Top 5 Value-Driving Features

Product Insights | Introducing Product Insights Persona App

Sprinklr brings forth the new Persona App for Product Insights with a revamped user experience, catered to provide more granular insights into products.

It boasts multiple AI-generated, deep actionable insights into how well your product is fairing. The newly upgraded product catalog unveils high-level insights into your products without any need to further open the dashboard. Pivotal metrics such as star ratings, scores, domains, etc., are all consolidated in the product card/catalog, providing strong product analytics in a list view.

The persona app also possesses pre-curated, editable reporting templates such as Brand Health, Competitor benchmarking, etc., designed for specific use cases, imparting an efficient and sped-up workflow. Persona app maximizes its reporting capabilities by incorporating suggestions for specific products on how to improve their current position among customers on multiple pain points.

This feature is available in all reporting dashboards, making comparative studies easier for the users. Note: The Side By Side Compare Mode is applicable at the section level only.

Listening | Revamped Smart Insights with Quick Insights on Multiple Data Points/Anomalies

Detecting the relevant point of anomalies or spikes in your data is imperative to study the deviations. By turning Smart Insights on in your widget, the most significant points of anomalies/deviations are auto-detected by the AI. With the revamped Smart Insights, the insights can now be availed at various data points without being limited to only few points. A single click on these points yields the most crucial factors driving that particular data point. These auto-generated insights absolve you from the strenuous act of manually selecting and drilling down these points for insights. Now, with a single click, you can deep dive into decisive insights such as top hashtags, top sources, Sentiment distribution, etc, which can be further drilled down to the metric of your preference. These one click quick insights are supported on multiple widget visualizations making them more accessible.

Listening | Added Support for Engagement Metric in Inline Editable Table Widget

The Inline Editable Table widget has the option to show Engagement Metric. In this mode, the messages will be mapped with the predefined engagement stats, and shown up in a single column (or cell) instead of each taking up a separate column.

  • Earlier: Users had to plot multiple metrics that made the widget look cumbersome.

  • Current: Now, with the availability of Engagement Metrics, mapped users can plot an inline table with minimal metrics.

Sprinklr's Alert Manager

This functionality can be achieved by the following routes –

While Plotting Widget

From Widget Editor

By Widget Options

Click the Show Engagement Metrics option to view widget by default in the compact mode.

Users can access this functionality by clicking the Options icon at the widget level, and then click Edit. From the Widget editor, the user can select the Show Engagement Metrics option under Configuration.

While on the dashboard itself, users can select Show Engagement Metrics from widget options to enable this functionality. To revert back, click Hide Engagement Metrics in the options.

Note:

There may be some discrepancy in engagement stats due to channel API restrictions.

Listening Introducing New Widget "Quadrant Matrix" to Analyze Performance of Different Areas

We have introduced a new widget Quadrant Matrix for Listening dashboards. By plotting this newly added widget to your dashboard, you can analyze the performance of different categories (Products, Topics, Themes, etc.) according to the relationship between any two metrics of your choice.

  • You can also track the third metric within the same widget. This metric will govern the radii of the bubbles within the chart.

  • You can also choose to label the quadrants of the matrix according to your reporting use case to reflect their individual significance.

  • Moreover, you can also change the upper and lower limits of the X and Y axes in the chart, to further tweak your matrix.

Listening | Ability to View Related Messages in Conversation Stream

We have expanded the scope of viewing messages in the Conversation Stream. As a result, you can now view all the messages related to a particular conversation in the Conversation Stream accessed via the drill-by window. When you search for any specific messages by entering the relevant keyword, you will now view the entire threaded conversation relevant to the scope of the matched keyword.

Sprinklr's Alert Manager

The objective of this feature is to let users view the context of the parent message by viewing surrounding related messages to the matched keyword, be it any comment or reply.

Enablement note:

To get this capability enabled in your environment, please work with your success manager.

Listening | Translation of Listening Dashboards Will Remain Intact for Users

We have made a very useful upgrade to our Translation Functionality. Now, whenever you will translate your Listening dashboard and/or any of its widgets, the translation will remain intact even after a hard refresh. You can directly view the language in which the DB/Widget is translated to, with the help of the tooltip on top of the dashboard. You can hover over the icon highlighted in the below screenshot to display the translation detail.

For example, if you open a Listening dashboard where the language of the messages and other texts is English. You translate the language to Spanish (Espanol), and doing this will set Spanish as the primary language. Now, whenever you will open that Listening dashboard, the messages and other texts will always be translated into the Spanish language. Please note that the translation property is in the user context – which means that it will not affect any other user’s view on the same dashboard when working concurrently.

Listening | Introducing New Widget "Image Post Card" to Group Similar/Identical Images

The newly introduced Image Post Card widget will allow you to group similar or identical images and view message-level aggregated metrics associated with the post that contains those images.

We have introduced a new operator type, called CharCount using which brands can monitor their campaign where they expect the responses to contain a fixed number of characters. There are three types of CharCount operators supported –

  • titleCharCount: This will return conversations having a certain number of characters in the title.

  • messageCharCount: This will return conversations having a certain number of characters in the message body.

  • contentCharCount: This will return conversations having a certain number of characters in the title and/or message combined.

Note:

You cannot fetch historic data using the CharCount operators.

Listening | Added Translation Support for 50+ Languages in Social Listening

We have added translation support for 50+ languages to the Sprinklr platform in order to help brands eliminate language barriers and increase their team's productivity. They can now listen to their audience by increasing their translation scope to 130+ languages (earlier 80+), thereby tracking their brand performance over a wider range of languages.

Listening | Conversation Stream View Will Be Persisted in Same State

The Conversation Stream view will now remain intact even after switching between tabs/dashboards, refreshing the dashboard, reloading the browser, etc. Let's say you are viewing the messages on the Conversation Stream widget. You switch to another tab or another dashboard, and due to which the dashboard gets refreshed automatically. Now when you go back to the Conversation Stream widget, the previous state where you left the widget, will remain intact.

Listening | Availability of Pivot Table in External Dashboards

Listening | Introducing Governance Upgrades for Scheduled Exports

We have introduced a very useful governance upgrade for Scheduled Exports. With this new upgrade, you can share your scheduled export only with the users you intend to. This will protect the configurations from inadvertent edits and triggers, and protect sensitive information if there is any.

The visibility of private messages will be subject to whether a user/user group has the View Reporting permission for the corresponding Owned Account.

This feature covers the following platform areas:
