Re-send Survey

I often need to re-issue the NPS survey that’s been sent via Gainsight - the only way I’ve found to do this so far, is to create an entirely new distribution list.

Is there a way that I can simply resend to an individual who’s already been included within a Program?

I have a feeling the answer is no, and if that’s the case, it really is hugely inconvenient.

Hi @JamieRobson, I would request you to please elaborate on the use case a little bit. In the mean while I would try to answer the best based on my current understanding. Assuming you have the exact same flow for your recurring NPS for a given period (let's say each quarter) you could create the first time distribution list from a Report exported CSV or Query Builder based on your preference and then have another source on the Participants object itself filtered to your need; scheduled based on your requirement with a re-entry criteria to allow completed participants to re-enter and an advanced criteria blocking them to re-enter before the next quarter per se.

- The scheduled source would take care of bringing the participants who have already been sent the NPS.

- The re-entry criteria allows the same participants to enter the same Program once again simulating a loop.

- The advanced criteria blocks them to re-enter too soon and postpones the entry to after the required number of days/months.

The person was included in the original Program - they have been sent an email, which they’ve opened but since lost.  

 

All I want to do is simply re-send the original email, without having to mess around creating new lists or filters.  It’s an ad-hoc requirement based on an individual “not receiving” the original email.

 

Does that make sense?

You might be able to re-share using Email Assist from a CTA in Cockpit:

I think there might be a limitation if the template has an in-line question, so in that case you may need to make a different template.

There is already a provision of sending a reminder email for a general use case to all the participants who do not respond in a given period of time.

But given a scenario where you would just want to resend the survey to a very limited set of participants based on the need, there are multiple ways to achieve it. Here are a few :

- You can create a CTA for non respondents from JO itself and then send them adhoc emails via GS assist functionality.

- You can make note of the Survey URL token from the participant object for that person and reshare/resend the email.

I think a good enhancement would be to go into a program and be able to resend surveys to completed participants whom have not responded using a specific email template or pull from one of the already used survey email steps. Then this could be indicated in the participant activity indicating a manual one off send.

Thanks everyone, @ashish_ahuja had the solution for me!

It’s a bit frustrating that there is no “Resend Survey” button somewhere, I can’t understand that - but hopefully something that can be added in future.

We often find ourselves needing to resend an email, including survey emails, sent via the CTA email assist.  I second the request for a “resend” button on emails/surveys already sent.  The newly released “share via email” from the timeline is great for resending emails, but it appears the survey links don’t work.

When I’m looking at the survey participants, I see the survey url and the token, but not any kind of unique Survey URL token that I can grab and put into an email.  Is there a way to hack the URL? Or another field I should be searching for?
