Messages

Note: All the user interface references to verbatim(s) changed to messages.

A message is what we call a single unit of free-form text communication, such as an email, a survey response, a note, a chat, or a phone call transcript. Messages are grouped together in sources.

The following image contains an example of how a message is presented in the Explore page of the user interface.



Message metadata

Every message has associated metadata that consists of structured data points that provide additional information about the communication or conversation and its participants.

All messages are required to have an associated timestamp, which typically corresponds to the time at which that message was originally created.

In addition to timestamps, the platform typically stores additional metadata associated with each message. Typical examples of metadata fields are:

  • Name and contact details of the message participants.
  • Sender and receiver domains for emails.
  • Number of messages in a chat conversation or number of emails in a thread.
  • Demographical data, such as gender, age, country, and so on.
  • A quantitative measure of customer satisfaction with the interaction, such as Net Promoter Score (NPS), Customer Satisfaction Score (CSAT), and so on.
  • For phone calls, the raw audio the platform used to transcribe it.
  • Third-party IDs used when the Messages are imported from another system, for example, the email message ID from an Exchange server.



Some datasets may contain messages with PII (personally identifiable information) in their metadata, such as userId. Therefore, you can mark these fields as sensitive. By marking these fields as sensitive, viewing this metadata requires enhanced user permissions.

Having rich message metadata allows users greater ability to train and analyze their data within the platform, as users can filter by metadata fields within both the Explore and Reports pages.
