Automate CSAT surveys with Freshdesk & store responses in Google Sheets

Pull contacts, verify each address with BillionVerify, and continue to Freshdesk β€” only deliverable addresses get through.

Why verify before the send

Sending to invalid, risky, catch-all, or disposable addresses spikes your bounce rate and erodes sender reputation. A verification gate before the Freshdesk step removes that risk automatically β€” only deliverable addresses continue, the rest are flagged.

The workflow

BillionVerify β€” verification sits right before the send.

FAQ

Why verify before sending in Freshdesk?

Verifying first keeps your bounce rate low, which protects your sender reputation and your results.

How do I import this workflow?

Download the JSON, then in n8n go to Workflows β†’ Import from File (or paste it). Install the BillionVerify community node and add your API key credential.

What happens to risky or catch-all addresses?

They are routed to the false branch and excluded from the send. You decide whether to retry, review, or drop them.
