Accessing and viewing conversations
The Conversations view provides a centralized location to access and manage all relevant customer interactions. It includes powerful filtering options that allow you to quickly narrow down conversations based on criteria such as date, agent, status, or custom tags. This makes it easy to find specific conversations for review, feedback, or further analysis.
To access and view conversations
- In Quality assurance, click
Conversations in the sidebar. - (Optional) Use the filters to select the conversation you want to
review.
The sidebar on the left displays a filters section that helps you quickly find the conversations you’re looking for.
As a reviewer, filtering conversations allows you to identify the right interactions to review.
You can create public or private filters based on any conversation attribute and condition, then save those filters for future use.
Commonly used filter conditions include:
-
Reply count is greater than or less than X

In that case, an admin can click Edit and update this prompt to gather relevant insights before marking it active again.

Reviewing conversations and messages
To review a conversation, select it from the list on the left, then click the Review button to enter review mode and view your scorecard.
Once you’ve read the conversation, assign scores for each category.

Leaving comments is encouraged. You can expand the comment box to write more, and use hashtags or mentions to involve others in the conversation.
After adding scores and comments, submit your review. A score out of 100% will be calculated based on the weights you’ve assigned to your categories.
Reviewed agents receive a notification prompting them to consult the feedback in their Received Reviews view.
