Which ratings does Dispute send?

Dispute sends the ratings that count against your CSAT score: any rating your Zendesk survey counts as Negative. Ratings Zendesk counts as Positive don't lower the score, so Dispute doesn't send them.

It follows your survey settings

  • It works with any scale or style: numbers, emoji or your own wording.
  • On Zendesk's 5-point survey, 1, 2 and 3 count as Negative by default, and 4 and 5 as Positive.
  • Your CSAT score in Zendesk is the share of Positive ratings, so Dispute sends exactly the ratings that lower it.
