In this guide, you’ll learn how to make use of Inbox Sentiment Routing.

Sentiment Routing is an Inbox feature that allows you to create queues and automatically prioritize tickets based on the Sentiment Analysis of a message. You can even make specific tickets go to agents with particular skills, for example, senior agents can probably deal with tickets in which the sentiment analysis is negative (angry customers) better than agents with less experience.

• Keep in mind that only managers can set up Sentiment Routing. Go to inbox.messagebird.com, tap Settings on the side navigation, select Routing from the sub-navigation and click Add path. This will take you to the following modal:
