- Navigate to the Kixie dashboard
- Click “Manage” in the sidebar

Configure Conversation Intelligence settings
Once Conversation Intelligence has been enabled for your agent(s), you have the option to configure settings for how the product functions overall. You have access to settings like minimum duration for calls to start transcribing, which keywords and phrases you’d like to track, and what attributes of a call you’d like to contribute to the overall call score.
To navigate to Conversation Intelligence settings, follow these steps:
- Navigate to the Kixie dashboard
- Click “Manage” in the sidebar
- Click “Account Settings” under “Manage”
- Click “Edit All”
- Click the “Conversation Intelligence” tab
There are a few options to review on this tab. The following is a breakdown of each section.
Call Strength Calculator
Call Strength is a number score applied to calls based on the selections here. Choose from Keywords, Phrases, and Call Sentiment to tailor the focus of Call Strength precisely to your needs. Choose all three to have all selections contribute to the Call Score, or deselect any of the selections that don’t apply to your business needs.
Minimum Call Duration (Minutes)
Enter a number in this field to dictate the minimum length, in minutes, a call needs to reach before a transcription will be applied to a given call. If your business needs dictate that only longer calls need deeper analysis, raise the number. To apply to more calls more frequently, lower the number.
Phrases
Use this section to enter phrases or sentences your agents are expected to use on calls. Conversation Intelligence detects whether or not these phrases are used by your agents on calls, and will appear as either used or unused when viewing the details of an individual call. If you have Phrases selected in Call Strength Calculator, the call score will go up when phrases are used and go down when phrases are missed.
To add Phrases, click the + icon. To edit existing Phrases, click the pencil icon. To delete a Phrase, click the trash icon.
Keywords
This section is similar to Phrases, but allows for single words to be monitored as opposed to longer phrases. The same details that apply to Phrases apply to Keywords. Use both to more granularly monitor the effectiveness of your agent’s calls.
To add Keywords, click the + icon. To edit existing Keywords, click the pencil icon. To delete a Keyword, click the trash icon.
Viewing Conversation Intelligence for a single call
Calls with Conversation Intelligence are marked with a waveform icon when viewing all calls on the Kixie dashboard. Click that icon to view more information about a given call.
On the modal that opens, there are two sections to view. One is the Call Summary and the other is the Full Transcription. The following is a breakdown of each section.
Call Summary
The Call Summary view is the default view that opens. In this view, you will find at-a-glance information about a call.
Call Details
Information about the name of the contact along with the date and time the call occurred. Below, the “Duration” shows the total duration along with the duration for the Customer and the Agent.
Call Summary
A succinct description of the details of the call conversation. This provides a higher level overview of what the call was about, allowing for quick access to overall information without diving into the full call transcription.
Phrases/Questions
A checklist of which Phrases were detected as being used on the call. Phrases that were used are marked with a green check. Unused Phrases are marked with a red X.
Keywords
Similar to Phrases. Keywords used on the call are marked with a green check. Unused Keywords are marked with a red X.
Call Strength
An indication of how strong or weak the call was overall. The higher the score, the more adherence to the selections made in the overall Conversation Intelligence settings and a stronger indicator of an exemplary call. The lower the score, the less adherence to your settings and a better indicator for coachable calls.

Conversation waveform
The waveform underneath the playback controls lets you know how often and at which points in the conversation either the agent or the customer spoke. During playback, a red vertical line moves through the call. Click anywhere on the waveform to jump to that point in the conversation.
Call Transcription
The full call transcription is located underneath the waveform to the right. This is a scrollable list of the full call transcription. During playback, the portion currently playing will display as bolded text, allowing you to follow along as you listen.
