That support ticket you just closed – was the customer truly satisfied, or did they just give up? Without effective customer satisfaction surveys, you’re missing vital feedback that could prevent customer churn and improve your support quality.
What Are Customer Satisfaction Surveys?
Customer satisfaction surveys (CSAT) serve as real-time feedback tools, measuring how well your support team meets customer expectations after ticket interactions. They’re your window into customer sentiment, revealing both successes and areas needing attention.

Common CSAT Challenges in Support

Feedback Quality
– Getting specific, actionable feedback

Understanding CSAT Components
Survey Timing
Three key moments for feedback collection:
After ticket status changes
Example: When a ticket moves to “Resolved,” automatically send a survey to gauge resolution satisfaction. This helps validate that the solution met customer needs.
Following agent interactions
Example: After an agent provides detailed troubleshooting steps, collect feedback on the clarity and helpfulness of the response.
At resolution points
Example: When an agent resolves a complex technical issue and changes the ticket status, gather comprehensive feedback about both the solution and the support experience.
Quality Measurement
Essential elements to assess:
– Resolution effectiveness
– Agent performance
