Note: To track CSAT and NPS scores, create a Custom Object on your Salesforce account.

Trigger surveys based on an event

Here’s how the Salesforce integration helps you automate sending surveys when an event happens in Salesforce.

1. After logging into your SurveySparrow account, create a new survey or open an existing one. Navigate to Integrate tab & enable the Salesforce toggle.

2. Enter your Salesforce credentials and authorize access to your SurveySparrow account.

3. Once the integration is enabled successfully, navigate to Salesforce and enable the toggle - “Trigger Survey when an event happens in Salesforce”.

4. Choose an Event: Set the action for which you want the survey to be invoked.

5. Choose an Action: Once the object is selected, decide whether you want to create or update the existing fields

6. Add conditions(if any)

Note:Enter the condition(s) to have complete control over the respondents. Fill in the “Field”, “Operator” and “Value” slots. If you were to enter multiple conditions, then the survey is initiated only if all the conditions are met.

Eg: Trigger surveys automatically when the “case”

• The status is resolved, and
• Priority is not equal to low.

7. Enter the email address/addresses: Type in the email addresses of the recipients to whom you want the surveys to be sent out.

8. Choose share channel: Select the email share channel to which you want your surveys to be rolled out.

Once you have filled in all the appropriate fields, click “Save” to complete the action.

Note: For NPS surveys, you can pass the desired object variables to the surveys you invoke.

Mapping responses to Salesforce fields to capture new leads
