Add your survey to Freshdesk Email Notifications

Head over to your Freshdesk account, and navigate to the Admin (gear icon) > Workflows > Email Notifications.

Go to the Requester Notifications tab and choose the Agent Solves the Ticket template.

Paste the survey that you copied at the bottom of the message. Click Save, and you're done!

The survey embed code has a border when you copy and paste it into the email notification.

How to remove the survey borders

To remove the border you have to do the inspect hack.

Right click > select Inspect.

Next, scroll up a few lines and find the <table> element, and click it.

Then, on the right side, uncheck the box that says border 1px solid.
​

Close the inspect window, save the notification template, and you're done!

Try it out!

Create a test ticket with yourself as the requester. Check your email and click any rating that you like. Once you do, new feedback should instantly show up in your Simplesat dashboard. 🎊
