In this article, you will learn how to send surveys via Intercom chat while conversing with customers. We will go through the process of creating and implementing your survey smoothly, making it easy to gather customer feedback, insights, and concerns.
When conducting a survey during a chat with a customer, choosing the appropriate moment is essential. Avoid overwhelming them with a survey at the start of the conversation or when they're feeling frustrated. Instead, wait for a natural pause in the conversation or until after resolving any issues. This approach will make customers more likely to participate and give thoughtful responses.
