CSAT Form

CSAT forms enable companies to track their customer reaction to their services and support systems. We can obtain a CSAT score through a quick survey through any of the communication channels. 

Clients also have the option to use the default form already available on the Verloop.io dashboard.

Building a CSAT Form

The form is a collection of 3 types of labels:
1. Rating:  Under the Rating label, the admin can give the end users the option to give interaction satisfaction based on the following criteria

a. Star Rating: Out of 5 stars score

b. 1-5 Number: Customer Satisfaction from 1-5

c. Emoji: Customer Satisfaction based on good, bad, excellent, etc emojis. 

d. Thumbs: A simple thumbs up or thumbs down reaction

2. Free Text: Text field option to submit a written feedback

3. Button Group: It is a multi-select label in which the admin can give multi-select options. Can give 1 to 15 different options for ratings. Per button character limit “20.”

Note : You can make any label:

  • Mandatory by clicking on the mandatory toggle button in the label settings.
  • Delete it
  • Or duplicate them as needed.

Now let’s get into understanding how you can create the form (only the admin has the access to create the form).
1. Go to settings on the Verloop.io dashboard.

2. Then click on the “Chat” option, from the “setting” list.

3. Once you click on “Chat”, go to the “CSAT Form” card and click on it.

4. Post-clicking on “CSAT Form,”, you will see two options 

  • Default CSAT Form: Click on it to use the already existing CSAT form.
  • Add another form: Click on this to create a customised form from scratch.

5. Click on one of the above mentioned labels based on how you want to collect customer feedback. And Add a name for the form of the placeholder which shows ‘Form 2’. Ensure it’s unique for easy recall. 

6. Then Add the department for which you want to collect the feedback.

Note:

  • You cannot have different forms for a single department. 
  • When the chat is closing, the last department information will be used for the form.
  • You cannot repeat the department once used in one label for consecutive labels in the same form.

7. For CSAT calculations, click on the question’s settings, then click on the “Use the CSAT calculation” toggle.

Note: In a single form, you can make the CSAT calculation mandatory for only one question/label.

8. Add follow-up questions for the CSAT: Under the label, click on the clickable text “Setup a follow-up question based on the rating”

9. Select the options(multi-select) for which the follow-up questions need to be shown, under “Select ratings to show the follow-up question.”

10. Then enter the title in the “Enter a title here” placeholder.


11. You can also enter the answer placeholder value you want the customer to answer in, by adding the description in the “Enter a placeholder.”

12. To make the follow-up question mandatory: Go to settings in the following question and click on the “Mandatory” toggle button.

Write the number of ratings for which you want the question to appear in “Enter the number of ratings”(it will change based on the rating type/label chosen before). So if the rating is equal to less than the question will appear. 

13. To use and save the CSAT comments, switch on the “Use this for CSAT comments” toggle.

You can give a custom variable name saved for viewing the comments and responses or it will be saved with the default question title name.
NOTE:

  • If you have not designed a CSAT form or turned off the CSAT form, the default CSAT form will be used.
  • CSAT is calculated:

(Total number of answers/Total number of questions)* 100

  • No linking in the CSAT form, all fields are independent of each other.

14. Click on “Save” to save the form.

All the field values submitted against the CSAT, CSAT comment, and custom variables linked respectively by the admin will be shown accordingly in the report.

CSAT Whitelabel

CSAT White-labelling allows you to mask the CSAT URL of Verloop with a custom domain of your choice.

Before Whitelabeling URL: csat.verloop.io

After Whitelabeling URL: yoursubdomain.yourcompany.com or simply yourcompany.com

How to enable Whitelabel?
Step 1: Update verloop.io’s CSAT URL domain in your DNS settings. 
This URL is specific to your client’s id on verloop.io.

Go to DNS settings, create a CNAME DNS Record and adds a text record

Click on “Save.”
Step 2: Request Verloop.io to create a “name” of your choice which we can use to white label the URL and opt to save and validate.

Step 3: We create SSL. While we are doing this, a message will appear:

SSL Validation may take up to 24 hours. You will be notified over email once it is done.”
Note: If the SSL certificate generation fails, we ask the customer to “update CNAME again.

How does the CSAT page look to the end customer?

  1. Web/Live chat: After the live chat is over, the below screen will pop up to take the CSAT feedback from the end customer.

Whatsapp, Facebook Messenger, and Instagram: For the end users, who are conversing over WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger and Instagram, the below message with the feedback link will be shown.

On clicking the link, they will be redirected to the feedback screen as shown below, where they can provide their feedback.

Once they provide their feedback and click on “Submit Feedback”, they will be redirected to the below “Thank You” page.

CSAT Collection

For CSAT collection, there are 3 scenarios we have considered, they are as follows:

1. Mandatory Field and Rest Optional Fields

Consider there are 5 fields in the CSAT collection conversation flow, out of which 2 are mandatory and others are optional. In this case, after giving the feedback, customers will need to click on the “Submit Feedback button”, at the end of the conversation to register for CSAT.

2. All Optional Fields

Now let us consider a scenario where all fields are optional. If customers provide feedback for one field, CSAT will be registered without the need to click on the “Submit Feedback button.”

3. Only 1 Field

In the scenario where only one field is present in the CSAT conversation flow, the customers don’t need to click on the “Submit Feedback button” to register their feedback. They can click on the rating field, for example, and the feedback will be automatically registered.
