Message Categories is a feature that categorizes messages for the purpose of analysis.
A few common use cases:
“How often are users asking about wifi issues? Is this getting better or worse? How do wifi related questions differ between Tower 1 and Tower 2?”
“Do I need to hire additional staff in order to keep up with the demand related to maintenance issues?”
“Guests are frequently asking about the Pool hours often. Perhaps there is a way to create an automation to handle these types of questions.”
