COVID-19 Templates

To help our customers navigate the current challenges of the global health situation, we have created a set of industry-specific, COVID-19 test templates for Insight Core.

Industry-specific templates help you understand how customers are adapting their behavior in your sector so you can innovate your experience and optimize your digital channels. Get feedback on your messaging and content to make sure you're using the right tone and sharing the right information to meet customer's needs and concerns.

In addition to three general business templates suitable for any organization, the currently supported industries are: banking and financial services, retail and grocery, restaurants and food service, travel and hospitality, healthcare, education, and employee experience.

COVID-19 templates can be found under the New menu on your dashboard, just click  "Create from template."

Learn more about the templates at Resources Related to COVID-19.
