Automate surveys

Admins can use automation to trigger workflows within the organization, initiating a series of automated actions based on specific conditions they set. Learn more in Add and manage automation workflow.

Automating surveys helps admins by saving time, streamlining data collection, improving response rates, and providing real-time insights for faster decision-making.

You can add workflows for conducting surveys within the organization.

Navigate to Settings > Automation.

  1. Click Add Workflow and type the workflow title.
  2. Select a trigger point to trigger the automation.

The following trigger types are available:

  • If you select Time Based, set the period and frequency. You can set frequencies to daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, or annually.
  • If you select the User actions, select a trigger point Added, Updated, or both.

Note: If you select the trigger point as Updated, ensure that you update the user profiles, allowing the workflow to run according to the set conditions.

  3.   In the Conditions field, set the condition and select the operator as required for which the automation should trigger.

Click + Add Condition to add multiple conditions as required.

You can select multiple conditions, including default and custom employee fields, such as job title, reporting manager, date of hire, departments, and business units as required.

Note: After adding a workflow, if certain employee fields associated with a workflow condition are deleted or archived, you will receive an error message when manually running the workflow and adding or updating the users' profiles, directing you to check the configurations of the employee fields.

  4.   Toggle the button to All or Any to automate the workflow when these conditions are satisfied.

When you select

  • All: The trigger should satisfy all the specified conditions.
  • Any: The trigger should satisfy any of those conditions.

  5.   In the Actions field, click the drop-down and select Assign survey.
