Freshdesk and Google Sheets integration

Automate CSAT surveys with Freshdesk & store responses in Google Sheets

Never forget to send a satisfaction survey again! This workflow helps you automatically send CSAT surveys when a Freshdesk ticket is marked “Resolved” – and logs every response in Google Sheets for easy analysis, reporting, and escalation workflows. 💡 Built for CS and ops teams who care about real feedback This template is perfect for: Customer Support Teams who want timely, consistent survey delivery after every resolved ticket. Ops Leads & Admins tired of managing spreadsheets and survey tools manually. Businesses using Freshdesk looking for a no-code feedback loop. Automation fans who want to track, trigger, and take action — automatically. 🧩 What problem does it solve? Manual survey processes are slow, inconsistent, and hard to scale. This automation ensures: Fast survey delivery when experiences are still fresh. No duplicate emails thanks to a built-in tracking system. Centralized feedback in a Google Sheet — no more digging through platforms. Data you can act on, like triggering Slack alerts for poor scores. ⚙️ How it works 📨 Part 1: Auto-send the survey when a ticket is resolved Trigger: Workflow runs on a schedule (or manually via “Test”). Pull ticket status from Freshdesk. Compare ticket status to the last known status in Google Sheets. Detect resolution: If status = “Resolved” (ID 4), move forward. Update the Google Sheet to track that the survey was sent. Fetch the customer’s email from Freshdesk. Create & send the survey email, personalized with ticket info and your brand. Convert Markdown → HTML for a well-formatted email. 📥 Part 2: Collect responses and store in Sheets Form Trigger: Customer clicks the survey link and fills in the form. Capture responses (e.g. rating + comments). Log feedback in a second Google Sheet for analysis. You can extend this by adding escalation steps (e.g. flagging 1–2 star ratings to managers). 🚀 Setup Instructions 🔐 Connect your tools Freshdesk: Add your API credentials to the get tickets and get client nodes.
