How can you use trigger emails?
Trigger emails have a variety of practical applications. They make it possible to take immediate actions based on the responses received.
Respond to feedback
Send a thank-you email as soon as someone leaves a good rating for your service, or reach out to address negative feedback.
Initiate a call to action
Take your respondents to the next stage in the sales funnel. Use trigger emails to engage potential leads and convert them to committed customers.
Get notified
Enter your email ID in the to section to get notified about feedback, test scores, and specific responses that require your immediate attention. You can also set tasks based on responses received.
Send test/quiz results
If you use Survey for online tests, trigger emails can send respondents their scores along with a copy of their answers.
Target your audience
Let’s say you’ve sent out a survey asking customers to select their favorite product you manufacture. You’re releasing a new series of smartwatches in the coming month, and you want to notify all customers who chose “watch.” A trigger email will send your message to these specific respondents.
Notify relevant teams and individuals
Based on responses received, send email notifications to a specific person or to multiple groups. In these emails, you can write custom messages to different recipients referencing relevant parts of the survey (such as their responses to specific questions or survey scores).
