has both the phone number and email tied to it.  Hope this helps!

    That sounds about right!  As with any change I would recommend testing with a fake end-user first.

    Hi Forrest,

    You can create a new CSAT automation intended for Talk tickets. Clone the automation "Request customer satisfaction rating (System Automation)". Remove the condition "Privacy > Is > Ticket has public comments" and then add the condition "Channel Is Phone call (incoming)". This automation will not require adding a public comment in the ticket to work.

    Thanks,
    Christine

    Hi Louise,

     

    Thanks for reaching out.  While that idea sounds good in theory - most of our end-users are contacting us through office lines, so a text doesn't make sense in this use-case.  Maybe someone else will benefit from this project though, so keep up the good work!

    Hi @...,

    We actually use this for accounts where the email address is known, but it would be a nice tie-in for phone call only operations.

    Hi @...

    There is a way by combining a new ticket field (send SMS for ex.), an automation and a trigger:

    Automation

     

    Trigger

    Unfortunately, the {{satisfaction.rating_url}} is very long. This drives the cost per SMS.

    By the way: I think it's better to just use a tag instead of a ticket field ;-)

    Thanks for this @....  The call center actually takes calls from mostly landlines, eliminating the text back opportunity.  While we were able to tie this back into c-sat using the user's profile and subsequent ticket - the feedback we received was that the email came through too far removed from the call and caused customer confusion.

    Hi @...

    Good point. I've been thinking about that, too. You can define two rules in the automation for the CSAT by adding the channel as a condition. Then there is one automation per channel. For example, for telephone support you send the survey after one hour, for e-mail after 24 hours. I think we will solve it this way.

    Hey @... - good tip!

    Hey @...! Thank you for this tip. For triggers I can't seem to get the satisfaction url placeholder to work. Do you have a workaround for this? I thought I could do a second automation instead of a trigger, but you can't send a text via automation.

    Thanks!

    Hi @...

    Correct. Automations can't send SMS, so we had to combine it with a trigger.
    However, I didn't understand your problem exactly. We simply use the placeholder {{satisfaction.rating.url}} in the SMS text.

    It's best to adopt the solution as described above: https://support.zendesk.com/hc/de/community/posts/360031484573/comments/1260801990290

    @... good job :-)

    By the way, you can just paste placeholders into a comment in a ticket to see how it works in your environment.

    {{satisfaction.rating.url}} does not work for me in text message.

    When I use this short code I get an error message saying zendesk could not deliver the message.

    Does anyone use this shortcode? And does it work for you?

    Hi BCD/AH,

    I think in this case you would need to use the following:

    The default {{satisfaction.rating_section}}​ placeholder will return the following section:

    If you want to offer just the links, you would need to offer both {{satisfaction.positive_rating_url}} and {{satisfaction.negative_rating_url}}  since the links themselves immediately collect the feedback and associate it with the ticket.

    Thank you for your answer Brandon Tidd. However both of those also fail.

    They work perfectly when I use "Email user" in trigger action. But when I chose the action "Text user", they fail and Zendesk says that the text/SMS can not be sent.

    The same happens when I use: {{ticket.url}} - the text can not be sent.

    I tried to enter a plain webadress like: https://www.zendesk.com/ or google.com. They fail. No matter how I format the link/url the text/SMS will not send. 

    It I remove these shortcodes, so it is just plain text, then text/SMS goes through fine.

    ps. the shortcodes below work fine:

    • {{ticket.requester.name}}
    • {{ticket.via}}
    • {{ticket.title}}
    • {{ticket.id}}

    But they all also only render plain text.

    Sorry to hear that - I would expect that the other short codes work as they are substitutes for just plain text - a bit surprised that even the plain web addresses like google.com also fail (assuming here you are way under the 160 character limitation).  Let me kick this around with the other moderators and see if anyone has a work around here.  You might also consider opening a support ticket to have the Zendesk advocacy team review your setup specifically.

    It has suddenly started working without me doing anything.

    Very strange, but nice that it is working :-)

    Thank you for your help
