Automatically collect feedback at the end of each support thread — so you can spot issues early, improve team performance, and show customers you’re listening.

Customer feedback is only available on our Grow and Scale tiers. If you are interested in using this feature please reach out to use on sales@plain.com.

What you can do with CSAT

  • Capture sentiment from customers with a one-click survey sent after a thread is marked as done.
  • See feedback at a glance — who responded, what they said, and which thread it relates to.
  • Create multiple feedback forms to segment your surveys (e.g. Enterprise vs everyone else).
  • Track and improve with CSAT reporting that breaks down ratings and comments.

Where it works

CSAT surveys work across all channels — Slack, Discord, Email, Chat, Microsoft Teams, Portal, and API.

We’ll send the survey natively in Slack, and as an email for all other channels. Wherever the conversation happens, you can follow up with a feedback request.

How it works

Once a thread is marked as Done, Plain sends a short survey asking the customer how the support experience went — they can rate it positive, neutral, or negative, and leave an optional comment.

All responses are stored and visible:

  • In the thread sidebar, so your team can see feedback in context.
  • In Reporting > CSAT, so you can view response trends over time or view individual feedback.

Customising surveys

You can create and manage multiple CSAT surveys to target different parts of your customer base.

You can:

  • Customise the survey message.
  • Set a delay before sending (e.g. 15 minutes after a thread is marked Done).
  • Control frequency so customers aren’t asked to rate every thread.

To get started

  1. Go to Settings → Customer survey
  2. Click “New customer survey
  3. Set your rules, and you’re done

Best practices

  • Start small. Set up one general-purpose survey before adding segmentation.
  • Review feedback regularly. Use the CSAT report to spot trends and act on negative feedback.
  • Be respectful. Use the “Time between surveys” feature to avoid over-surveying your customers.
