What This Workflow Does
This automation solves the challenge of collecting detailed customer feedback after initial form submissions. Many businesses use Google Forms for lead capture or service requests, but miss the opportunity to gather deeper satisfaction insights afterward.
The workflow automatically sends Zonka Feedback SMS surveys whenever new Google Forms responses arrive. This creates a seamless two-stage feedback process: initial data collection through forms, followed by targeted SMS questions about the customer experience. The system eliminates manual work while increasing response rates by 3-5x compared to email surveys.
How It Works
1. New Google Form submission triggers the workflow
The automation monitors your Google Forms for new responses. Each submission initiates the process with the respondent's contact details and form answers.
2. Data maps to Zonka Feedback parameters
Key fields from the Google Form (like phone number, customer type, or service details) transfer to Zonka Feedback to personalize the survey experience.
3. SMS survey sends automatically
Zonka Feedback dispatches an SMS survey to the customer within minutes of form submission while their experience is fresh. The message includes a tracking link for detailed feedback.
4. Responses sync back to your systems
Survey results automatically return to your CRM or spreadsheet, creating a complete customer journey record from initial contact through service feedback.

- Service appointments (salons, repairs, consultations)
- Event registrations (conferences, classes, tours)
- Product orders or reservations

Ideal for teams wanting to measure customer satisfaction without manual survey distribution. Particularly valuable when immediate feedback impacts service quality or operational adjustments.
