Collect Customer Feedback

This tutorial explains how you can use our customer engagement platform, Moments, to send surveys to your users and gather feedback to improve your services and customer experience. You can use Moments with People, along with different communication channels.

This tutorial focuses on collecting customer feedback via SMS.

Be sure to consider all possible communications channels when collecting customer feedback because some customers might be more eager to rate your services or talk to your call center agent simply due to a personal touch when using Voice rather than using the speed and convenience of SMS.  

You’ve provided your service, now you can ask for feedback by sending an SMS, Viber, WhatsApp message, or creating an outbound IVR call so the user can rate you via their phone keypad. They can even choose to talk to a live agent.

Before Getting Started

To get started with this tutorial, you must have an Infobip account. Log in or sign up for an account.

Prerequisites

Upload the list of contacts to the People module.

Process Workflow

The structure of a collect customer feedback flow is the same for almost all communications channels. The only difference is the flow elements that you choose. Every collect customer feedback flow has:

• An initial contact message to the customer
• An element for collecting the customer response
• Conditions and tags to enable us to branch flow responses into appropriate groupings like Satisfied, Neutral, and Unsatisfied
• An (optional) closing response or message like "Thank you for your input. Goodbye."

Workflow over Message Platforms

This is what the functioning workflow looks like in action for collecting Customer feedback over message platforms.

Workflow over IVR Call

Implementation Steps

This tutorial can be implemented using the Infobip web interface.

1. Log in to the Infobip web interface, navigate to the Moments module, click CREATE FLOW, and then click Start from Scratch.

2. Select Predefined audience, and Start building.

4. Set your audience by entering the name of a segment or a tag, such as "My audience"

5. Select the right-facing arrow on the Predefined audience element and choose a communication channel (e.g., SMS / WhatsApp / Viber / Start Call)

6. Fill in the Data Required for the channel you choose.

For example, SMS:

• Choose From (the sender you wish to use).
• Enter Content, maybe something like “Hi {firstname}, how do you like our product from 1 to 5?“

7. Click the arrow to add the Evaluate inbound message element (or the Collect element if you are collecting customer feedback via IVR call).

8. Fill in the details required. You may see different elements depending on the element accessed. For SMS you will see: 

• Select a Channel you used to send the first message.
• Choose To (we recommend you use the same number you used to send the first message).
• Set Conditions. In this example, where you expect grades from 1 to 5, the conditions should be set like this:
  1. IF… keyword is 1
  2. IF… keyword is 2
  3. IF… keyword is 3
  4. IF… keyword is 4
  5. IF… keyword is 5
  6. IF… any keyword

9. Click the arrow from the Keyword is 1 and click the Add Tag element.

10. Set an Add Tag element.

1. Click Create Tag and enter a name that will be used to tag unsatisfied customers.
2. Once you enter a name, the tag will be added at the top to the Selected Tags (multiple tags can be used).

11. Connect the arrow from Keyword is 2, click the Add Tag element and add the Unsatisfied tag.

12.  Click the arrow from Keyword is 3, click the Add Tag element and add the Neutral tag.

13.  Click the arrow from Keyword is 4, click Add Tag element and add the Satisfied tag.

14.  Connect the arrow from Keyword is 5 element to Satisfied tag element.

15. For the In case of any other keyword element, click the arrow and select a communication channel (e.g., SMS). 

Repeat step 6 and fill the From field and the message content. For example, you can enter: "Sorry, we didn't understand your reply. Please reply with a value from 1-5."

16. When done, connect this element to the Evaluate inbound message element to wait for a valid reply from the user. You do not need to do this step if collecting feedback via IVR Call.

Exit the flow by linking all Keyword responses to the Exit Flow element

17. Select Validate (the flow won't launch when you click this) or schedule the Flow to be launched in the future by clicking Schedule.

18. If you did everything correctly, you will see a summary screen with the LAUNCH NOW button (if scheduling is not set) or LAUNCH LATER (if scheduling is set).
