Customer Thermometer helps Service Desks, Helpdesks, Customer Support, Customer Service and Success Teams get more feedback from customers and staff.
Send an email with our feedback buttons in. Recipients simply click a single icon, and can leave a comment. Their feedback is registered, they don’t need to confirm their choice.
3 easy ways to get feedback
We have 3 easy ways for you to get feedback, all available from one account.
As soon as the recipient responds, their feedback is recorded within your account and they see a brandable, customizable landing page. This page acknowledges their response and allows them to leave a comment (if you wish).
Comments are optional for the recipient and will be appended to the response, if provided.
There are 4 context-sensitive landing pages (one for each possible rating) for each Thermometer. Each one can be customized when you set up your 1-click survey.
You can also choose to receive email alerts for certain types of response and/or for comments.
How do I get started?
There’s a 1-time set up of your survey template in the Manage Thermometers area. You can come back to edit the settings any time you wish.
You create your survey buttons and template, and then customize the landing pages you want your recipients to see.
How you then implement the survey will depend on the Thermometer type you’re using:
Embedded Thermometer: we generate a snippet of HTML code and you paste it into your CRM or Helpdesk app’s email template area.
Outlook signature Thermometer: we generate a set of icons and links for you to add to the Outlook signature.
Email Thermometer: you simply create a List of contacts in your Customer Thermometer account and send out your “Blast”.
What is a Blast?
Each Thermometer’s responses are collected in a “Blast” within your reporting area.
Think of them as buckets or envelopes which hold specific sets of responses.
They are automatically created when an Embedded Thermometer is generated or an Email Thermometer Blast is sent.
2. Plan things out
Talk things through with your team
Customer Thermometer can be used in so many different ways. Measure one area of your business and do that well. It’s easy to roll out the service to other areas.
Think about how you might tackle feedback when it comes in.
You’ll get brilliant constructive feedback, have a plan for what to do with it
Have a plan for how you’ll respond to negative feedback and close the loop
Have a plan for how will you involve and incentivise your teams
3. Time to set up a Thermometer
Thermometers are what we call the survey templates in your account
The easiest way to set a Thermometer up is to click ‘Launch Thermometer Wizard’:
Choose your integration, Outlook signature Thermometer, or basic HTML from here:
With your first Thermometer template created, it’s time to test it out.
Embedded Thermometers
Customer Thermometer works with hundreds of apps, like Salesforce, ServiceNow, Zendesk and more. To get help on how to connect CT and your system, visit the integration help page.
If your app isn’t listed, get in touch. It’s likely we can quickly and easily get it working for you.
Whichever Helpdesk / PSA / CRM system you use, the principle is the same.
First, we generate the snippet of HTML code. You paste the code into an email template inside your system.
Once saved, it will look something like this:
How does it work?
We merge variables from email templates in your Helpdesk/CRM/email system into our tracking links, to provide identifiable tracking information which is then stored in your Customer Thermometer account. Each app is slightly different and there are different instructions and possibilities.
It’s simple. No developers are needed.
Outlook / Gmail signature Thermometers
Choose Outlook Signature (or Gmail) from the Thermometer Wizard.
Follow the instructions to create your Thermometer and then click the “Generate embed code” button.
Once you’ve created your Thermometer, you can grab your icons and links and add them into your signature.
To send Email Thermometers from our system, you’ll need to create a list of recipients.
You can type your List in by hand, or upload a CSV List directly into the app.
You can upload, create and save as many Lists as you want so that you can come back and reuse them at any time.
Once you’ve uploaded your List of contacts, click the “Send a Blast” button on the main menu. Then simply select your Thermometer template, and your List.
You can send it out immediately, or time it for the future.
You can preview your survey again before you send it, as well as send a test to yourself. it looks like this:
