Enabling Happiness Ratings
You must enable happiness ratings to receive feedback from your customers.
To enable happiness ratings:
- Go to Setup (
) > Organization > Customer Happiness.
- In the Customer Happiness page, click Get Started.
- In the Rating Configuration page, provide the following:
- Rating Question: Enter a question you like to pose to customers to describe how satisfied they are with your customer service.
- Ratings: These are the options your customers choose to describe their experience. You are provided with three rating options, namely: Good, Bad, and Okay. You can disable the 'Okay' rating if you don't want your customers to be neutral.
- Add Rating Link: This is the link that your customers should click to leave a rating. You can choose to add the link -
- To every response sent: The link is added to the ticket responses sent by your agents
- When a ticket is closed: The link is sent over a notification template (Ticket Closed) on closing the tickets
- Rating Link: You can choose to show or hide the smileys in the rating link. Choose one amongst the following options -
- Will have rating question alone: The link displays only the question
- Will have rating question with smileys: The link displays the smileys under the question
- Rating link accessible to: Select who can rate tickets and where. Choose one amongst the following options -
- Anyone on the internet: Anyone on the internet with the rating link can view and rate the ticket. This is the default accessibility option for happiness ratings
- Requesters and cc'd users: Requestors and cc'd users can access the rating link on email replies, but not on the Help Center. This option can be an ideal choice if you want to conceal the link from your agents
- End users: End users can access the rating link while others will be prompted to sign up for your help center. End users will include the ticket's original requestor, cc'd users, and other users of the requestor's organization
- Display Widget in the Help Center: Enable this option if you'd like to display the ratings in your Help Center.
- Show Agent Photo: Enable this option to add the picture of the agent in the rating form.
- Reopen Ticket: You can choose to reopen a ticket when it receives a rating. A ticket can be reopened only on having received a negative rating or for all ratings.
- Enable Survey: You can enable happiness ratings for one or more of your departments. Specify the departments from the drop-down menu.

- Click Save.
Note:
- Customers cannot opt-out of receiving rating requests.
- Happiness rating is per response or ticket, and not per customer.
- The rating link is a one-time URL, so customers can't change their rating by re-accessing it from their email.
Customizing Rating Options

Customizing Place Holder for Ratings
The location of the rating placeholder can be customized according to your business requirements. However, its default location depends upon the option you chose, while enabling happiness ratings.
- When you opt to add the rating link in all of the ticket responses, the link is displayed just below the agent's signature. An agent, while replying to a ticket, can copy-paste the link anywhere within the reply editor.
- When you opt to send the rating link only on closing a ticket, the link is displayed above the agent's signature in the email notification sent for a closed ticket. You can customize its location in 'Closing a Ticket' notification email under Setup. Please note that the system will automatically enable the closed ticket notifications on selecting this option. You can disable the closed ticket notification, but make sure you've set up a workflow trigger to ask for ratings.
Leaving a Feedback
Customers can access the rating link to rate their most recent support experience. In the rating page, they can select a rating option and leave a short description of their experience. The feedback page also displays the agent's picture and the business logo to add some personality to your feedback management system.

Ratings left by your customers are threaded to the relevant tickets in Zoho Desk. You can view the ratings and its associated feedback by selecting the thread in a ticket.

The widget can be displayed by enabling the 'Display Widget in the Help Center' option under Customer Happiness settings.
Rating for Tickets Created Over Phone
