The following tutorial explains how to trigger CTAs using the rules engine based on NPS® survey response scores. (The NPS® question is the only survey question for which you can trigger CTAs using the rules engine.) Admins can also configure CTAs for Surveys directly in the Survey module. For more information, refer to the Automate NPS® Survey CTAs article.
Although it’s possible to trigger CTAs directly from the Survey module, additional functionality is available with the Rules Engine, including the ability to:
- Customize the name of the CTA
- Customize the option to skip weekends or not, for calculating the CTA due date
- Use Tokens in the CTA comments (@some_field)
Assumptions
You want to create CTAs automatically for the following conditions:
- If the NPS® survey response score is less than 6, you want to create a Detractor CTA.
- If the NPS® survey response is greater than or equal to 9, you want to create a Promoter CTA.
Additionally, this scenario assumes you have two Playbooks created, for CSMs to address NPS® promoters and detractors.
