You need customer feedback to improve their experience. Set up the workflow for ticket ratings to always exceed customer expectations.

First, you can only collect feedback on your customer service team’s performance with a properly configured workflow

If you want to start collecting customer feedback, go to the “Automations” section and select the “Workflows” category.

Here you can find the workflow named “Feedback request,” responsible for collecting ticket ratings.

By default, the “Feedback request” automated workflow is:

  • Ready in terms of a set of conditions and actions
  • Enabled for new licenses

Edit the workflow named “Feedback request.”

You can modify the content of the “Feedback request” workflow to suit your needs. In addition, you can easily enable and disable this workflow using the switch button to the right of this specific workflow in the main list with workflows.

Choose whether a rating is (given in the past) or has been added (given after the automation was created) as Great 🟢, Okay 🔵, or Not good 🔴 in tickets to automate responding to customer feedback.

Ticket rating from the customer’s perspectiveLink icon

One hour after you set the ticket status to “Solved,” your customer will receive an automated email asking them to rate their support experience.

When your customer clicks on the emotion icon reflecting their overall sentiment, a new tab with a rating page will open. Here, the customer can rate the ticket just once. They can also add an optional comment.

When your customer leaves a rating, they’ll get confirmation of that.

  1. Rating: Disabled
  2. Rating: Not rated (your customer hasn’t yet given any feedback)
  3. Rating: Not applicable
  4. Rating: Request sent
  5. Rating: Great/Okay/Not good
  6. Recent rating: Great/Okay/Not good (if there were more ratings)

If a ticket is assigned to a team for which ticket rating is disabled, meaning the “Feedback request” workflow is disabled, the ticket rating status will be “Disabled.”
