How to create and track actions in Insights

Introduction

Insights AI helps teams move from identifying problems to driving measurable improvement. Once you’ve identified high-impact recommendations, the next step is turning those insights into accountable action.

With Actions and Tracking in Insights, teams can convert recommendations into structured initiatives with clear ownership, timelines, and measurable goals. This ensures important issues don’t stop at discussion—they move toward execution and follow-through.

Start Tracking a Recommendation

To begin tracking progress on a recommendation, go to Insights AI.

  • Identify the recommendation you want to act on

  • Click Start tracking on the far right side of the recommendation row

Create an Action

After clicking Start tracking, a drawer opens on the right side of the screen where you can configure the action.

Some fields are automatically populated based on the selected recommendation.

Auto-populated editable fields

The following fields are pre-filled using recommendation data, but can still be edited if needed:

  • Action name

  • Description

  • Locations

This allows teams to quickly create actions while still making adjustments based on business needs.

Auto-populated non-editable fields

The following fields are automatically populated and cannot be edited:

  • Metrics to improve

  • Type

  • Option

These values are directly tied to the recommendation being tracked.

Set the target sentiment score

In the Target Sentiment score field, enter the score you want to achieve.

You can also view the current sentiment score directly below the field to help determine a realistic target.

Select the due date

Click the dropdown button in the Due date field to select the target completion date for the action.

This helps teams define when the desired improvement should be achieved.

Assign an owner

Click the dropdown button in the Assignee field to select the person responsible for the action.

Assigning ownership helps ensure accountability and follow-through.

Save the action

Once all required details are completed, click Save in the top-right corner of the panel.

The recommendation will now become a tracked action that can be monitored over time.

View Action Progress

As soon as the action is created, you will automatically be navigated to the Progress tab.

The Progress page helps you monitor how the action is performing over time and whether it is moving toward the target sentiment score.

Here, you can view:

  • Initial score — The sentiment score when the action was created

  • Current score — The latest sentiment score based on recent data

  • Target score — The goal set for the action

You can also view additional tracking details, including:

  • Assigned owner

  • Start date

  • Due date

  • Target attainment progress

This gives teams a centralized view of execution progress and performance improvement for the action.

View Detailed Improvement Opportunities

Below the score tracking section, you’ll see the “How to improve your Sentiment score” table.

This section breaks down the specific issues contributing to the sentiment score decline and highlights the areas that need attention.

Each row includes:

  • The challenge or theme impacting sentiment

  • Number of affected locations

  • Impact on sentiment score

  • Negative mention trends

  • AI-generated insights explaining the issue

The recommendations are prioritized based on impact, helping teams focus on the most critical issues first.

This view helps teams compare how individual locations are performing and identify stores that may require additional attention.

The table includes:

  • Location names

  • Sentiment scores

  • Score trends over the selected time period

  • Total mentions

  • Sentiment distribution across positive, neutral, and negative feedback

Insights will generate a summary highlighting:

  • Top-performing locations

  • Common customer concerns and strengths across locations

This helps teams quickly understand overall business performance without manually reviewing each location individually.

View Top Themes in Customer Feedback

The “What are the top themes” section provides a visual representation of the most frequently mentioned topics in customer feedback.

The word cloud highlights recurring themes across reviews and surveys, helping teams quickly identify the areas customers talk about most often.

Themes are color-coded based on sentiment:

  • Green → Positive feedback

  • Yellow → Neutral feedback

  • Red → Negative feedback

Larger bubbles represent themes that appear more frequently in customer feedback.

Alongside the visualization, Insights also generates an AI-powered summary explaining:

  • Frequently reported issues

  • Overall sentiment trends across themes

This helps teams quickly understand major customer perception trends without manually analyzing individual reviews.

Explore theme-level feedback details

You can click on any theme in the word cloud to explore detailed customer feedback related to that topic.

For example, clicking “Exceptional Food” opens a detailed view showing reviews and mentions associated with that theme.

Within this view, you can:

  • Read the full customer reviews related to the selected theme

  • View the review source (for example, Google)

  • See the associated business location name

  • Analyze recurring phrases and keywords tied to the theme

You can also hover over a keyword or mention in the word cloud to view how many times it appeared in customer feedback.

This helps teams better understand the context behind customer sentiment and identify the specific experiences driving positive or negative feedback.

Edit review snippets

Click Actions next to a review and select Edit snippet to modify or create snippets from the review text.

You can highlight any part of the review and classify it as:

  • Positive snippet

  • Neutral snippet

  • Negative snippet

hover over the highlighted text to change its sentiment or remove the snippet entirely.

This helps improve sentiment categorization accuracy and ensures important customer feedback is properly tagged for analysis.

What Do Your Customers Say

This section helps you understand how customers talk about different aspects of your business through categorized sentiment analysis. It visually breaks down customer feedback into categories, keywords, and descriptive adjectives, making it easier to identify common themes and sentiment patterns across reviews.

The circular visualization breaks customer feedback into three levels: Category, Keyword, and Adjective. Each level provides deeper insight into how customers describe their experience.

  • Category (Inner circle)
    The center circle represents the main feedback category, such as Food. This section is informational only and is not clickable. Hovering over it displays the total mentions and sentiment breakdown for that category.

  • Keyword (Middle circle)
    The middle circle represents keywords related to the category, such as Food, Soup, or Salad. Hover over a keyword to view the total mentions and sentiment distribution.

  • Clicking a keyword filters the reviews to show feedback related to that keyword.

  • Adjective (Outer circle)


    The outer circle represents descriptive words customers use, such as Alright, Dissatisfied, or Awesome. Hover over an adjective to view mention count and sentiment details.

  • Clicking on an adjective opens the specific reviews where that adjective was mentioned.

The colors indicate sentiment:

  • Green = Positive

  • Yellow = Neutral

  • Red = Negative

This visualization helps you quickly identify which topics customers talk about most and understand the sentiment associated with them.
