Unhappy-customer Alerts

Turn on unhappy customer alerts for a site and pick who gets the email, so a real person can step into the chat and save the customer. Watch on YouTube

Unhappy-customer alerts email you the moment a visitor says something that reads as dissatisfaction, such as a refund or chargeback demand, a late-delivery complaint, or strongly negative sentiment. The point is simple: get a person in front of an upset customer while there is still time to save them.

The unhappy-customer alerts page with the enable toggle and email recipients.
Alerts: choose who gets emailed the instant a visitor sounds unhappy.

Where it lives

Open the Sites tab, select a site, and click Alerts in the site card. This page is admin only, and the settings are per site.

How it works

A background check reads new visitor messages a few times an hour, flags the ones that sound unhappy, and emails your recipients with the visitor and a link to the conversation. It is tuned to catch genuine dissatisfaction, not every mildly negative word, so you are not buried in noise.

Turn it on and pick recipients

  • Send unhappy-customer alerts for this site: the on and off switch. When you turn it off, your recipient list is kept, so you can switch it back on later without retyping addresses.
  • Alert recipients: up to three email addresses, each of which gets every alert. Use the field to type an address and Add another email to add more. Remove one with the cross next to it. The counter, such as 2 of 3 used, shows how many slots are left.
Save your changes
Click Save alert settings to store the toggle and the recipients. Alerts start flowing to the new list right away.

Dissatisfaction signals also feed Insights, where you can see sentiment trends across a site rather than one conversation at a time.
