Definition
Salesforce Feedback Management is a solution for collecting, analyzing, and acting on customer feedback across multiple channels, extending the native Salesforce Surveys feature with advanced capabilities. It enables teams to gather CSAT and NPS survey data, map responses directly to Salesforce records, trigger automated follow-up actions, and create personalized customer experiences based on feedback insights.
In plain English
“Salesforce Feedback Management is a solution for collecting, analyzing, and acting on customer feedback across channels. It extends Salesforce Surveys with advanced capabilities for CSAT and NPS collection, mapping responses to records, triggering follow-up actions, and personalizing experiences based on feedback.”
Worked example
Halverstone Software deploys Salesforce Feedback Management to extend native Salesforce Surveys with advanced analytics. Beyond basic CSAT and NPS collection, Feedback Management correlates response trends to specific Account or Case attributes, triggers automated follow-up actions on negative responses (Tasks for the CSM team, Slack alerts for executive escalation), and feeds insights into Sales Cloud and Service Cloud dashboards. Without it, survey responses would land as static records; with it, they drive operational responses tied to the underlying CRM context.
Why Salesforce Feedback Management matters
Salesforce Feedback Management is a solution for collecting, analyzing, and acting on customer feedback across multiple channels, extending the native Salesforce Surveys feature with advanced capabilities. It enables teams to gather CSAT and NPS survey data, map responses directly to Salesforce records, trigger automated follow-up actions, and create personalized customer experiences based on feedback insights.
Feedback Management goes beyond basic surveys by connecting feedback to CRM data and actions. When a customer provides negative feedback, the system can automatically create a follow-up task, escalate the case, or trigger a recovery workflow. Mature feedback programs treat customer feedback as operational data that drives action, not just sentiment scores on a dashboard.
How to set up Salesforce Feedback Management
Salesforce Feedback Management (formerly Surveys+) extends native Salesforce Surveys with advanced capabilities — multi-language surveys, sentiment analysis on responses, NPS-with-segmentation, deeper integration with Service Cloud / Sales Cloud workflows. Paid add-on; replaces the 300/month free Surveys cap with unlimited usage plus richer features.
- Confirm Feedback Management licensing
Setup → Feedback Management. If Salesforce Surveys is enabled but the Feedback Management features are missing, the paid SKU isn't licensed.
- Open Setup → Feedback Management Settings
Setup gear → Quick Find: Feedback Management → Settings.
- Enable advanced features
Multi-language / Sentiment Analysis / Custom Themes / Embed in Email / etc. Each is a toggle.
- Build advanced surveys via the Survey Builder
Same Survey Builder as native Surveys, but with extra question types and design themes.
- Configure Sentiment Analysis
Tick on per-question. Salesforce auto-categorizes free-text responses as positive / neutral / negative.
- Distribute via Lightning Email Templates / Embedded Surveys / Auto-distribution on Case Close
Various distribution channels. Auto-distribution on Case Close is a paid-feature win for measuring CSAT.
- Build Reports + Dashboards on Survey Responses + Survey Question Responses
Standard report types ship with FBM. Build per-channel CSAT / NPS dashboards.
Same survey, multiple languages auto-translated.
Auto-classify free-text responses.
Branded survey design.
Trigger surveys from Salesforce automation.
- Feedback Management is paid; native Salesforce Surveys (free) caps at 300 responses/month. Crossing the cap on free tier silently drops responses — upgrade before scaling.
- Sentiment Analysis isn't perfect. Sarcasm / industry jargon / multi-language responses can mislead. Spot-check classifications before basing decisions on aggregate sentiment.
- Auto-distribution on Case Close fires on every closed Case by default. Without filtering, some customers get surveyed multiple times — rate-limit per-customer.
