Where does Dovetail fit in my workflow?

The core experience of Dovetail is designed to fit into a researcher, designer or product manager's existing workflow after conducting a round of customer interviews or receiving feedback from customer communication channels.

Centralizing raw customer data

  • Customer interviews, usability tests, NPS responses, support tickets, CSAT, industry reports, and sales calls can all be brought into Dovetail and contribute to richer research output.

  • Dovetail integrates with Google Drive, OneDrive, Zoom, and Zapier, so bringing customer data into Dovetail from your existing tool stack is seamless.

Making sense of themes in your data

  • Raw data gathered after conducting customer research or receiving feedback can be analyzed and broken down into single points in Dovetail.

  • Raw video or audio files can be transcribed to break down long customer interviews or calls.

  • Single points highlighted in transcripts create short video or audio clips, removing time-consuming editing software and processes.

Synthesizing and summarizing findings

  • Analyzed data can be regrouped into themes on a canvas view. This is a whiteboard where you can collaborate with your team to map your single points, similar to Miro, or using Post-it notes.

  • You can create a summary of your research from your synthesis, which can be created directly into a report within Dovetail.

  • This report can contain a video or audio reel of short clips as a compelling way to bring your customer's voice to the forefront of your findings, connect recommendations to evidence, and gain trust and buy-in from your stakeholders.

Sharing and presenting your findings

  • Outputs of customer research can be shared and presented to stakeholders directly from Dovetail to balance data ethics and responsible management of PII.

  • If your organization uses Slack, Notion, Productboard, Atlassian (Jira, Confluence, or Trello), or Microsoft Teams, you can use our integrations to share your insights in tools that your stakeholders already work within.
