Tessy and Surveys

Hi everyone,

I'm wondering if anyone has done surveys in Survey Gizmo and somehow tied them to Tessitura data. What I'm thinking about is this: we do member surveys in Survey Gizmo. Then we have all this data in Tessy - membership history, visit history, etc. etc. Our experience is that customers are horribly inaccurate when you ask them how often they have visited, what their membership history is, etc. So I'd much prefer to use that data out of Tessy instead of asking them about it. But how do we get the data from the two sources together? I can think of two options: 1) Tag the survey responses in Tessy as attributes, and then somehow use lists, extractions, etc to analyze responses, or 2) Upload whatever Tessy data we want into Survey Gizmo after the survey has been closed, as separate questions, so we can use the Gizmo tools to analyze responses. And of course, both options assume that we can somehow tag the Tessy ID number to each response in Gizmo.

Any clues about how to tie the ID to the responses, and/or how to upload data one way or the other? We have Tessitura experts and Survey Gizmo experts, but we've never tried to marry the two this way.

Thanks!

Beth

  • We use Wordfly. So usually the emails are sent via a Tessitura list and Wordfly with the link from Gizmo, just as you can do from Survey Monkey. I'm not sure if we'd have to do that differently to make this work...

    Hi Beth - 

    I'm not familiar with Survey Gizmo but am familiar with Survey Monkey and Wufoo. If you're sending emails out to people asking them to fill out the survey you should be able to embed their Tessie ID into the survey URL which them gets passed as a hidden field in the survey. 

    Looks like Survey Gizmo does this too: http://help.surveygizmo.com/help/article/link/url-merge-codes/ 

    Do you use MailChimp or Wordfly or...?

  • In Wordfly you should be able to add a data field to the end of the survey URL. That Survey Gizmo help page I linked to earlier should give enough info on how the url should be structured but it should look something like this: 

    http://www.surveygizmo.com/s3/12345/my-survey?pid={{##CrmSubscriberId## || null }}

    I hope this helps!
