How Autonomous Insights work
Autonomous Insights refresh weekly. When cards change, it means Active Intelligence found different insights that are more relevant to your current data.
Featured Insight
Each week, Active Intelligence highlights one key recommendation on your homepage in a detailed view. This featured insight provides expanded context, performance summaries with industry benchmarks, and specific next steps.
Click the “View insight” button on the card to launch Active Intelligence and explore the feature insight.
Additional Insights
Additional insights are available in the “More performance insights” section.
Click the "View insight" button on the card to launch Active Intelligence and see:
- A detailed analysis of the insight
- Suggested next steps you can take
When you follow up on an insight using the prompt field, you can reference an asset by typing @ to select the specific campaign or automation the insight is about. Learn more about referencing assets in Active Intelligence.
Autonomous Insights Notifications
When you have new or unread autonomous insights, a notification badge appears in the top navigation bar. Click the notification badge to view and open insights from any page in your account.
View your notifications
- Click the notification badge in the top navigation bar to open the notification menu. The menu shows a list of all new and unread insights.
- Click any insight in the list to open it in Active Intelligence.
Mark all as read
If you want to clear your unread notifications, click "Mark all as read" in the notification menu. This collapses all current notifications.
After you “Mark all as read,” the badge will reappear the next time new insights are ready.
Tuning Insights
Select insight cards let you adjust the parameters that an insight analyzes. This is useful when a default insight does not reflect your account's data, campaign types, or analysis needs.
Not all insight cards support tuning. If an insight does not have the “Tune this” option, it cannot be tuned.
To tune an insight:
- On an eligible insight card, access the "Tune this" option with one of the following options:
- On standard cards, click the "Tune this" button directly on the card
- On compact cards, hover over the three dots button, then select "Tune this"
- In the modal, adjust the available parameters for that insight. Parameters vary by insight type and may include time range, benchmarks, or focus.
- Click "Preview" to see the updated insight results before saving.
- Click "Save" to store your preferences. Once saved, future generations of that insight use your saved tuning preferences.
