Zonka Feedback Overview#

Zonka Feedback API allows for the collection and management of customer feedback data. Through Pipedream, you can automate the process of capturing this feedback, analyze the data for insights, and integrate with other services to act on the information collected. With Pipedream's serverless platform, you can create complex workflows that trigger actions in other apps, based on feedback received, without writing extensive code.
