Attributes are custom fields with predefined options for more granular conversation tagging.

What are Attributes?

Unlike categories (one per conversation), attributes are additional fields that can capture multiple dimensions:
AttributeOptions
PriorityHigh, Medium, Low
Product AreaDashboard, API, Mobile App
Customer TierEnterprise, Pro, Free
SentimentPositive, Neutral, Negative
Issue TypeBug, Question, Request, Complaint
A conversation can have values for multiple attributes.

How Auto-Extraction Works

The AI extracts attribute values based on:
  1. Conversation content — What was discussed
  2. Customer information — Available metadata
  3. Context clues — Tone, urgency, specifics mentioned
For example, if a customer says “This is urgent, I need this fixed today!”, the AI would likely set Priority to “High”.

Common Attributes

Priority

High — Urgent, blocking, immediate attention needed
Medium — Important but not urgent
Low — Minor issue, no time pressure

Neutral — Factual, matter-of-fact
Negative — Frustrated, angry, disappointed

Best Practices

  • Start with essentials — Priority and Product Area are common starting points
  • Keep options clear — Each option should be distinct
  • Use descriptions — Help the AI extract accurately
  • Review extraction — Check that attributes are being applied correctly
  • Don’t over-attribute — 3-5 attributes is usually sufficient
