## When the Customer Feedback Add-on is activated, customers will be asked to leave feedback after they pay their invoice online

## If the customer doesn't pay their invoice online you can set up a Customer Feedback Automation to email them after they have paid their invoice.

See the [Customer Feedback Automation](/help-center/servicem8-add-ons/automation/customer-feedback-automation) help article to learn how to set this up. Note the automated request won't send if the customer has already provided feedback.
