Hively App Review

April 30, 2013 By Chase Clemons 6 Comments

This is part of a series on apps and tools that will make your support life so much easier.  

Hively lets customers share their thoughts with you every step of the way. It’s kinda like Smiley, the app we use at 37signals to see what our customers are thinking after they read our email. Instead of building it from scratch like we did, you can just plug Hively into your support app and be ready to go in just a few minutes.

How it works

Every person has their own unique code that goes at the end of the emails they send out to your customers. Customers click on the link and share what they thought about the experience. Your team gets to see what the customer’s thinking, which helps deliver a better overall support experience.

Team members get ratings just like you’d expect. Hively even tracks those stats for useful analytics and leaderboards. It’s handy for seeing which of your team members is rocking it out that week.

Final Thoughts

Hively’s definitely a handy little app to have. It’s a super easy set up that you can be rocking within three minutes and will help make your team better.

Stop waiting and go set it up.

    We’re fans of Hively at Buffer! 🙂 It helps provide the support team with honest and personal feedback. Customers have the privacy of writing anonymously, but can choose to share identities if they prefer. I think that one is key to getting honest and productive feedback you can act on!

      I’m always mixed on that anonymous option. If a customer doesn’t share their identity but does still have some troubles, it’s tough to figure out which person they are.

      Does Buffer get a lot of anonymous reviews through Hively?

    Think the smiley link is broken, needs an http:// in front of it. 🙂 Otherwise great stuff, that Smiley page is beautiful as well.
