  • Assigned to me

This section is designed to help you easily identify and manage the messages that have been assigned specifically to you. 📌

Messages in this section may include customer inquiries, requests, or issues that require your attention or response. By centralizing these messages in one location, you can prioritize your workflow and ensure that all assigned tasks are completed on time. This section can also help you to avoid missing important messages or leaving them unanswered. 🚀

The “Starred” section allows you to keep track of important messages by starring them. ⭐

Once you star a message, it will appear in this section, making it easy to find and revisit later. This section is handy for messages that require follow-up or additional attention or for messages that contain important information that you may need to refer to in the future. By using the "Starred" section, you can quickly access and manage your most important messages, helping you to stay organized and efficient. ✨

  • Unassigned

The "Unassigned" section in the Engage menu contains messages that have not yet been assigned to a specific team member. 🚫

This section is designed to help ensure that no messages are left unattended, as unassigned messages can be easily overlooked.

The "Closed" section can also be helpful for auditing purposes or for referencing past interactions with customers. By using the "Closed" section, team members can efficiently manage their workload and ensure that all messages are appropriately handled and documented. 🙌

Bulk actions

The “Bulk action” feature in the Engage module allows you to perform multiple actions at once, rather than manually performing the same task on each individual message or conversation. 🙌 This can save you a significant amount of time and increase your efficiency, allowing you to manage your conversations more effectively and respond to your customers promptly. 👌

  • Conversation data process

Sentiment analysis

Sentiment analysis analyzes conversations and engagement in your inbox. What does it mean exactly? Well, simply speaking. If you want to discover "negative" comments, direct messages, or mentions and address them personally, Sociality.io's auto-sentiment analysis helps you to do that. The same goes for "positive" and "neutral" sentiments. You can reward or thank positive information spreaders for your brand.

Category

With categories, you can group together conversations that relate to specific topics, such as product feedback or customer support inquiries. By assigning these categories to your conversations, you can quickly filter and analyze them based on these topics.

Attribution

Attributes, on the other hand, allow you to assign specific characteristics to your conversations. For example, you might use attributes to identify the sentiment of a conversation, the urgency of a request, or the customer's location. By using attributes in combination with categories, you can gain a more detailed understanding of your conversations and identify patterns and trends more easily.

The ability to customize these filters is key to making the most out of Sociality.io's Listen module. By setting up your categories and attributes in a way that makes sense for your brand, you can ensure that you are capturing all the relevant conversations and analyzing them in a way that is meaningful and actionable.
