Key Features of Sentiment-Based Workflows

With Sentiment-Based Workflows, Zonka Feedback introduces advanced AI filtering that makes feedback management effortless and impactful. Here’s how each filter works and what it can do for your business:

1. Sentiment Filter

  • What It Does: Automatically categorizes feedback into Positive, Neutral, or Negative.

  • Use Case:
    A large e-commerce platform receives hundreds of reviews daily. Negative feedback, such as "I’m unhappy with the delayed shipping," triggers an immediate apology and a discount offer. Positive feedback, like "Great product, fast delivery!" sends an automated thank-you message and a loyalty offer.

  • Impact: Ensures that customer complaints are swiftly handled while positive feedback is leveraged to boost customer satisfaction and loyalty.

2. Emotion Filter

  • What It Does: Detects emotions such as Anger, Happiness, Contentment, Disappointment, Delight, Hopeful, and, Concern in customer feedback.

  • Use Case:
    A customer support center receives feedback through online forms. The Emotion Filter detects anger in feedback like "I’m furious that my account was locked without notice!" This automatically escalates the issue to a senior support agent for urgent resolution. Meanwhile, feedback like "I’m thrilled with how smoothly everything worked!" prompts a thank-you message and a request for a testimonial.

  • Impact: Emotionally charged feedback is addressed with empathy care, improving customer retention and fostering loyalty.

3. Intent Filter

  • What It Does: Recognizes the customer’s intent, whether it’s a Complaint, Suggestion, Question, Recommendation, Inform, or Praise.

  • Use Case:
    A tech company receives feedback suggesting, "The new update is causing app crashes." The Intent Filter sends the complaint to the tech team, while a suggestion like "It would be great if the app had dark mode" is forwarded to the product development team for future consideration.

  • Impact: Feedback is automatically directed to the right teams, ensuring faster resolutions and efficient management.

4. Urgency Filter

  • What It Does: Prioritizes feedback based on urgency, categorizing it as High, Medium, or Low.

  • Use Case:
    A telecommunications company uses the Urgency Filter to tag high-urgency issues like "We are facing a critical service outage and need immediate resolution," which notifies the support team instantly.

  • Impact: Critical feedback is flagged and addressed first, helping your team resolve time-sensitive issues faster.
