Imagine this: you just received a heartwarming message from a customer about how your new app feature made their day, only to see another user hurling digital tomatoes at your brand because of a misunderstood post. πŸ…

And of course, there's always someone who drops a non-committal "Cool story, bro" under your most thought-out posts. πŸ˜‘

To help you make sense of all these diverse reactions (whether they're comments, messages, mentions, etc.), you need a simple way to mark their sentiment as positive, neutral, or negative. With NapoleonCat, you can do just that!


How to mark sentiment

Here's how you can categorize sentiment of customer messages with NapoleonCat:

  1. Hop on over to Social Inbox

  2. Spot the ticket (this could be a customer comment, post, mention, review, message, etc.) you're keen on marking

  3. Check towards the bottom and locate the dropdown menu next to "Sentiment":

  5. And voilΓ ! You're all set to rock those sentiment markers!
