Field | Description | ||
---|---|---|---|
'Trigger Point' selection | |||
Use this section to define whether to send survey for all tickets meeting trigger point conditions or only certain ones. | |||
Status change | Select a status that will trigger a survey. For instance, if you select "Done", then whenever the tickets in this project reach the "Done" stage, an email survey will be sent to the selected recipient. You can set different issue types separately. For instance, you can opt to only send surveys for the "Bug" issue type. | ||
JQL match | You can create a custom JQL query to serve as a trigger point for the survey. Then you can just select your saved filter for this option. For example, you can survey on the tickets that belong to a certain product component or filter out requests of a certain type only.
| ||
'Frequency' section | |||
You can further filter the surveys sent based on the values in the certain fields. For example, you can ask for feedback for every major bug but for the minor ones - send surveys for only 10% of those. | |||
Send survey once per ticket | Here you can define whether you want to send a survey again if the ticket is reopened and then closed again. Sometimes it happens that a ticket is resolved, a recipient replies to the survey and then for some reason the ticket is reopened, someone works on it and resolves a ticket again. This might trigger a survey to be sent to a recipient again, and often this is exactly what the companies want (survey on how the service was provided this time) but sometimes companies wish not to overwhelm and exhaust their recipients with too many surveys. You can opt to only send a survey once per issue. | ||
Send surveys for all tickets | If you select this option, then surveys will be sent for all tickets in this project that meet the trigger conditions. | ||
Filter surveys by | You can filter your surveys even further. By default, the app draws on the Priority field but you can select another single select custom field. For example, you can:
