How to Use ClickUp for Customer Satisfaction Surveys
ClickUp makes it easy to set up structured customer satisfaction surveys, track every response, and turn feedback into clear action items for your team.
This step-by-step guide walks you through planning, creating, and optimizing survey workflows using tools and ideas inspired by the customer satisfaction survey templates shown in the ClickUp customer survey templates guide.
Why Use ClickUp for Customer Feedback Workflows
Before building your survey process, it helps to understand how ClickUp supports the full lifecycle of customer feedback.
- Centralizes all responses in one workspace
- Lets you capture ratings, comments, and follow-ups as tasks or custom fields
- Provides views for tracking satisfaction trends over time
- Turns feedback into assignable action items with due dates
By combining survey questions with organized processes inside ClickUp, you can move from raw feedback to measurable improvements faster.
Step 1: Plan Your Survey Goals in ClickUp
Start by clarifying what you want to measure and how you will use the information. You can mirror this planning directly inside ClickUp.
Define Your Survey Objective
Create a simple planning task named something like “Customer Satisfaction Survey Plan” and document:
- The main goal (e.g., track post-support satisfaction)
- Who will receive the survey (new customers, support contacts, etc.)
- When you will send it (after purchase, after onboarding, quarterly)
- How you will interpret scores and comments
Use the task description or a ClickUp doc to outline your ideas and link any reference material or past surveys.
Choose What You Will Measure
Within the same planning task or doc, list the metrics you want:
- Overall satisfaction rating (1–5 or 1–10 scale)
- Net Promoter Score (NPS) style “likelihood to recommend” question
- Support experience rating
- Product usability rating
- Open-text questions for comments and suggestions
Breaking metrics down early helps you build clean custom fields and views in ClickUp later.
Step 2: Build a ClickUp List for Survey Responses
To manage feedback effectively, create a dedicated structure in ClickUp that stores every response as a trackable item.
Create a Feedback Space or Folder
- Create a new Space or Folder named “Customer Feedback & Surveys.”
- Inside it, create a List called “Customer Satisfaction Survey Responses.”
- Add a short description so your team knows how to use it.
This List will act as the main hub for all survey data you collect.
Set Up Custom Fields in ClickUp
Custom fields let you quickly filter and analyze feedback. Add fields such as:
- Customer Name (text)
- Company (text)
- Email (email or text)
- Overall Satisfaction Score (number)
- NPS Score (number)
- Support Experience Rating (number)
- Survey Date (date)
- Follow-Up Required? (yes/no)
Use clear field names so anyone in ClickUp can understand what each value represents.
Step 3: Design Survey Questions Based on ClickUp Templates
With your structure in place, you can craft questions that match the survey examples from the official ClickUp templates.
Core Rating Questions
Based on the template ideas, include questions like:
- “How satisfied are you with your overall experience?”
- “How likely are you to recommend us to a friend or colleague?”
- “How satisfied are you with the speed of our support?”
- “How would you rate the ease of using our product or service?”
Align each rating question with a matching custom field in ClickUp so you can track scores over time.
Open-Ended Feedback Questions
To collect qualitative feedback, add prompts such as:
- “What did you like most about your experience?”
- “What could we improve?”
- “Is there anything else you’d like to share with us?”
In ClickUp, use the task description or a dedicated long-text custom field to store these written responses.
Step 4: Capture Survey Responses in ClickUp
Once your questions are ready, you need a clear method to move responses into ClickUp so they are easy to review and act on.
Manually Log Responses as Tasks
If you are using simple survey tools or email, you can log each response as a task:
- Create a new task for each completed survey in your “Customer Satisfaction Survey Responses” List.
- Name the task with the customer name and date (e.g., “Acme Inc – Survey – March 5”).
- Fill in all relevant custom fields with ratings and dates.
- Paste open-ended comments into the task description.
This method works well when volume is moderate and you want tight control over recorded data.
Organize Responses with ClickUp Views
Use multiple views in ClickUp to make analysis easier:
- Table View: See all responses and scores in a spreadsheet-style grid.
- List View: Review tasks with key fields visible in the sidebar.
- Calendar View: Visualize when surveys were submitted using the Survey Date field.
Customize visible columns so your team can immediately see the most important metrics.
Step 5: Analyze Survey Results in ClickUp
When responses start to accumulate, ClickUp can help you understand trends and prioritize improvements.
Create Filters and Groups
Use filters on your List or Table view to segment results, for example:
- Filter by low satisfaction scores (e.g., score <= 6)
- Filter by “Follow-Up Required?” = yes
- Group tasks by NPS ranges (Promoters, Passives, Detractors)
This makes it easier to identify at-risk customers or repeating issues.
Turn Feedback into Action Items
When you find patterns in your data:
- Create new tasks or subtasks for each improvement opportunity.
- Assign owners and set due dates directly in ClickUp.
- Link these tasks back to the original survey response tasks for context.
- Use comments to discuss possible solutions and track decisions.
This ensures that every insight is tied to a concrete action your team can deliver.
Step 6: Build a Continuous Survey Process in ClickUp
Consistent feedback is more valuable than one-time surveys. Use ClickUp to create a repeatable process.
Standardize Your Survey Workflow
Document a simple workflow in a ClickUp doc or task checklist:
- When to send the survey
- Who is responsible for monitoring responses
- How frequently results are reviewed
- How improvement tasks are created and tracked
Attach this doc to your main survey List so new team members can follow the process easily.
Review and Improve Regularly
Schedule recurring tasks in ClickUp to:
- Review the latest survey responses
- Summarize key metrics and trends
- Decide new action items based on feedback
- Adjust survey questions when needed
Regular reviews keep your surveys aligned with changing customer needs.
