Create an Email Invitation Trigger Using Pipedream

Overview

Pipedream is a powerful tool that connects different applications and automates their workflows. The Zoho Survey and Pipedream integration can help you send timely survey emails or set automated workflows based on the actions performed in your configured business application.

How does this work?

Whenever an action configured in Pipedream is performed, an email trigger from Zoho Survey will be initiated.

The action can be anything like account creation, cart abandonment, canceled orders, and similar actions performed in your application. To achieve this, you need to configure this action in Pipedream and set the trigger.

Email triggers are emails that are sent automatically when a configured action is performed successfully. For example, you can send a survey email using this trigger to get feedback from users.

Let's see how this works with a Shopify example.

Use case

Consider you are a business owner who runs a business with Shopify, and you want to know why customers are abandoning their carts or canceling their orders. To know that, you can send a survey to each customer and gather their feedback. However, tracking them and sending surveys might seem tedious. You can automate this process by integrating Pipedream with Zoho Survey. Here, Pipedream displays a list of events from the Shopify application that are applicable for initiating triggers. You can configure the desired event with Zoho Survey to send survey emails. When the event is completed, survey emails are sent automatically.

Creating an email invitation on Zoho Survey

Select the required survey and click the Builder option from the left pane.
Go to the Publish tab.
Select the required collector or click Add New Collector.
For a new collector, under Email Invites by Zoho Survey, click Create, then select the Create Email option to begin composing your invitation.
For an existing collector, click Create Email to begin composing your invitation. Click Next.
Enter the sender information and click Next.
On the Send To screen, select Contacts based on triggers.
Enter the trigger name.
Click Create.

The template for your email invitation trigger has now been created. Open Pipedream to continue the rest of the configuration.
