The Stella Connect app integration allows you to send automated CSAT surveys from Stella Connect after conversations close in Kustomer. The integration also displays conversations from Kustomer in Stella Connect as interactions under team member profiles. Each interaction displayed in Stella Connect provides links to view conversations back in the Kustomer app and to review any completed survey responses.

Note: The current Stella Connect app version supports surveys for the email channel only. Contact support@kustomer.com to learn more about integrating with other Stella Connect survey channels.

Key integration features

The Stella Connect app uses a custom workflow to do the following:

  • Listen for when a conversation closes in Kustomer: Once configured, the Stella Connect app listens for when a conversation assigned to an agent is closed or marked done.

  • Display and link to the Kustomer conversation in Stella Connect: When a conversation assigned to an agent closes in Kustomer, the app sends the conversation data into Stella Connect. Stella Connect displays the conversation data on your Stella Connect Stream as an interaction under the team member assigned to the conversation. Team member interactions in Stella Connect provide links to access the conversation back in the Kustomer app.

  • Send automated CSAT surveys from Stella Connect: Once configured, the Stella Connect app sends an automated CSAT survey based on when a conversation closes in Kustomer. In the app settings, you can configure the channel for the survey and the delay time between when a conversation closes and when a survey is sent to the customer. You can view completed survey results on team member profiles in Stella Connect.

The integration will work for a closed conversation only if:

  • An email address is available for the customer
  • A conversation closes with an agent assigned
  • The assigned agent has an approved Stella Connect profile

Conversation and survey response data

Once the Stella Connect app is configured, you will be able to view and access Kustomer conversation data and completed survey in your Stella Connect Stream. Learn more about viewing conversation and survey response data for team members in your Stella Connect Stream in the Stella Connect Help Center.

Conversation data

Conversation data from Kustomer will appear as customer interactions under the assigned team member's profile in your Stella Connect Stream. 

For Stella Connect to be able to receive and log closed conversation data, the assigned team member must have valid accounts on both Kustomer and Stella Connect under the same email address.

Survey response data

Completed survey results appear as cards in the Stella Connect Stream and link back to the closed conversation in the Kustomer app. The survey response cards appear under the team member assigned to the conversation as long as the assigned team member has a valid account on both Kustomer and Stella Connect.
