Also, the built-in analytics will help you keep track of the ratings received by the agents or left by your contacts and accounts over different time periods.

Enabling Happiness Ratings

  2. In the  Setup Landing  page, click  Customer Happiness  under  General .
  3. In the  Customer Happiness page, click Get Started .
  4. In the Rating Configuration  page, provide the following:
    • Rating Question : Enter a question you like to pose to customers, to describe how satisfied they are with your customer service.
    • Ratings : These are the options your customers choose to describe their experience. You are provided with three rating options namely: Good, Bad, and Okay. You can disable the 'Okay' rating if you don't want your customers being neutral.


    • Add Rating Link : This is the link that your customers should click to leave a rating. You can choose to add the link-
      • To every response sent : The link is added to the ticket responses sent by your agents
      • When a ticket is closed : The link is sent over a notification template (Ticket Closed) on closing the tickets
    • Rating Link : You can choose to show or hide the smileys in the rating link. Choose one amongst the following options-
      • Will have rating question alone : The link displays only the question
      • Will have rating question with smileys : The link displays the smileys under the question

    • Show Agent Photo : Enable this option to add the picture of the agent in the rating form.

  5. Click Save .


Note:
  • Customers cannot opt out of receiving rating requests.

  • The rating link is a one-time URL, so customers can't change their rating by accessing it again from their email.

Customizing Rating Options
Personalize the default rating options provided in Zoho Desk. You can customize the smileys, rating text and the response displayed after rating a ticket.
To personalize rating options:
  1. Click the Setup icon (   ) in the top bar.
  2. In the  Setup Landing  page, click  Customer Happiness  under  General .

You can follow the above steps to customize the other rating options provided in Zoho Desk.

Customizing Place Holder for Ratings
The location of the rating placeholder can be customized according to your business requirements. However, its default location depends upon the option you chose, while enabling happiness ratings.
  1. When you opt to add the rating link in all of the ticket responses, the link is displayed just below the signature of an agent. An agent while replying to a ticket, can copy-paste the link anywhere within the reply editor. 
  2. When you opt to send the rating link only on closing a ticket, the link is displayed above the agent's signature in the email notification sent for closed ticket. You can customize its location in 'Closing a Ticket' notification email under Setup.  Please note that the system will automatically enable the closed ticket notifications on selecting this option. You can disable the closed ticket notification, but make sure you've setup a workflow trigger to ask for ratings. 

Leaving a Feedback
Customers can access the rating link to rate their most recent support experience. In the rating page, they can select a rating option and leave a short description of their experience. The feedback page also displays the agent's picture and the business logo to add some personality to your feedback management system.

Viewing Ratings on Tickets
Ratings left by your customers are threaded to the relevant tickets in Zoho Desk. You can view the ratings and its associated feedback by selecting the thread in a ticket. 

Displaying Ratings in Help Center
Show off how good you are in customer service by displaying the rating widget in your Help Center. Your customers can view the overall percentage of Good, Okay and Bad ratings received in your help desk. They can also view the last 100 ratings received. Also, the widget is dynamic that the data is recalculated every time you receive a new rating.

The widget can be displayed by enabling the ' Display Widget in the Help Center ' option under Customer Happiness settings. 

Rating for Tickets Created Over Phone

To send the rating link:

  2. In the  Setup Landing  page, click  Workflows  under  Automation .

This workflow rule triggers the email containing the rating link when tickets are closed.

Ratings for Chat
