Can I use a different form tool?

The template is built for Google Forms, but you can swap the trigger for Typeform's webhook trigger with minor field-mapping changes.

What if I get zero responses some weeks?

The digest still sends with an honest 'no responses this week' rather than silently failing.

AI Customer Survey Insights Digest

Every survey response you collect is logged to a Google Sheet the moment it's submitted. Once a week, AI reads through all of that week's ratings and comments and writes a short digest: overall sentiment, the most common themes, and a few standout quotes worth reading — so you actually absorb the feedback instead of skimming a spreadsheet.

Automation flow

Step 1

Response Collected

Every survey submission is logged to Sheets in real time.

Step 2

Weekly Read

Every Friday, the workflow reads the last 7 days of responses.

Step 3

AI Analysis

Ratings and comments are sent to AI, which identifies themes, sentiment, and standout quotes.

Step 4

Deliver Digest

A digest with average rating, themes, and quotes is emailed and posted to Slack.

How it works

1Every time someone submits your survey, their response is logged as a new row in your sheet immediately.
2Every Friday at 3pm, the workflow reads all responses from the last 7 days.
3The ratings and comments are sent to the AI, which identifies the main themes, overall sentiment, and pulls out a few standout direct quotes.
4You get a digest by email and/or Slack — average rating, top themes, and the quotes worth reading, without having to read every response yourself.
