The Challenge

The Disconnect Between Feedback & Enterprise Operations

In today's fast-paced business environment, collecting customer and employee feedback is only half the battle. Many organizations struggle to translate these valuable insights into tangible actions within their core ERP systems like Epicor, leading to missed opportunities, delayed responses, and a reactive approach to business challenges.

  • Manual data entry of survey results into Epicor is time-consuming and error-prone.
  • Customer and employee feedback remains siloed, failing to inform critical ERP decisions.
  • Delayed responses to negative feedback lead to customer churn and dissatisfaction.
  • Lack of granular data correlation prevents understanding the 'why' behind operational metrics.
  • Product development and service delivery are not directly informed by real-time sentiment.

Technical Integration Details & Implementation Approach

Our integration leverages the strengths of both SurveyMonkey and Epicor APIs, orchestrated by a robust iPaaS, to ensure secure, scalable, and real-time data exchange. The focus is on event-driven architecture and efficient data transformation.

Data Flow Steps

Phase 1: Discovery & Design - Identify key business processes and workflows requiring integration. - Map SurveyMonkey survey structures and data points to Epicor entities and fields. - Define transformation rules, conditional logic, and error handling strategies. - Establish security protocols and PII handling requirements.

Phase 2: iPaaS Configuration & Development - Configure SurveyMonkey and Epicor connectors within the iPaaS. - Design integration flows using the low-code visual editor (trigger, transform, action). - Implement custom variables in SurveyMonkey for data correlation. - Develop data mapping and transformation logic using AI-assisted tools. - Set up webhooks in SurveyMonkey to trigger iPaaS workflows.

Phase 3: Testing & Validation - Deploy integration flows to a dedicated QA environment with SurveyMonkey and Epicor sandboxes. - Conduct unit, integration, and end-to-end testing with realistic data. - Perform load testing to ensure performance under peak conditions. - Validate data accuracy, completeness, and adherence to business rules. - Utilize iPaaS's versioning and rollback capabilities.

Phase 4: Deployment & Monitoring - Promote thoroughly tested integration flows from QA to production. - Configure real-time monitoring dashboards and alerting for integration health. - Establish ongoing maintenance procedures and performance optimization.

Phase 5: Optimization & Expansion - Continuously analyze integration performance and business outcomes. - Identify opportunities for new workflows or enhancements using AI insights. - Expand integrations to other systems as business needs evolve.

Data Mapping

Key Entities & Intelligent Mapping

The success of the integration hinges on accurate and intelligent mapping of critical entities between SurveyMonkey and Epicor. Our iPaaS provides tools to streamline this complex process, ensuring data integrity and actionable insights.

SurveyMonkey Response to Epicor Customer/SalesOrder (Update)

Mapping individual survey responses, including scores and custom variables, to update existing customer or sales order records in Epicor.

SurveyMonkey Fields

[field, response.id],[description, Unique ID for the survey response.] [field, response.date_created],[description, Timestamp of response submission.] [field, response.custom_variables.CustNum],[description, Epicor Customer Number passed as context.] [field, response.custom_variables.OrderNum],[description, Epicor Sales Order Number passed as context.] [field, response.pages[].questions[].answers[].text],[description, Text answer to a question (e.g., open-ended feedback).] [field, response.pages[].questions[].answers[].value],[description, Numerical value for rating questions (e.g., NPS score).]

Epicor Fields

[field, Customer.CustNum],[description, Epicor Customer Number (lookup key).] [field, Customer.SatisfactionScore_c],[description, Custom field for latest NPS/CSAT.] [field, Customer.LastFeedbackDate_c],[description, Custom field for date of last feedback.] [field, Customer.FeedbackNotes_c],[description, Custom field to append key feedback notes.] [field, SalesOrder.OrderNum],[description, Epicor Sales Order Number (lookup key).] [field, SalesOrder.PostPurchaseFeedback_c],[description, Custom field for post-purchase notes.]

Mapping Notes

The `CustNum` and `OrderNum` from SurveyMonkey's `custom_variables` are essential for identifying the target Epicor record. NPS/CSAT scores are typically mapped to custom fields on the `Customer` entity. Open-ended feedback can be summarized and appended to notes fields.

Integration Use Cases

Explore how the integration behaves in real business scenarios, with clearly defined steps, outcomes, and execution patterns.

Automated Post-Service Feedback to Epicor Service Desk

After a service call is closed in Epicor (or an integrated field service solution), automatically send a SurveyMonkey satisfaction survey. Negative feedback triggers a high-priority follow-up task or re-opens the service case in Epicor, ensuring rapid resolution and customer recovery.

Integration Steps:

  1. 0 Epicor: Service Order status changes to 'Closed'.
  2. 1 iPaaS: Epicor BPM (Business Process Management) triggers an event.
  3. 2 SurveyMonkey: iPaaS generates and sends a personalized service feedback survey (with Service Order ID and CustNum as Custom Variables).
  4. 3 SurveyMonkey: Customer submits feedback, potentially with a low satisfaction score.
  5. 4 iPaaS: SurveyMonkey webhook receives the 'Response'.
  6. 5 iPaaS: Parses response, identifies low score and extracts relevant comments.
  7. 6 Epicor: iPaaS creates a new 'Follow-up Task' or re-opens the 'Service Order' in Epicor, assigning it to the appropriate service manager, and updates the Customer record with feedback notes.

Business Outcome

Faster customer recovery, improved service quality, reduced churn, and a more responsive service organization.

Technical Documentation

API Endpoints & Data Logic

Technical details for developers and architects.

Method Endpoint Purpose
GET, POST /v3/surveys Retrieve survey metadata, create surveys.
GET, POST /v3/surveys/{survey_id}/collectors Manage survey distribution links (web links, emails).
GET /v3/surveys/{survey_id}/responses/bulk Efficiently retrieve a large volume of survey responses.
GET, POST, DELETE /v3/webhooks Manage webhooks for real-time notifications.
GET, POST, PUT /v3/contacts Manage contact lists and individual contacts.

⚡ Transformation Logic

  • Custom Variable Extraction: Extract specific Epicor identifiers (e.g., `CustNum`, `OrderNum`, `PartNum`) from SurveyMonkey's `custom_variables` to link responses.
  • Score Normalization: Transform SurveyMonkey's rating scale answers (e.g., 1-5, 0-10 NPS) into a consistent format for Epicor custom fields.
  • Text Summarization/Keyword Extraction: For open-ended text, use AI to summarize key themes or extract specific keywords to populate Epicor notes or trigger flags.
  • Conditional Logic: If NPS score is below a threshold (e.g., < 6), transform to create a 'High Priority' flag in Epicor Customer, or trigger a new service request.
  • Date Formatting: Convert SurveyMonkey `datecreated` to Epicor's required date format for `LastFeedbackDatec`.

🛡️ Error Handling

  • SurveyMonkey webhook payload malformed or missing key data (e.g., custom variables).
  • Epicor API rate limits exceeded, causing temporary rejections.
  • Data validation failures in Epicor (e.g., invalid CustNum, incorrect data type for a custom field).
  • Network connectivity issues between iPaaS and either SurveyMonkey or Epicor.
