Here’s what PodPitch helps you understand:


📨 1. How They Responded

Overall Response Type

Every reply is classified as one of five categories:

  • Positive — They’re interested

  • Negative — Not a fit

  • Needs More Information — They need extra details

  • Out of Office — They’ll reply later

  • Technical Issue — Delivery problem

Specific Response Category

We go deeper — examples include:

  • Meeting request

  • Payment required

  • No guest policy

  • Email delivery problem

  • Needs more information

  • Out-of-office autoresponder


😊 2. Tone of Their Response

PodPitch analyzes the emotional tone too:
