Setting Up Adhoc Standard Live Chat Survey Distribution
Updated
Live Chat Standard Survey Distribution in Sprinklr sends customers a link to an external survey after a chat ends, rather than embedding questions in the chat. It’s easy to set up, supports complex survey designs, and ensures a consistent experience across channels.
Business Use Cases
Post-Chat Feedback Automation: Helps organizations to gather customer satisfaction and agent performance feedback consistently, without relying on manual follow‑ups or external survey links. By using automated survey triggers within their support platform, a workflow is configured to send a feedback survey immediately after a chat interaction is marked as resolved. The customer receives the survey directly within the same chat interface, allowing for timely, seamless, and context‑rich feedback collection while minimizing friction and operational effort.
Surveys delivered immediately after an interaction ends drive higher response rates by capturing feedback at the most relevant moment. Because customers remain in the same Live Chat interface without needing to switch channels, the experience stays seamless and interruption‑free. Automated triggering through the Rule Engine ensures surveys are consistently sent across all eligible conversations, reducing manual effort and improving reliability. Responses are also tied directly to the original chat context—agents, queues, and resolution details, resulting in richer, more actionable insights.
