Frequently Asked Questions

Q. What defines a “conversation”?

A. A set of messages containing at least one incoming and one outgoing message prior to 3 days of inactivity.

Automated messages such as smart message auto-replies, keyword auto-replies, and OOO messages are analyzed as part of conversation data.

Q. Are smart messages included? What about keyword opt-outs?

A. Yes - both smart messages and keyword opt outs technically fit our definition of a “conversation” so they are part of the analysis.

Q. Who sees the Organization data v. Team v. Mine?

A. Admins see all, Users only see Mine.

Q. I can't click into the dashboard, how can I see my conversations?

A. Stay tuned! We'll be including additional enhancements in a future release this year. For now, your client success team can help provide that information. Use the "Schedule a Call" button on the dashboard to get yours scheduled!

Q. Will Chat be included in conversation data on the dashboard?

A. Stay tuned! It's not currently being calculated into the data but we do have plans to add Chat information to the dashboard.

Q. How is my data being used?

A. We don’t train AI on your data or store it in a place where it can be accessed by AI. We simply use AI to help analyze data using very specific guidelines.

Q. What if multiple topics were discussed?

A. Our analysis only allows for one topic per conversation. If multiple are detected, the most relevant topic within the conversation will be selected.

Q. How do you actually know if a conversation was resolved or not?

A. Using AI, we perform a contextual analysis to identify the outcome of a conversation based on the messages within it.

Q. How do you calculate the sentiment shown?

A. We have a formula that takes into account Positive, Neutral, and Negative sentiment then arrives at an overall score that is visually expressed as a “bar” on the dashboard. 

The analysis is instructed to only extract one emotion per conversation and it's based on only the contact's messages--not the user. If there are multiple, it'l select the most relevant/prevalent one.
