Adding admin / supervisor email address(es) to the alert templates

The survey engine will dispatch alert notifications to admins / supervisors if a 'low score' has been entered by the customer. This is to ensure rapid follow up with the customer regarding any perceived negative experience they may have had relating to a recently closed ticket of theirs.

Add admin / supervisor email address(es) to alert templates as follows:

  1. In the [Main menu], select [Screen > Administration]
  2. Click the [Advanced properties] tab
  3. Navigate to the [Survey system > Survey templates] folder
  4. In the right-hand pane, double-click the ALERT template corresponding to the system survey you wish to deploy
  5. Add the admin / supervisor email address(es) to the [To] field

Deploying a system survey

Please note: It is recommended that you not modify any of the configuration settings for the default system survey groups beyond the parameters explicitly specified. Should you wish to create highly customized surveys, please do so as per the instructions in this article.

Proceed with deploying a system survey as follows:

  1. In the [Main menu], select [Screen > Administration]
  2. Click the [Advanced properties] tab
  3. Navigate to the [Survey system] folder
  4. In the right-hand pane, double-click the system survey group corresponding to the system survey you wish to deploy
  5. In the [Survey Group] window, click the [Alerts] tab
  6. Each question in the survey has an alert condition assigned to it that will trigger based on the score submitted by the customer. You can alter the sensitivity as follows:
    1. Double-click the survey question (indicated by q1 for question 1, q2 for question 2, ...) whose alert you wish to modify, then set the
      1. Condition -  triggers when the score set by the customer meets the setting. Options: LesserEqual, or Greater
      2. Value - the numeric value of the score entered by the customer that will trigger according to the set condition. This number is 1 (negative) to 10 (positive)
      3. [Save] the changes to the alert
    2. Modify other alerts as necessary
  7. Continued in next section...


Figure 3 - Changing the alert sensitivity for system survey questions

  1. Click the [Deploy] tab
  2. Click the [Start configuration wizard] button and follow the instructions to deploy the system survey to your system. Attention: (During the wizard) Be sure to specify the Standard Response corresponding to the system survey which you are deploying, because that is the response the system will send to the customer, and it contains the link to the system survey
  3. After the wizard has completed, [Save] the system survey group configuration. Whenever a ticket is closed in the ticketbox(es) where the system survey has been deployed, a Standard Response containing a link to the survey will be sent to the customer.
  4. Please note: If you wish to add a link to the survey to your website, expand the [Generate link to deploy to a web site] section
    1. Set the [Link options]:
      1. Reference group by ID / name - changes the URL to display either the ID or name for the survey group
      2. Append %TICKET NO% placeholder - ticking this flag will automatically include the ticket number of any tickets that triggered the dispatch of the survey
    2. The [Link code] for the survey can now be copied and tested in a browser or added to a Standard Response that will link a customer to the survey
