# Sentiment analysis for Inbox

Use sentiment analysis to detect your customer’s mood from their initial message, and display this information on the ticket in the form of an emoji.

These are the possible sentiments we can recognize and their correlating emoji:

* Positive: a smiling emoji
* Neutral: no emoji
* Negative: an upset emoji

Follow these steps to turn sentiment analysis on:

1. Go to the [automations page](https://inbox.messagebird.com/manager/automations) in your Inbox settings
2. Under **Sentiment analysis**, toggle the button to **Active**
3. That’s it! Now, tickets waiting in the queue will display your customer’s mood

To route tickets to specific agents based on the customer’s mood, visit the [Basic Routing](https://inbox.messagebird.com/manager/basic-routing) page, and [set up queues](https://inbox.messagebird.com/manager/basic-routing/routing-how-to) for each sentiment.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.bird.com/connectivity-platform/set-up-inboxs-built-in-automations/sentiment-analysis-for-inbox.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
