This API is designed to allow uploading of a single customer response record directly into CustomerGauge. You can post information like score, comment, self-select reasons/drivers, survey completed date, and more, along with your customer data.
Good to know
API response format:
Our APIs return data in either JSON or XML format (depending on request by .json or .xml).
Required fields & field validations:
Based on your system's configuration, some fields may be required, or need to be in a specific format.
Contact your Customer Success Manager when in doubt.
Usually, the following validations apply:
- Datetime is required and in YYYY-mm-dd H:i:s format.
- Email is required for the upload to be valid
Interacting with drivers:
Self-select reasons/drivers used in your survey are referred to as Reason Codes. Each self-select reason has a unique reason code. Please contact your Customer Success Manager for the reason codes for your self-select reasons.
