Use this workflow to automatically remind project stakeholders to submit a feedback or CSAT form one week after a phase is completed, only if the form has not been submitted yet.
This setup uses:
Two project level custom fields
Two template level automations on the feedback form task
One global scheduled automation that sends the reminder email
Step 1: Create Required Custom Fields
Go to Settings → Accounts → Fields (or the equivalent Project fields configuration).
Create a Text type project field:
Field name: Form URL
Create a Boolean type project field:
Field name: Form Submitted
These fields store the form link and whether a response has been received.
Step 2: Store the Form URL When the Form Is Created
Configure this on the feedback form task inside the project template.
Go to Templates → Projects.
Open the relevant project template.
Select the feedback form task.
Go to the Automations tab.
Click Create automation.
Configure the first automation:
Trigger: When form created
Action: Update project fields
Field to update: Form URL
Update type: Replace value
Value:
Click into the value box, type {{ to open Smartfill.
Select the option that inserts the share URL for the form.
Save the automation.
This ensures the project’s Form URL field always holds the correct feedback form link.
Step 3: Mark the Form as Submitted When a Response Is Received
Create a second automation on the same feedback form task.
On the feedback form task → Automations tab, click Create automation again.
Configure the second automation:
Trigger: New form response
Action: Update project fields
Field to update: Form Submitted
Update type: Replace value
Value: Yes (or True, depending on configuration)
Save the automation.
This flips the project’s Form Submitted flag once any response is received.
Step 4: Create a Global Scheduled Reminder Automation
Create a scheduled automation that checks once per day which projects need a reminder.
Go to Settings → Automations (global automations).
Click Create automation.
Configure the trigger:
Trigger type: On schedule
Scope: Tasks
Schedule:
Example: Every day at 8:00 AM
Adjust time as required.
Configure the conditions:
Task
Select the task before the form task, for example the phase completion task that should precede feedback.
Task status
Condition: Task status is exactly "Completed"
Completed At
Condition: Completed At is more than 7 days ago
Form Submitted (project field)
Condition: Form Submitted is False (no response yet)
Configure the action:
Action: Send email
Recipient: choose the appropriate recipient (for example, project owner, CSM, or internal admin who should follow up).
Email content: include:
Context that the feedback form is pending
The form link by inserting the Form URL project field (via Smartfill)
Save the automation.
This automation runs every day, finds tasks that were completed more than a week ago, checks whether the feedback form has been submitted, and sends a reminder email only when Form Submitted is still false.
