Configuration Steps

Step 1: Configure the Schedule Trigger

The workflow runs automatically on a schedule you define.

1. Click the Schedule Trigger node
2. Set Interval Type to Minutes, Hours, or Days based on how frequently you want to check for new notes
3. For most use cases, every 1 hour provides a good balance between responsiveness and system load
4. Click Save

Example: If you set this to "Every 30 minutes," the workflow will check for new notes every half hour, 24/7.

Step 2: Configure Fetch Latest Notes

This node retrieves customer notes from Zoho CRM.

1. Click the Fetch Latest Notes node
2. Select your Zoho CRM Integration from the dropdown
3. Set Module to Contacts or Accounts (depending on where your notes are stored)
4. Configure Filter to retrieve only recent notes: Modified_Time > [Last 1 hour]
5. Set Fields to Retrieve to include: Id, Note_Content, Contact_Name, Email
6. Click Save

Data output: This node passes a list of notes to the next step for processing.

Step 3: Configure Extract Note Data

This function node structures the raw note data for analysis.

1. Click the Extract Note Data node
2. In the Function Body, ensure it extracts:
   • noteId (unique identifier)
   • noteContent (the actual text to analyze)
   • contactName (for personalization)
   • contactEmail (for alerts)
3. Click Save

Example output format:

{
  "noteId": "12345",
  "noteContent": "Customer is frustrated with delayed delivery",
  "contactName": "John Smith",
  "contactEmail": "john@example.com"
}

Step 4: Configure Analyze Sentiment

This node uses Google Gemini to classify sentiment.

1. Click the Analyze Sentiment node
2. Verify the Model is set to gemini-2.5-flash
3. The Prompt should read: Classify the sentiment of this text as: Positive, Neutral, or Negative. Text: {{noteContent}}
4. Map the input to use {{noteContent}} from the previous node
5. Click Save

What happens: Gemini analyzes the note and returns one of three classifications: Positive, Neutral, or Negative.

Step 5: Configure Parse Sentiment Result

This node extracts the sentiment classification from Gemini's response.

1. Click the Parse Sentiment Result node
2. Set Parse Type to JSON or Text depending on Gemini's response format
3. Create a mapping to extract the sentiment value into a variable named sentiment
4. Click Save

Expected output: A clean variable containing only "Positive," "Neutral," or "Negative."

Step 6: Configure Check if Negative

This conditional node routes the workflow based on sentiment.

1. Click the Check if Negative node
2. Set the Condition to: {{sentiment}} == "Negative"
3. This creates two paths:
   • True Path (negative sentiment detected) → Send Alert Email
   • False Path (positive or neutral) → Update CRM (Non-Negative Path)
4. Click Save

Step 7: Configure Send Alert Email

This node notifies your team of negative sentiment.

1. Click the Send Alert Email node
2. Set To to {{YOUR_ALERT_EMAIL}} (replace with your actual email address, or use a team distribution list)
3. Set Subject to: ⚠️ Negative Sentiment Detected in Zoho CRM
4. Set Body to:

   Hi Team,
   
   Negative sentiment has been detected in a customer note.
   
   Customer: {{contactName}}
   Email: {{contactEmail}}
   Note: {{noteContent}}
   
   Please review and take appropriate action.
   
   Best regards,
   TaskAGI Sentiment Monitor
   

5. Click Save
