Adjusting your confidence threshold

Adjusting your confidence threshold

InboxIQ assigns a confidence score to each classification and draft. The confidence threshold controls when InboxIQ acts automatically versus flagging for your review.

Where to find it

Go to Settings β†’ AI Features β†’ Confidence threshold.

What it controls

  • High threshold (0.85–1.0) β€” InboxIQ only acts automatically when it's very confident. More emails will be flagged for review. Recommended when you're just getting started or in a sensitive support environment.
  • Low threshold (0.5–0.75) β€” InboxIQ acts on more emails automatically. Suitable when you've trained InboxIQ with a good knowledge base and have seen consistent accuracy.

Default threshold

The default is 0.75. This is a conservative starting point that works well for most accounts before significant training data has accumulated.

When to lower the threshold

Lower the threshold once you've:

  1. Uploaded at least 10 knowledge base articles.
  2. Operated InboxIQ for 2–4 weeks with regular label corrections.
  3. Reviewed the classification accuracy in your dashboard and found it consistently accurate.
