Question 1

What manual work around Starred can be automated?

Accepted Answer

Feedback collection and People Experience survey triggers can be automated based on employee lifecycle events, such as sending feedback requests after onboarding, at performance review cycles, or before offboarding. You can automate the distribution of surveys to relevant contacts and route feedback responses to other systems without manual intervention. Common automation includes triggering feedback workflows based on records created or updated in connected HR or people management tools, reducing the need for manual outreach each cycle.

Question 2

How does data move between Starred and other business tools?

Accepted Answer

Starred connects to other platforms through API integrations, allowing feedback data and People Experience metrics to flow into or out of your ecosystem. Survey responses and feedback records can be pushed to data warehouses, CRM systems, or HR platforms for analysis and reporting. Data typically moves on a trigger basis, such as when a survey is completed or feedback is submitted, ensuring your connected tools stay current with the latest People Experience information.

Question 3

What breaks or causes problems when automating Starred workflows?

Accepted Answer

Automations may fail if contact records lack required fields (like email addresses) needed to send surveys or feedback requests. Timing mismatches can occur when automations fire before records are fully created or synced in Starred, resulting in missing or incomplete feedback. Duplicate feedback requests can happen if multiple automation rules trigger on the same event without proper deduplication logic, leading to survey fatigue among recipients.

Question 4

How should we structure Starred to make automations reliable?

Accepted Answer

Ensure all contact records in Starred have complete and consistent data, including email addresses and relevant attributes that automation rules depend on. Map out your People Experience workflows and identify which events should trigger feedback collection, then configure these conditions clearly in Starred before building automations. Use consistent naming conventions for surveys, feedback types, and contact segments so automation rules target the right records, and regularly audit your automation logic to prevent unintended duplicate requests.
