Get Started with Salesforce Feedback Management

Learning Objectives

In this project, you’ll:

  • Understand the Salesforce Surveys capabilities available with the Salesforce Feedback Management license.
  • Set up users permissions for the Salesforce Feedback Management license.
  • Add merge fields in surveys.
  • Set up data maps for your surveys.
  • Use merge fields to create data maps.
  • Set up a post-chat survey.
  • Embed surveys in web pages.

Amp Up Your Surveys

Ursa Major Solar has been using Salesforce Surveys for a while. Their post-case feedback survey has provided the management team with critical insights about customer satisfaction. But this survey was only sent to customers who raised cases via their website or emails. The management has now turned their attention toward gathering post-chat feedback from customers who contact Ursa Major Solar’s support team using the live chat on their website.

Ursa Major Solar’s admin, Maria, is a little worried about how many long lines of code she might have to write to get post-chat surveys up and running. Before she begins, Maria calls up her Salesforce account executive for any tips or suggestions. The account executive tells her that Ursa Major Solar can gather post-chat feedback without any custom code using the Salesforce Feedback Management license. Maria also learns that the license packs a punch with some very cool capabilities.

With Salesforce Feedback Management, she can personalize the customer’s experience by adding merge fields within her survey. She can also create or update records in Ursa Major Solar’s org based on customer feedback. To top it off, the license comes with the ability to receive unlimited responses. After the license is added to Ursa Major Solar’s org, Maria can allow herself and other users in the org permission to use the capabilities of the Salesforce Feedback Management license.

Maria has a quick chat with her management team and requests the Salesforce account executive to add Salesforce Feedback Management to Ursa Major Solar’s org.

Put the New Capabilities to Action

Maria's ready to get started. She plans to create a two-question survey, which will fit perfectly within the chat window. She wants to include merge fields within the survey. Maria is also planning to create a survey data map that creates an Opportunity record if the customer indicates that they’re interested in purchasing another product from Ursa Major Solar. This will really help Maria’s colleagues in the Sales team.
