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

  1. Go to Settings → Accounts → Fields (or the equivalent Project fields configuration).

  2. Create a Text type project field:

    • Field name: Form URL

  3. 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.

  1. Go to Templates → Projects.

  2. Open the relevant project template.

  3. Select the feedback form task.

  4. Go to the Automations tab.

  5. 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.

  1. 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.

  1. 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)

  1. 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.

  1. Go to Settings → Automations (global automations).

  2. 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:

  1. Task

    • Select the task before the form task, for example the phase completion task that should precede feedback.

  2. Task status

    • Condition: Task status is exactly "Completed"

  3. Completed At

    • Condition: Completed At is more than 7 days ago

  4. 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)

  1. 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.
