Real-Time Topic Monitoring & Alerts

Your HR team is flying blind.

Harassment complaints buried in survey responses. Safety incidents mentioned in chat. Union whispers spreading across locations. By the time you see it, it's too late.

How It Works

Define → Scan → Alert

SmartFeedback™ watches every communication channel in real time and texts you the moment a trigger appears—with full context.

Define Your Triggers

Build a custom library of keywords and semantic phrases: harassment, safety incidents, union activity, burnout signals, competitive threats. Add company-specific terms, competitor names, and role titles.

Real-Time Monitoring

SmartFeedback™ scans every survey response, candidate chat, exit interview transcript, and employee communication as it arrives. AI-powered semantic matching catches variations and context—not just exact keywords.

Instant SMS + Email Alerts

The moment a trigger fires, designated leaders get an SMS and email with the source, sender context, and full message. Urgent alerts (legal/safety) skip the queue and escalate immediately.

Before SmartFeedback™ vs. After

Most HR teams find out about critical issues days or weeks too late. SmartFeedback™ gives you real-time visibility.

Without SmartFeedback™

  • Safety incidents buried in survey results for 72+ hours before anyone sees them
  • Union organizing activity mentioned in feedback—but HR doesn't find out until it's too late
  • Harassment complaints sit in inbox folders while legal risk compounds
  • HR manually reviews thousands of feedback responses looking for red flags
  • No real-time visibility into employee sentiment trends across locations

With SmartFeedback™

  • VP of Safety gets SMS within 60 seconds when "forklift accident" appears in feedback—before OSHA needs to know
  • CHRO alerted immediately when "union organizer" is mentioned—time to engage proactively, not reactively
  • Legal team notified in real time when harassment keywords trigger—with full context and audit trail
  • Zero manual review required—AI scans everything and surfaces only what matters
  • Dashboard shows trending topics by location, department, and time—spot patterns before they become crises

FAQ

Common questions

SMS alerts are typically delivered within 60 seconds of a trigger match. Email alerts follow immediately after. For urgent severity triggers (legal/safety), SmartFeedback™ sends simultaneous alerts to all designated recipients. You can configure escalation workflows—if the first recipient doesn't acknowledge within 5 minutes, the alert cascades to the next leader in the chain.

Yes. SmartFeedback™ is ATS-agnostic and integrates via REST API with any HR, survey, or communication platform. If you're already using Cadient products (SmartRegistry, SmartDashboard, SmartTenure), integration is instant—no configuration needed. For non-Cadient platforms, setup takes about 30 minutes with our API documentation. We also offer white-glove onboarding for enterprise deployments.

SmartFeedback™ uses AI semantic matching, not just exact keyword matching—so it understands context and reduces false positives from the start. You can also tune sensitivity thresholds per trigger. For example, if "union" triggers too many alerts in a healthcare context (union benefits, credit union), you can add exclusion terms or adjust the confidence threshold. Every alert includes a confidence score (0-100%), and you can set minimum thresholds to filter out low-confidence matches.

Absolutely. SmartFeedback™ is fully GDPR and CCPA compliant. You can configure anonymization rules to remove or mask sender identities in alerts—especially useful for sensitive feedback channels like anonymous surveys. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. We offer data residency options (US, EU, APAC) to meet local compliance requirements. Full audit trails log every trigger, alert, and access event for legal and compliance reviews.

SmartFeedback™ is a standalone product but integrates seamlessly with the Cadient SmartSuite. If you use SmartRegistry (onboarding feedback), SmartTenure (retention signals), or SmartDashboard (manager sentiment), SmartFeedback™ scans all those communication channels automatically—zero extra configuration. You can also use SmartFeedback™ independently to monitor any HR feedback platform, survey tool, or chat system. It's built for flexibility.

Every SmartFeedback™ customer gets a 30-minute onboarding session with a Cadient specialist. We'll help you define your initial trigger library based on your industry, compliance needs, and organizational priorities. We also provide trigger templates for common use cases (harassment, safety, union activity, burnout) that you can customize. Ongoing support is available via email, chat, and phone—and we offer quarterly strategy reviews to optimize your alert configuration as your needs evolve.
