Satisfaction survey (CSAT) 101Updated a month ago

Customer satisfaction ratings are one of the best ways to determine how well your team is supporting your customers as they're direct feedback from them. 

The ticket needs to contain at least one reply from an agent for the CSAT survey to trigger, but it doesn't have to be assigned to anyone - the survey will still trigger.



FAQs

Are satisfaction surveys sent if you snooze a ticket?

No, the satisfaction surveys won't be sent to a snoozed ticket.

When does Gorgias send a satisfaction survey?

We'll only send the satisfaction survey if:

  • There's at least one message from a customer and one answer from an agent (messages sent via Rules and notes don't count)
  • The total conversation (all messages together) is longer than 250 characters
  • The last reply from an agent, at the moment when the ticket gets closed, was less than a week ago

If a business closes a ticket multiple times, will the satisfaction survey be sent multiple times?

If the customer already received a survey for this ticket and the ticket reopens and re-closes, we don't send another survey for that ticket.

Can satisfaction surveys be edited or deleted by an Admin in Gorgias?

No, they can't be edited or deleted by any user.

Are satisfaction surveys billed?

Since the satisfaction survey is sent to a ticket that was marked as billable, there will be no extra charge for sending the survey itself.

If I accidentally close a ticket, does reopening it before the set time passes prevent the survey from being sent?

Yes - if you set your surveys to be sent after 2 hours, for example, accidentally close the ticket, but reopen it before 2 hours have passed, we don't send the survey on it.

Yes, they expire after 6 months.

Can I show statistics for a period longer than 90 days?

No - the maximum is 90 days.

Can I create a survey Macro by copying the variables from Settings -> Account -> Satisfaction survey and send them to my customers manually that way?

No, the variable won't work as intended in these cases.

What happens to the satisfaction survey inside the ticket if we merge it?

If you merge a ticket in which there's a satisfaction survey, the survey will disappear from the ticket, but you'll still be able to search for that specific survey in your Statistics.

Does the data show up in Satisfaction stats if a customer didn't click any stars but just commented?

No - in these cases, we aren't pulling the message the customer left inside the satisfaction survey page. The customer needs to select a rating and then leave a comment.

Will the satisfaction survey be triggered for a deleted ticket if all other conditions are fulfilled?

No, the customer satisfaction survey won't trigger on deleted tickets.

What if I have multiple brands using different Email integrations?

The satisfaction survey is sent using the last message’s email channel (if the ticket channel is Email) or the associated email address for Chat tickets.

Are surveys sent for social media tickets?

No - surveys are only sent to Email and Chat tickets.

What happens with Satisfaction surveys if a ticket gets reassigned?

The survey will be counted under the new assignee under Statistics → Support Performance → Satisfaction. This action takes around 10 - 15 minutes to be reflected.
