How do I create a triggered email?

Triggers are actions or workflows that you can create from within Zoho Survey. Zoho Survey currently supports three triggers, Trigger Emails, Trigger Functions, and Webhook. You can set up automated email notifications for every survey response or only when a respondent answers your survey in a certain way. You can also send the user's score, total score, and the percentage of the total score for each question and page in an email notification by using the scoring feature. 

To create an email trigger:

  1. Click the  Hub  tab.
    Hub
  2. Click the  Triggers  section.

To add another email in the  From  box, click the down arrow next to the  From email address and click  Add Email . You'll be taken to the accounts page, where you can add more email addresses.
  5. Reload the page to update your list of email addresses.

  6. Type the name of the sender in the  Sender name  field.
  7. In the  To  box, type the email addresses where you want to send trigger emails. Separate the addresses with commas. If you have an email question in your survey, you don't have to type in email addresses manually—insert them as variables in the  To  box.
  8. Add a subject for the trigger email in the  Subject  box. You can also select a variable from the  Insert Variable  dropdown and make it the subject. For example, you can insert a variable called Name and say "<name of the respondent>, you've got feedback!"
