With eDesk's Feedback add-on, you can instruct eDesk to email your customers with a pre-written request for feedback. You create a Feedback request by putting your message into a Feedback template and setting up some conditions.

01 Personalizing with snippets

You can personalize any Feedback message by including customer snippets, which you can use to pull in information about the customer's order. 

To include a snippet, type # into the Message field to prompt display of a list of snippets, and click on a snippet in the list to insert it into your message.

Pro Tip: Typing # and then the name of the snippet will take you straight to that snippet in the list.

Here's an example of a Feedback template that includes a snippet for #product_name# and which also shows how entering # opens the snippets listing so that we can add the snippet #feedback_link#. When the message is sent out to the customer, the snippets will be replaced by the actual product name and a hyperlink to the Feedback Form.

02 Amazon snippet restrictions

eDesk provides a generic set of Feedback snippets, and you can also create your own custom ones. However, for Amazon orders, there are some restrictions on the snippets you can use in your feedback requests. This is because Amazon don't allow some types of information in customer communications.

Note: Amazon place strict restrictions on customer communications. We recommend that you read this article, which explains how to make sure that your messages comply with Amazon's Buyer-Seller Messaging Policy, and also this article, which tells you how to stay within your Amazon Feedback Quota.
