Feedback Alerts
An alert is a notification sent to certain email addresses to let people in your business know that a piece of feedback has been received. Alerts can be set up for someone to receive notifications for all feedback or for feedback in a specific rating range. They can also be filtered by location.
Find an explanation about locations in this article: What are programmes, locations and sub-measures?
Alert notifications are managed by the Admin and Manager users in your business so you might not be able to see other user's alerts if you are not one of these user types. For more information on different user types, try this article: How do I control who can see feedback?
Use case: Why use Alerts?
Responding quickly to negative feedback is a great opportunity to convert detractors to promoters.
For example, use alerts to help your team quickly follow up with customer feedback that needs attention. Rather than having to log into the dashboard to look through responses, you can create an alert that triggers when detractor feedback is submitted, emailing a notification straight to the appropriate person's inbox.
Alert Status
The Alert Status categorises feedback comments based on their current alert status. Every feedback comment will have an alert status that is one of the following:
- Not Triggered: The feedback triggered no alerts.
- Received: The feedback triggered an alert and action is required.
- Responded: The feedback triggered an alert and someone on your team has responded to the customer but the customer interaction has not been completed yet.
- Closed/Retained: The feedback triggered an alert but required no further action or the customer interaction has been completed.
