This article will walk you through how to set up your SalesForce survey domain name. After completing the set up, you will learn how to test the survey site. Before you can publish a survey in Gainsight's Survey module, you will need to create a survey domain. The same survey domain can be used to host multiple surveys.

Note: For more information on the Salesforce permissions required to manage domains, see the Salesforce article Manage Domains and Custom URLs.

Email Template Configuration

A default email template ‘Gainsight Survey Template’ is available as part of the application which can be cloned and modified. The template includes the ability to send each participant a unique URL that tracks the respondent. You can alter the HTML and plain text version of the template to customize you message including the email subject.

Test Survey Configuration

We recommend testing your survey configurations before sending a survey to customers. This allows you to ensure everything operates as expected and gives you the opportunity to resolve issues without them becoming customer facing. The steps below will walk you through creating, publishing, and deleting a test survey.
