<Tip>
  Paste feedback directly from emails, support tickets, or meeting notes. The editor supports rich text formatting.
</Tip>

## Adding Context

After creating your insight, add important context using the properties panel:

### Status

Change the insight's workflow state:

* **Inbox** - New feedback that needs review
* **Reviewed** - Processed and categorized
* **Archived** - Resolved or outdated

\[image]

### Source

Track where feedback originated:

* Select from existing sources (Email, Slack, Support, etc.)
* Create custom sources for your workflow
* Helps identify your most valuable feedback channels

\[image]

### Sentiment

Capture the customer's emotion:

* **Positive** 😊 - Happy customers, praise, success stories
* **Neutral** 😐 - Feature requests, questions, suggestions
* **Negative** 😞 - Frustrations, bugs, complaints

### Tags

Organize with multiple tags:

* Click **Add tags** to select existing ones
* Type to create new tags on the fly
* Use tags for themes like "onboarding", "pricing", "mobile"

## Linking a Customer

Connect feedback to the person who provided it:

1. Click **Link customer** in the properties panel
2. Search for existing customers or create new ones
3. Add their name and email
4. Now all feedback from this customer is connected

<Info>
  Linking customers helps you see patterns - which customers request similar features or face the same issues.

  In the future we will add support for customer properties so you can evaluate insights based on things like which pricing plan a customer is on or how active of a user they are on your platform. Reach out to us if this is something you are interested in using.
