Business value

This capability provides an immediate view of customer sentiment, helping agents and supervisors identify potential escalations early and respond proactively. By consolidating sentiment across email, chat, and voice into a single, easy‑to‑interpret indicator, it supports better case prioritization and service decisions. Surfacing sentiment directly in case forms and grids also reduces time spent reviewing interactions, improving agent efficiency and overall service quality.

Feature details

Scope

  • Displays case sentiment directly on cases and in case grids.
  • Uses channel‑level sentiment signals weighted by recency and admin‑configured channel weights.

Experience

Case sentiment appears on the case form, enhanced Active Cases grid, and agent inbox card (when added to the agent profile). It updates automatically when new emails arrive or conversations close, provided sentiment is enabled.

Setup

  • Administrators enable Case sentiment (preview) in Case settings and configure channel weights.
  • Administrators enable email sentiment visibility and add the Sentiment field to agent profiles/inbox record types.

Output

Displays a sentiment score and icon representing the combined emotional tone of recent interactions. The score reflects channel weight, interaction recency, and per‑interaction sentiment, and recalculates automatically as new interactions are received.
