Campaign surveys vs event-triggered feedback.

Both approaches can collect customer feedback. The useful choice depends on what starts the request, how much coordination it requires, and what your team needs to do with the response.

Campaigns begin with a sending decision

A campaign normally asks someone to choose an audience, prepare a questionnaire, and decide when to send it. This can suit research, announcements, or a deliberate check-in with a selected group.

It also creates recurring work when every customer interaction needs a follow-up.

Event-triggered feedback begins with the experience

An event-triggered workflow receives a completed appointment and starts the next step automatically. The question, timing, reminder, response, and record can follow the same dependable path each time.

This is a good fit for ongoing post-appointment feedback where the booking system already holds the needed appointment and customer context.

Choose the workflow that matches the job

  • Choose a campaign when you need a custom research project or a manually selected audience.
  • Choose event-triggered feedback when every completed appointment should have the same simple follow-up.
  • Use a focused NPS workflow when the team needs a fast signal and optional explanation rather than a long questionnaire.
  • Keep the result connected to the appointment so a team can understand the customer context before acting.

Make feedback follow the appointment.

Reply Kindly is built around completed-appointment events rather than campaign management.
