One complaint is a ticket. Ten is a pattern.
This template helps you identify trends before they become escalation triggers — and gives your team a real-time view of experience quality over time.
Definition: Support experience trends are patterns in sentiment, language, friction points, and resolution quality that change across time, cohorts, or product cycles.

Support Ops Leaders — Monitor patterns to prevent scale-stage blind spots

Absolutely. This is one of the most powerful use cases.
As far as your call or ticket data allows — many teams go back 6–12 months for strategic planning.
Yes. You get graphs, trendlines, and a quote set that shows how sentiment evolved.
“The trend output gave us visibility we didn’t have in our support dashboard. We finally see what’s changing in the experience — not just resolution time.”
