Adding a Feedback element to your email signature
To add a Feedback element to your email signature:
NOTE: You can add two types of Feedback blocks to your signature:
- CSAT: This means Customer Satisfaction; it measures how happy the customer is with the product, service, or support interaction.
- NPS: This means Net Promoter Score; it is a metric for assessing customer loyalty for a company’s brand, products or services. You calculate your NPS using the answer to a key question, using a 0-10 scale: ‘How likely is it that you would recommend [brand] to a friend or colleague?’ This is called the Net Promoter Score question or the recommend question.

Defining Feedback Visibility properties
To define Feedback Visibility properties:
- By default, the Feedback border is selected.
- From the right-hand side, Properties pane, select the required Visibility properties.
Visibility properties determine the circumstances under which the selected survey should/should not be displayed:
Always visible | By default, Always visible is selected. This means that the chosen survey will always be visible in the signature. |
---|---|
Auto-hiding separator | Select this option where multiple fields are defined on a single line (example: Address {Field} elements), separated by a character (such as a comma or a pipe); and you want to hide separators if no user data is present. |
Visible when | Select to define the conditions when the chosen survey needs to be visible on the signature. |
Deleting the Feedback element
To delete the Feedback element:
- In the signature template, select the border of the survey.
- From the right-hand side Properties pane, click Delete.
Example:
The selected survey is deleted from the signature template.
- Don't forget to click SAVE CHANGES to save the changes made to your signature template.
Sending an email with the survey
Sending an email with the survey and what happens when the recipient rates the survey:
- When you send an email, the survey block you dragged on to your signature template is displayed in your email.
Example:
- In this example, each star includes a link referring to the sender's name and the email address where it was sent from - the same attributes included at the time of Exclaimer integration.
- So, when the recipient clicks on a star, they receive a Thank you for your response page stating the star number clicked and requesting feedback on their response. If the recipient enters a response, they receive another email stating their feedback.
Example:
NOTE: Currently, you cannot change the format (this includes text, colours, alignment, logo, language, and so on) of the Thank you for your response page. - Once the recipient submits the comment, it is recorded in the Feedback Analytics screen.
- In Feedback Analytics, Email Alert Notifications tab, you can enter multiple email addresses stating who will receive the response notifications separating them by a comma or semicolon. If you do not wish to receive response notifications, then leave the relevant field blank. For more information, see Response notifications.
Next steps: Once you have added the Feedback block to your signature, you will start to receive feedback from the recipients. You can view the responses on the Analytics Feedback screen.
