Set up the “Create contact” notification

Using our Create contact notification you can completely automate your workflow and create a new contact – as well as add it to a survey – each time a certain response was provided.

For example: for each NPS® detractor you can automatically add a new contact to a follow-up survey. In this case the contact’s email address will be the follow-up team’s email address. The detractor’s contact details and comments to the survey are added as custom fields.

The follow-up team immediately receives an invitation to fill out the follow-up survey as soon as someone has been identified as a detractor. The follow-up survey itself will act as a call script for your team.

These workflows were discussed more in detail during our Webinar: Net Promoter Score Webinar: 4 tips to get everybody involved.

You can even take it one step further and use our API to export this follow-up survey data into your CMS or database for future use.

How to set up the “create contact” notification

  1. Sign in to CheckMarket.
  2. Open your survey.
  3. Click on Settings and then on Notifications.
  4. Click on Create notification.
  5. Add a notification name. Use a name that describes clearly what the notification does exactly.
  6. By default the notification is automatically set as Active. You can change this to Inactive if you don’t want to use it right away.
  7. Add your conditions. When exactly does a new contact need to be created?
    • Select type (Question or Respondent Field): should your trigger fire as soon as a respondent provides a certain response? Or does it depend on the metadata you imported along with your contacts? Or perhaps you need a mixture of both?
    • Choose the question or respondent field you wish to base your trigger on.
    • Select the operator, i.e. ‘equals‘, ‘does not equal‘, ‘greater than‘, etc.
    • Select the value of the question or respondent field.For example:example of a detractor condition
    • Select the action Create contact.
    • The following screen becomes available:create new contact
