Quickstart
From zero to your first analyzed feedback in ten minutes.
Choose how feedback comes in
#Everything you send lands in the same pipeline — redaction, sentiment, type, language, clustering — so start with whichever path is least work for you:
⌘The API→
Send feedback from your backend with one POST — the most flexible path, and the one that unlocks identity, traits, and everything downstream.
◳The widget→
A no-code feedback button you paste into your site in one line.
⟿Connectors→
Pull reviews and tickets from the App Store, Intercom, and Zendesk automatically.
▤CSV import→
Bring your feedback history in with a guided column-mapping wizard.
☏Sales calls→
Turn sales and renewal calls into verbatim signals: what is extracted, what is never stored, and the three ways a transcript gets in.
The rest of this page uses the REST API because it's the most explicit. Grab a secret key from Settings → API keys — it starts with sk_ and is shown once.
Send your first feedback
#Verify the key, then post an item. You get a 202 back instantly — analysis runs asynchronously and is usually ready in 2–5 seconds.

Sending email alongside userId lets Sentriment stitch this person together with their Intercom and Zendesk tickets automatically. See Identifying users.
Read the analysis
#List your feedback back and you'll see each item enriched with sentiment, a type, emotions, detected language, and the cluster it was grouped into.
curl "https://app.sentriment.com/api/v1/feedback?limit=1" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer sk_live_…"
# → sentiment, type, emotions, language, clusterId — per itemThat's the whole loop. Open the dashboard and the item is already in the Feed, its theme forming in Clusters, and the user appearing under Users.
Where to go next
#◇Core concepts→
Feedback, clusters, end users, health, questions, webhooks — the whole vocabulary.
⌾Users & identity→
Tie feedback to real people by userId and email — why it matters, how it works, and the API endpoints.
