Finding the Right Conversations

Using the Dashboard Tiles

The fastest way to focus on specific messages is to click the dashboard tiles. For example:

  • Click New replies to see recent responses

  • Click Support issues and requests to prioritize urgent questions

  • Click Champions and highly engaged to connect with your most active supporters

Advanced Filtering

Need to get more specific? Click the filter icon to open the All filters panel where you can combine multiple criteria to find exactly what you need.

Available Filters:

  • Assignee Choose conversations assigned to specific team members, assigned to you, or unassigned conversations.

  • List Filter by which subscriber list the person belongs to. This helps you segment conversations by campaign, interest group, or audience.

Status Select one or more status options:

  • Read - Conversations you've already opened

  • Unread - New messages you haven't viewed yet

  • Resolved - Conversations marked as complete

  • Unresolved - Messages that need follow-up or further action

You can select multiple status checkboxes to see combinations (like both Unread and Resolved).

Affinity Level Filter by how engaged each subscriber is with your messages:

  • Champions - Your most active, highly engaged supporters

  • Highly Engaged - Very active subscribers who regularly interact

  • Passive Constituents - Subscribers who engage occasionally

  • At-Risk - Less engaged subscribers who might need re-engagement

  • Inactive - Subscribers with minimal or no recent engagement

Select multiple affinity levels to see broader groups.

Reply Classification Filter by the type of message:

  • Support Message - Questions or issues needing assistance

  • Other classifications your organization has set up

Message Replied Search for conversations containing specific keywords or phrases within the messages themselves. This is helpful when you remember what someone said but need to find the conversation.

Reply Sentiment Score Filter by the emotional tone detected in messages:

  • Positive - Messages expressing satisfaction, gratitude, or enthusiasm

  • Negative - Messages showing frustration, disappointment, or concern

  • Neutral - Messages without strong emotional indicators

Date Choose from preset time ranges or create a custom interval:

  • Last 24 hours - Today's messages

  • Last 48 hours - Past two days

  • Last 7 days - This past week

  • Last 14 days - Past two weeks

  • Last 30 days - This past month

  • Last 45 days - Default dashboard view

  • Custom Interval - Set your own date range

How to Apply Filters

  1. Click the filter icon above your conversation list

  2. The All filters panel opens on the right side

  3. Select your criteria (you can choose multiple options across different filter types)

  4. Click Apply at the bottom of the panel

  5. Your conversation list updates immediately to show only matching conversations

To clear all filters: Click Clear All at the bottom of the filter panel, or click the X to close the panel without saving changes.

Tips for Effective Filtering

  • Combine strategically: Filters work together with "and" logic—messages must match all selected criteria. Start broad and add filters to narrow down.

  • Use date filters: When reviewing large volumes, limit by date first to make other filters more manageable.

  • Save time with affinity levels: Instead of manually identifying your best supporters, use Champions and Highly Engaged filters to prioritize your most valuable relationships.

  • Leverage sentiment: Negative sentiment messages might need immediate attention and careful responses, while positive sentiment messages are opportunities to deepen relationships.

Having trouble with filters?

  • If your filtered view is empty, try removing criteria one at a time—you might have conflicting selections

  • Remember that selecting multiple options within the same filter type (like multiple Affinity Levels) shows conversations matching ANY of those options

  • If search isn't finding expected messages, try shorter or partial keywords

  • Check that your date range includes when the conversation occurred
