Email Inbox: Send Emails to Research Hub as Feedback

Add your email inbox as a source to forward customer emails to the Research Hub and turn them into insights.

Written by Agnieszka

With your email inbox connected to Research Hub, customer emails are automatically imported into Survicate and put to work. They're categorized into Insights and used as a source for AI-generated reports, so you're not just archiving conversations, you're transforming them into feedback your teams can act on.

Connect Your Email Inbox to Research Hub

Step 1. Navigate to the Hub in your Survicate Panel and click on Data Sources:

Step 2. In the Integrations tab, find Email Inbox on the list of sources, and click the Connect button:

Step 3finisg. Once completed, in Settings, you will see a unique email address, which you can use to forward emails directly to Research Hub:

Send emails as Research Hub notes

Step 1. Any feedback you'd like to redirect from your inboxes to Research Hub should be forwarded to the unique email address that you can find in Settings (as shown in the above section of this guide).

Step 2. We will automatically add a note to your Hub with this forwarded email.

💡 You can forward emails manually, set up an automatic forwarding rule in Gmail or Outlook, or share the address with your support or CX team to forward relevant conversations as they come in.

Using the Research Hub

Now that you've connected your email inbox, those emails can be used in your Research Projects. Once you create a Project, emails are analyzed alongside your other feedback sources to draw conclusions, surface patterns, and identify pain points. The structure of your report depends on the project description you provide during setup. Once your Project is created, you'll see six tabs:

Report

The report is the main part of the project, as it's created based on the information and criteria you provided while adding a new project. Below, you can see an excerpt of an exemplary report including email feedback:

You can verify the sources for all the report's conclusions by clicking the purple annotations. Then, the source will be shown on the right side of the screen:

Insights

All data you decide to send to the Research Hub from various sources will be presented as pieces of feedback for you to analyze:

If you find a specific Insight specifically valuable and you want to know more about it, you can add the Insight to the Tracked list (by clicking the Track button). Once the Insight is moved to Tracked, you'll be able to see a full Summary:

In the second tab (Feedback), you can see specific reviews this Insight is based on:

Dashboard

In the Dashboard tab, you can create custom charts and dashboards within your Research Project. These charts and dashboards are specific to the feedback and analysis of particular research projects. Click +Add Chart to create your first widget. In the creation view, you can choose the chart type, specify the dates you want to include, and add a breakdown to your data.

Once you create your first widget, you can add more via the +Add Chart button in the upper right-hand corner of the screen:

❗ If you want to use the Insights Breakdown, please note that only the tracked insights will be included.

Research Assistant

The Research Assistant can answer your question based on data from various sources that you synced to the Research Hub and used in this Research project.

Data

In the Data tab of your Research Project, you can adjust or add new data sources to the Project. You can connect more integrations, connect selected surveys, add files, or transcriptions.

If you add more data to your project and want to include it in the report, click Regenerate. Please note that a report has to be approved for the Regenerate button to appear.

Setup

In the Setup tab of your Research Project, you can update the project's name, type, sources, description, and more. Please note that making these changes may regenerate the Report and Insights.
