Surveys: does this solve the use where we would want to send a link to a customer to fill out a survey, and it would tie to their Scorecard?

Colin - Can you provide details on what you mean by tie to their scorecard?  There is not a specific feature in surveys to do this but it is possible.  https://support.gainsight.com/Product_Documentation/Scorecards/Examples_and_Tutorials/Configure_Scorecard_Rules_for_Sentiment_Risk_(1.0) This article outlines an approach you can use - we refer to it as "Sentiment".
