- Be specific with date ranges — When asking about recent feedback, specify a time window (e.g., “last 7 days”) to get the most relevant results.
- Filter by source — Narrow results to specific channels. Use “sales calls” for Gong/Salesforce/Clari Copilot data, “support tickets” for Intercom/Zendesk, or “app reviews” for App Store/Play Store feedback.
- Use priority filters — Focus on critical and high-priority insights when triaging issues.
The MCP server respects your workspace permissions. You’ll only see insights and feedback that your account has access to.
