Accessing the SurveySparrow Insights widget in Jira
The SurveySparrow Insights widget showcases recent responses of any survey that’s embedded in the ticket (up to 50), as well as the aggregate metrics of a CX survey (eg: NPS breakdown). If the ticket was created from responses to a survey, the widget will also show you the parent responses.
Note: You can only access it if the ticket has been created from survey responses and/or if a survey has been embedded in the ticket.
1. To access it, scroll through the actions section inside a ticket. When you see the SurveySparrow tile, click to expand it.
2. Since the ticket in this screenshot originated from a set of responses, you can click View Response to look at the parent responses.
3. If you have embedded a survey in the ticket, you will also be able to view the aggregate metrics and responses. In case you have embedded multiple surveys, you can click on the drop-down to switch between each survey’s insights.
4. To get more information about the responses, click on the arrow to be redirected to your SurveySparrow account.
The SurveySparrow app for Jira keeps your team focused on customer feedback by bringing it where they work. Now they can effectively plan and collaborate to fix critical issues and keep customers happy.
