Qualtrics is an experience management software that provides resources you need to manage, strategize, measure, and impact all aspects of the customer experience for your business.
With the Qualtrics for Zoho Desk extension, you can equip your agents with the ability to provide better customer support by adding templates and sending feedback survey emails automatically. By sending those surveys, you can get feedback from customers which is made available to your agents in Zoho Desk. Additionally, you can create contacts and multiple email templates in your Qualtrics account from Zoho Desk, and define conditions for emails to be triggered automatically based on users' responses.
