Sentiment

The Sentiment tab lets you review and analyse the sentiment identified across your interactions, helping you spot trends in call volume and determine the dominant sentiment over time.

Note. Call sentiment is a way of understanding the overall mood of a conversation, whether it was a positive interaction or the customer was frustrated and expressing negative feelings. By analysing the words, tone, and emotional cues throughout a call, the conversation is classified as having a positive, negative, or neutral sentiment.

Time Period and Filters bar

At the top of the page, you can adjust the date range and comparison window for the data displayed. The Filters panel lets you apply additional filters to narrow down the data and focus on specific call details. Once you've applied your filters, you can save them as a custom view. See the Views guide for more detail.


Overall Sentiment

This pie chart displays the overall sentiment identified in the interactions analysed within your selected date range and filters. Sentiment is categorised into four types:

SentimentDescription
Positive SentimentThe conversation was favourable and optimistic.
Negative SentimentThe conversation expressed dissatisfaction or frustration.
Uncertain SentimentThe sentiment was unclear or mixed, with no definitive tone detected.
Neutral SentimentThe conversation had neither a positive nor a negative tone.

Hovering over a segment of the chart reveals more detailed trend analysis, and gives you the option to select View Interactions to review the specific calls associated with the dominant sentiment.
