Inbox
Views, owners, collaborators, due dates, outcomes and keyboard shortcuts.
The inbox lists every conversation in the workspace. A conversation is one post Hearl collected, together with its replies.
Views
| View | Shows |
|---|---|
| Needs action | Conversations waiting on your team, plus everything someone has started and not finished. This is the default view. |
| Unassigned | Conversations that need action and have no owner. |
| Mine | Conversations you own that aren’t done. |
| Assisting | Conversations where you’re a collaborator. |
| Overdue | Conversations past their due date that aren’t done. |
| To review | Conversations with the status Needs a human check. See AI filtering. |
| Done | Conversations marked done. |
| All | Everything, including posts that were filtered out. |
Every view can be narrowed to one product or one platform.
Working a conversation
Select a conversation to see the original post, the replies Hearl has read, how many came from your team and how many are new since the last run. Open original takes you to the post on the platform, where you reply with your own account.
Owner
Each conversation has at most one owner. Claim makes you the owner. Claiming a conversation that hasn’t been started moves its progress to In progress.
To claim several at once, select them and choose Claim. To clear out noise, select posts and choose Mark irrelevant, which marks them done with the outcome “irrelevant”.
Collaborators
Add any workspace member as a collaborator. The conversation then shows up in their Assisting view.
Notes
Add notes to the conversation. Use @name to mention a teammate. Notes, owner changes, progress changes and due dates all appear in the conversation’s timeline.
Due date
Set a due date. Once it passes and the conversation isn’t done, it appears in Overdue.
Outcome
When you finish, write what was done, such as “fixed in 1.4” or “refunded”, and choose Mark done. Reopen brings a done conversation back.
Progress
Progress is set by your team: Not started, In progress, Waiting on user, Waiting on team, Done. See Statuses.
