Macorva allows you to capture feedback on a wide range of subjects. Note that a Macorva survey can include any or all of the following:
- Brand experience - Typically this is a Net Promoter Score (NPS) question, such as "How likely are you to recommend us to a friend or colleague?"
- Customer experience - Also known as customer satisfaction (CSAT), this is typically a question on how much the customer liked their visit, training session, support, etc.
- Customer effort score- Also known as CES, this typically is a question to determine how much effort is required on the part of the customer to achieve satisfaction in their experience.
- Employee experience - If one or more employees had a meaningful interaction, you can directly ask the customer to rate them. Macorva will show the employee's first name and profile picture.
- Product experience - This is a great way to get feedback on a product that a customer has used, consumed, etc.
- Open comments - Comments can tell a full story. Macorva recommends that common topics are added to positive and negative attributes so they can be directly tracked and trended.

Macorva uses magic links, or sign-in links, to provide access. This is more secure than traditional username / password log-ins and integrates user authentication without additional steps.
Optional: SSO / Okta Support
Some companies have SSO setup for their Macorva accounts. If your company has this option enabled, you may notice that you do not have to log in when you go to company.macorva.com. Note that the magic links we send to your email and phone will still work on personal devices, without requiring you to be logged in through your main company account.
To complete a survey or view results, simply click the link included in your email or text notification from Macorva. Clicking this link logs you in and automatically directs you to your open survey or personal results dashboard.
To request a new sign-in link:
- Go to app.macorva.com, enter in your company email address, and click Send a new sign-in link.
- Check your email or phone for a message from Macorva.
- Click the link in this message to sign in.
You can generate a new sign-in link at any time by going to app.macorva.com.

Configuring Macorva's org chart is your first step when implementing both EX and CX plans. With the org chart, employees can see how your organization is structured, find the right person to contact for a project, look up contact information, review survey results, and more.
Our visual presentation helps employees put a name to a face, keeps your organization connected, and promotes transparency between leadership and employees. It's also the most flexible way to review EX survey results for yourself and your teams.
ADP integration
Macorva's integration with ADP completely automates org chart setup and management. After purchase, Macorva's customer support team will enable syncing with your ADP account. From there, Macorva will sync with your ADP system hourly based on any changes you've made and perform a full sync weekly.
If you notice any discprepancies, email support@macorva.com.

Recommended: Click Download org chart to download an editable *.csv template. The column titles in this file are already mapped to the correct contact variable. Just copy/paste your employee details into the file, save, upload under the Import people from CSV option, and click Update org chart.

While many other customer survey tools focus on product ratings, net promoter scores, or location and service ratings, Macorva lets you do all of this while also capturing employee-specific feedback.
This feedback is immediately collated, presented to that employee on their dashboard, and used by Radiant AI to provide professional development suggestions specifically tailored to that employee. See examples of what data and action planning suggestions may look like in Macorva.

It's common for customers to put off filling out surveys a day or more after receiving their initial survey notification. One easy way to jog their memory is by sending a quick reminder.
Macorva makes it easy to configure and send reminder notifications on a per survey basis to help drive increased participation rates without annoying your customers.
For example, if you're sending a reminder for a simple transaction we recommend sending only one reminder. However, for more extensive interactions like a car rental or in home consultation, you may want to send 2-3 reminders spaced over a week.
To configure reminders on your survey:
- Log in as an admin.
- Find your survey to edit by searching or create a new survey.
- Go to Customer Communication and edit.
You can turn on/off, set the maximum number of reminders, frequency between reminders, and customize your messaging (uncheck default to customize).
