This article will show you how to use the “Survey Submitted” workflow trigger! This trigger allows you to automate actions when a contact submits a specific survey. From follow-up emails to tagging and lead qualification, this trigger helps streamline post-survey workflows.

What is the Survey Submitted Workflow Trigger?

This trigger is activated when a contact submits a survey. You can configure it with specific filters to target particular surveys or survey responses, allowing for tailored automation based on the contact’s feedback. The Survey Submitted trigger allows you to initiate a workflow whenever a contact submits a survey. This can be useful for automating follow-up actions based on survey responses, such as sending a thank-you email, updating contact information, or adding tags based on the survey results.

Key Benefits of the Survey Submitted Trigger

This trigger allows you to automate responses to survey submissions, reducing manual work and increasing the efficiency of lead processing and customer engagement.

• Filters:
  
  • Disqualified: is false (Only trigger if the contact is not disqualified)
    
  • Survey is: “Customer Satisfaction Survey”

Workflow Steps:

1. Trigger: Survey Submitted (as configured above)
   
2. Action: Send Email – “Thank you for your feedback!”
   
3. Action: Update Contact Field – Mark the survey as “Completed.”
