Choose Insights to Focus On
Let Conversation Insights know which keywords to look for in call recordings. When a call participant utters a keyword, it’s flagged so reviewers can quickly jump to its location in the recording. If you’re focusing on service calls, customize your keywords to understand, among other things:
- How reps describe your products
- What questions customers ask about your products
- Which competitors come up in conversations, and how often
- How reps talk about common customer issues
- Which factors contribute to a successful support call
- On the same General Settings page in Setup, click Set Up to set up your call insights. Or, in the Quick Find box, enter Call Insights and select Call Insights.
- Einstein Conversation Insights comes with two out-of-the-box keyword categories, or
insights: one for identifying product mentions, and one for competitor mentions. Click
Product Mentioned to customize it.
- Add up to 25 products that are likely to come up in support calls.
- Under Category, choose the category of calls to scan for the keywords: sales, service, or both.
- Optionally, specify which side of conversation to analyze (Said By).
- Activate and save the insight. When Einstein Conversation Insights processes call recordings, it looks only for keywords from active insights.
Note Salesforce also provides several automatic service insights that can’t be customized, such as Escalation, Payments, and Attrition Mentioned. You can view them on the Automatic tab of the Call Insights page. - Click the Competitor Mentioned insight and repeat the previous step, listing any competitor names that can arise in calls.
- Optionally, click New Custom Insight to define more insights. For
each custom insight, add keywords, choose one or more categories, and optionally, select a
speaker. Then, activate and save it.
Tip Custom insights are a great way to tailor Conversation Insights’ analysis to your business priorities and terminology. For example, use custom insights to identify calls in which callers mention issues related to delivery, billing, or compliance.
