Shopify Flow: Zigpoll and Joy Loyalty
A guide to automatically reward customers with loyalty points when they complete Zigpoll surveys using Shopify Flow automation.
What is Zigpoll Integration via Shopify Flow
Zigpoll Integration via Shopify Flow allows you to automatically reward customers with loyalty points when they complete surveys created with Zigpoll. This integration uses Shopify Flow's automation capabilities to trigger point awards based on survey completion events, creating a seamless connection between your feedback collection and loyalty program.
The integration works by setting up a Flow automation that listens for Zigpoll survey completion events and automatically awards points to customers through Joy Loyalty's API, encouraging more customers to participate in your surveys and providing valuable feedback.
Why you should use this integration
Customer feedback is invaluable for business growth, but getting customers to complete surveys can be challenging. By integrating Zigpoll with your loyalty program through Shopify Flow, you create a win-win situation where customers are incentivized to provide feedback in exchange for loyalty points.
This integration helps increase survey response rates significantly, as customers see immediate value in participating. The automated nature of the integration means you don't need to manually track survey completions or award points, saving time while ensuring consistent reward distribution. Additionally, the points earned from surveys can drive customers back to your store to redeem their rewards, creating a positive feedback loop that benefits both customer satisfaction and business growth.

FAQs
Can I reward points for partially completed surveys?
This depends on Zigpoll's available triggers. Most integrations reward points only for fully completed surveys, but check Zigpoll's Flow trigger options for partial completion events.
Will customers see immediate point updates?
Points are typically awarded within a few minutes of survey completion. Customers will see the points in their Joy Loyalty account and receive notifications if enabled.
Can I customize the point activity name that appears in customer accounts?
Yes, when setting up the Joy Loyalty action in Flow, you can customize the activity name that will appear in the customer's point history.
What happens if a customer completes the same survey multiple times?
By default, they would receive points each time unless you add conditions to prevent this. Most merchants use customer tags or Flow conditions to limit rewards to one per survey.
Can I integrate this with other survey apps besides Zigpoll?
Yes, Shopify Flow supports many apps with survey capabilities. The setup process is similar - look for the survey app's triggers in Flow and connect them to Joy Loyalty's point award action.
