Read status helps teams distinguish newly detected reviews from already processed items.

01

How It Works

  • New synced/imported reviews can be marked unread.
  • Opening and processing workflows usually end with manual read confirmation.
  • Use the read endpoint to set isRead = true.
02

Mark as Read

From the review item action flow, mark reviews as read once triage is complete.

This keeps the Unread metric aligned with true pending work.

03

Why It Matters

  • Cleaner daily queue
  • Better handoff between team members
  • Faster identification of newly detected reviews
04

Team Workflow Recommendation

Use a shared rule:

  1. Mark as read only after action is complete (reply, escalate, or intentionally defer).
  2. Keep unread counts as a real workload signal, not a reminder list.
  3. Review unread queue at least once per day to avoid stale backlog.
05

Common Mistakes

  • marking items read before reply/escalation is recorded
  • leaving completed items unread, which inflates urgency metrics

Weekly queue audits help ensure unread status remains a trustworthy operational signal.
