## How Do You Find Customer Feedback That Never Reaches Your Feedback Tool?

List the tools where customers talk to you, then compare a recent sample from each one with what your feedback tool already holds. Mark each topic covered, thin, or missing. Every gap has a cause, such as a tool that was never connected, a Slack channel without the bot, or feedback that only lives in a CSV export.

## Why Customer Feedback Stays Scattered Across Tools

Customers tell you things in Slack threads, support tickets, sales calls, and CRM notes. Some of it reaches your feedback tool and some never does. You only find out when a big customer complains about something that has no theme, because the channel it came through was never connected.

## How Deck Shows Which Feedback It Is Missing

Deck shows what it receives: each integration's state, every synced Slack channel, and the uploads still waiting to process. The sweep compares that with a recent sample from your other tools, topic by topic. Each gap gets its cause and one fix, and nothing changes in Deck or in the other tools while you check.

Deck features used:

- [Integrations](https://getdeck.io/product/integrations)
- [Themes](https://getdeck.io/product/themes)
- [MCP Server](https://getdeck.io/product/mcp-server)

## How to Find Missing Customer Feedback in Deck

### 1. Name the Tools That Hold Customer Feedback

List where customers talk to you: Slack, your support desk, your CRM, your call recorder. Pick a time window. The last 30 days is a good default.

### 2. Check What Deck Already Receives

Open Settings → Integrations and note which tools are connected, which need attention, and which are not connected. Then check Manage → CSV Uploads for uploads that show Waiting for Credits.

### 3. Check Your Slack Channels

Open Settings → Integrations → Slack. The channel list shows whether each channel is syncing, synced, not synced yet, or has an error. A customer channel missing from Add Channel needs Deck Bot first: run /invite Deck in that channel.

### 4. Sample Recent Feedback in Each Tool

In each tool, read recent customer-facing items such as tickets, call notes, and channel messages. Note the topic, a short quote, the date, and a link. Group them into 5 to 15 topics, and treat the counts as your own sample.

### 5. Check Each Topic in Deck

Search your insights in Visualize and look for a matching theme for each topic. Mark it Covered when Deck has insights on it in the window, Thin when Deck has a few but the other tool has many more, and Missing when Deck has none.

### 6. Fix the Biggest Gaps First

An admin connects or reconnects tools in Settings → Integrations. For a tool Deck has no integration for, export a CSV and upload it in Manage → CSV Uploads, or upload call transcripts in Manage → User Interviews. Pick the 3 fixes that add the most signal.

## Run a Cross-Tool Feedback Sweep with Your AI Agent

You need:

- Deck MCP connected to your agent

Your agent starts with the `explore_integrations` tool.

Paste this prompt into your agent:

```text
Use Deck MCP. Fetch and follow https://docs.getdeck.io/docs/agents/workflows/cross-tool-signal-sweep.md
```

## Topics (window: last [30] days)
| Topic | Your sample count | Source links | Deck count | Mark |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| [Topic] | [n] (your sample) | [links] | [Deck count] + link | Covered / Thin / Missing |

MARKS
Covered: Deck has insights on it in the window
Thin: Deck has a few, the other tool has many more
Missing: Deck has no insights on it

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Does the sweep change anything?

No. It only reads, in Deck and in your other tools. Each fix is a separate step you choose to take.

### Who can fix a gap?

Only organization admins connect or reconnect integrations. A Slack channel needs Deck Bot invited with /invite Deck, then an admin adds the channel in Deck. Uploads happen in the Deck web app.

### Will connecting more tools hit a plan limit?

The Free plan allows 1 integration, and Linear and Jira do not use that slot. Starter allows 5 and Business is unlimited. Intercom and Zendesk need Starter or higher, and Slack feedback channels are unlimited on every plan.

### What if feedback synced but does not show in Deck yet?

Items that synced but are not processed yet, or that wait for credits, show in Deck after processing. Count them as waiting, not missing.

### Why do counts differ between my tools and Deck?

Counts from your other tools are your own sample, not Deck numbers. Compare topics, not totals, and quote Deck's counts as Deck gives them.

### Can my AI agent run this?

Yes. Connect Deck MCP and at least one other tool, such as Slack, a support desk, a CRM, or a call recorder, in the same AI client. Paste the prompt on this page. The agent sweeps only the tools you name, reads only, and never connects an integration or uploads feedback.
