Creating triggers that email surveys automatically

Use this procedure to create the triggers that enable Agent Connect to email surveys to customers automatically when tickets in Salesforce are closed. The managed package allows for the use of multiple base objects.

1. Create a custom lookup field on the Stella Connect Request object.

   This field looks up the base object used to track customer interactions. You must create a custom lookup field for each object used to trigger Agent Connect requests.

   Note: Skip this step for base objects of the types Tasks and Events, since custom lookups are not available for those Salesforce object types.
   1. In the Quick Find field in Salesforce Setup, enter Object, then find and select Stella Connect Request.
   2. Select New > Lookup Relationship.
   3. From the dropdown menu, select your base object.
   4. Enter a field name.

      For example, you might name the field Case_Lookup if the base object is case.

   5. In the Description field enter a description such as, The object that triggers a Stella Connect Request.
   6. Click Next.
   7. Set your field-level security.
   8. Click Next, and then click Save.
2. Create a DateTime field on each base object to store the trigger.

   This field identifies when an interaction is eligible for a Agent Connect feedback request.

   1. For the Field label, enter Send Stella Connect Request at.
   2. For the Description, enter This is the time at which an object becomes eligible to receive a Stella Connect Request.
   3. Click Next.
   4. Set your field-level security.
   5. Click Next, and then click Save.
3. For each base object, create a trigger (workflow or process builder) that populates the previously created DateTime field, based on actions that your team members complete.

   In the workflow, include the business logic to include and exclude interactions from sending surveys. For example, If you want all cases eligible for survey requests as soon as they are closed, your workflow would populate the custom DateTime field with the time that the case was closed.

   1. In the Quick Find field in Salesforce Setup, enter Workflow, and then select Workflow Rules.
   2. Select New Rule, and then select your base object.
   3. For the Rule Name, enter Send Stella Connect Request.
   4. For the Description, enter Sets the Send Stella Connect Request DateTime field.
   5. Enter the following Rule Criteria:
      • Case Closed equals true
      • Case Contact Email not equal to "leave this blank"
      • Add Any additional business logic as needed. For example, if agents sometimes assign cases to queues after they closing the case, you might enter a criteria of Case Owner is not "Queue Name".
   6. Click Save, and then click Next.
   7. Select Add new workflow action > New field update.
   8. For the Name, enter Set Stella Connect Request DateTime.
   9. For the Description, enter Sets the DateTime field.
   10. For the Field to update, select your newly created custom DateTime field.
   11. To set the new value, select Use a formula, and then enter the formula NOW().
   12. Click Save, and then click Done.
   13. Activate the workflow rule.

Creating field mappings

For your base objects, create field mappings that inform Agent Connect where to find the information required to send a feedback request.

1. In the Stella Connect Configuration app, open the Field Mapping tab.
2. In the dropdown, select your base object, and then click Active.

   

3. Map other fields for the base object.

   For list of common field mappings, see the list below.

4. If you have more then one base object, click the plus icon to add field mappings for that object, and then repeat the previous steps.

Common field mappings

Testing the integration

Testing provides an opportunity to confirm that the field mappings and workflow you configured are behaving as expected. The test period should be long enough to experience all types of use cases and variations of the triggers you configured. Work with your Agent Connect Client Success Manager to fully test your integration, and to resolve any issues.

During testing, all surveys are sent to the address entered in the API Test Email field on the Agent Connect Integrations screen. This enables you to see what your customers see when they receive a survey. You can step through the customer experience selecting a star rating, commenting, and so on.

When testing, Agent Connect does not collect responses. Agents can send requests manually during testing.

To enable testing in the Agent Connect Configuration app, set the Requests Auto-triggering field to Test.

Moving the integration to production

When your testing is complete, and everything is working as expected, move your integration to production.

1. In the Agent Connect Configuration app, set the Requests Auto-triggering and Data Return fields to Production.

   

2. In Agent Connect, open the Integrations setup screen.
3. For each channel you integrated, switch that field to On, and then click Update.

   

Creating a Do Not Send Agent Connect Survey field

Although Medallia recommends that all resolved cases receive a Agent Connect request, there might be some occasions when a survey should not be sent. When this is needed, it is still beneficial to make a Agent Connect API request for reporting about how many requests are skipped because of business rules or agent discretion.

To take advantage of this optional feature, create a new custom Boolean field on your target object. This field can be filled either manually by an agent or programmatically with a formula, as needed by your organization. Agent Connect sends a survey request unless this Boolean value is explicitly set to true. Map that new field in the Field Mappings tab of the Salesforce Agent Connect Configuration app.
