General Notifications

Overview

A notification is a way to apprise you (WXM Users) that something has happened and you don’t miss as anything might be worth your or your teams attention. The notification is always accompanied with details so that the user have visibility and can decide as to what action is required.

A notification can be configured to be triggered via:

• Email Alert
• Loop Closure Ticket
• SMS Alert
• Send Email to Customers
• API Post URL
• Mailchimp
• Nexmo
• Kookoo
• Exotel
• Azure Queue

There are two types of Notifications that can be configured in the platform. They are:

• Response Notification- Response based notification is the type of notification where the system alerts or notifies the user(s) once customer response to the survey questions in a way that it meets the notification conditions logic configured in the system. This notification can be triggered via multiple channels like Email, SMS, etc. each time someone answers a survey question with a specific answer.

• Trend Notification- Trend based notification is the type of notification by which user(s) can be informed in case any trend changes across NPS or response rates. An email can be triggered to the user(s) if the NPS or Response rate is trend is fluctuating (Going down or Going up) by certain percentage (%) Daily, Weekly, Fortnightly or Monthly.

Configuration & Setup

To configure the notifications go to CX Setup > Account Settings > General Notifications as shown in the screenshot below.

To create a new Response Notification click on New Response Notification button as shown below.

A window will open where you can set the notification conditions.

Pause Notification- You can toggle on the Pause button incase you do not want the system to send alerts to the user(s). Pause will deactivate the notification until the button is Toggled Off.

Notification Name- Enter the name of the notification in the Notification Name field that the user wants to provide for its understanding. This notification name shows up in the subject line of the email that the user receives.

Questionnaires- Select the Questionnaire(s) for which you would like the user to receive the notification for from the dropdown list as shown below.

Notification Conditions-Add multiple conditions in a single notification block and add multiple condition blocks to create complex segments of conditions.When these conditions are met based on the defined logic then notifications get triggered.

The Logic here refers to the condition that a respondent must meet in order for the notification or alert to get triggered.In the notification condition section you will see various dropdown menus like question, response and options that determine the condition parameters. For example: In the below screenshot if the NPS (Question) is Less than (Response) 7 (Select a Number or option) then user should be notified.

You can have multiple blocks and define multiple conditions as shown below. In order to Add Multiple Conditions the logic requires more complex conditions. These conditions can be connected with an AND conjunction or with an OR conjunction.

AND Conjunction- If the conditions are linked by ‘AND’, it means both conditions must be met. OR Conjunction-If conditions are linked by ‘OR’, that means either condition can be met.

There are various ways by which you can deg=fine the logics. Use Case with Simple Logic - this is where you can use single notification block and add multiple conditions using AND and OR logic.

An example use case of the notification will be that if the customer responds to the survey questions in a way that if (NPS < 7 AND Location- is Philippines, Singapore AND Age Group is 30-35, Under 25) then notify the user via email as shown below.

he right panel of the window shows the Condition Summary based on the blocks configured as shown in the screenshot below.

With Test Conditions you can view past responses that will trigger this notification based on the set condition. Choose the date range as shown below to view the test responses for that period in the past.

Use Case with Complex Logic - This can be achieved by having multiple conditions blocks as shown below. When you use multiple blocks then all the conditions define in the blocks are evaluated together.The Blocks can also be linked with an AND conjunction or with an OR conjunction.

Example use case: Block-1: If (Age Group is Under 25 AND Location- is Philippines) Block-2: OR (Age Group is 30-35 AND Location- is Singapore) then notify the user via email as shown below.

Once the conditions are configured then click on ‘Next’ button as shown below.
