Manual follow-up can leave fresh survey responses waiting in a dashboard while the respondent’s attention moves elsewhere. SurveyMars users can act on a submitted response by sending a text through Mobile Message, thanking someone for their feedback or directing them to the next step. A new survey can also create a contact record when your team needs the respondent available in Mobile Message.

SurveyMars includes Get Responses and Get Surveys triggers. Pair Get Responses with Send SMS for a prompt acknowledgement, or use Create Contact when a response contains a phone number and your consent process allows further contact. Get Surveys can also trigger a text to an internal recipient when a new survey is created. This connection runs through Zapier, so you can select the relevant SurveyMars fields and decide which event should start each workflow.

The most useful setup depends on how your surveys are used. Keep customer messages short and specific, and use filters in Zapier when only certain response values should lead to an SMS. Mobile Message actions handle the text or contact record, while SurveyMars remains the place where survey data is collected.
