How to use Pulses

Create always-on questions that run across future meetings and show trends over time.

Written by Kyle Copier

Who can use this feature?

  • Account owners on the Grow plan

  • Insights admins

Pulses are designed for firm leaders, managers and coaches, and insights admins. They are best suited for understanding patterns and behaviors over time, rather than analyzing a single meeting.


What are Pulses?

A Pulse is a single AI question that runs against every meeting transcript matching a filter, producing one structured answer per meeting. Results feed dashboards and coaching for firm leaders, managers, and insights admins.

You define the questions you care about, and Jump continuously evaluates new meetings, aggregates results, and surfaces trends.

Use Pulses to answer questions like:

  • Did the advisor ask for a referral?

  • Was the client concerned about fees?

  • Did the client express gratitude or confusion?
    ​


What can Pulses do?

With Pulses, you can:

  • Track specific behaviors and themes over time

  • View trends across users or teams

  • Drill into underlying meetings when available

Note: Pulses do not run retroactively on past meetings after setup. Pulses will run on meetings moving forward.

If you'd like retroactive insights, Flash Surveys can help you answer questions about past meetings.


Common use cases for Pulses

Growth and pipeline

Use Pulses to track sales and opportunity signals:

  • Referrals: Did the advisor ask for a referral? Did the client mention someone who needs help?

  • Held-away assets: Did the client mention assets held elsewhere?

  • Objections: Did the client raise fee concerns or hesitation?

Client relationship and retention

Understand important client moments:

  • Sentiment: Gratitude, confusion, frustration, anxiety

  • Life events: Job changes, retirement, health issues, inheritance

Advice quality and meeting hygiene

Measure how meetings are run:

  • Planning coverage: Did the meeting include financial planning?

  • Next steps: Did the advisor clearly summarize next steps?

  • Client understanding: Did the advisor confirm understanding and alignment?
    ​


How Pulses work

  1. You define your questions once.

  2. Jump automatically runs those questions on future meetings.

  3. Results are aggregated and displayed in Pulse dashboards over time.
    ​


How to create a Pulse

Create a Pulse to start tracking a question across your future meetings.

  1. In Jump, go to Insights > Pulse.

  2. Click Create new Pulse.

  4. In the editor, add these elements:

    • Name: Clear and specific so it's easy to identify and track over time.

    • Description: What this Pulse is intended to measure or support.

    • Scope: If no users or teams are selected, the Pulse applies to all users by default. You can also assign the Pulse to specific users and/or teams.

    • Questions: One or more questions you want Jump to evaluate.

    • Answer options: Choose Single Select when only the best match should be picked, or Multi Select when every match should be included.

Automating email delivery for Pulse reports

Pulse reports can automatically be sent to your team. You can either set this up when creating a Pulse or by editing an existing one.

In either case, to do this:

  1. Press the Edit button on the Pulse you'd like to have an automated report sent for.
    ​

    Edit button on Pulses

  2. Scroll down to Email delivery and toggle it to enabled. Then, choose the desired recipients for the automated reports in the Recipients section.

Using Topic Tracker for Pulses

Topic Tracker gives you a steady stream of insight into any topic you want to understand better — how it's coming up and being perceived in client conversations.

This could be topics such as fees, specific products, financial plans, referrals, and more.

To use Topic Tracker:

  1. Navigate to Insights > Pulse.

  2. Click Create new Pulse.
    ​

    Create new Pulse button

  3. In the Questions section, click Add question and specify the topic you would like tracked.

  4. Select Topic Tracker in the Select type dropdown.

  5. Save your Topic Tracker instance.
    ​

Your topic will now be tracked in subsequent meetings and provide insights in the Pulse dashboard.

To view your topic, return to Insights > Pulse and click on your topic after meetings to see the data it has gathered.

Using Pulse templates

Pulse templates help you automate the parameters of a Pulse without having to set them up individually every time. To do this:

  1. Navigate to Insights > Pulse.

  2. Click Create new Pulse.

  3. Select a template. (You can use a pre-built template or build your own.)

Exporting a Pulse

You may want to export Pulse data for internal reporting or documentation purposes. To export a CSV file of Pulse data from Jump, follow these steps:

  1. Find an existing Pulse by navigating to Insights > Pulse and clicking on the individual Pulse.

  2. Click Download CSV on the right side of the screen.
    ​

If you've chosen to export a Pulse that includes a Topic Tracker question, a history of snapshots for every ten meetings will be saved alongside the export. To adjust which topics are exported, you can choose them when exporting the CSV.

To do this:

  1. Navigate to the Pulse you'd like to export the Topic Tracker from.

  2. Click Export CSV.

    Export CSV button in Jump

  3. Click Choose questions.
    ​

    Choose questions button

  4. Choose your desired questions and then click Generate CSVs.
    ​

Including FINTRX data in your export

Pulse CSV exports can include FINTRX data on the advisors in each meeting, so you can slice your Pulse results by advisor profile. FINTRX is a third-party database of financial advisor and firm profiles. The Include FINTRX data checkbox is selected by default. Uncheck it if you’d like a leaner file.

FINTRX data export box

Each meeting’s row can include these columns:

  • Tenure: How long the advisor has worked in the industry.

  • Team AUM: The team’s assets under management.

  • Firm type: The type of firm the advisor works at.

  • Licenses: The licenses the advisor holds.

Which advisors the data covers depends on your role:

  • Home offices: FINTRX data on the owner of each meeting.

  • Wholesalers: FINTRX data on the owner of each meeting and on the advisor you met with.
    ​


Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Do Pulses analyze past meetings?

No - Pulses are designed to run on future meetings only.

Can I edit a Pulse after it's been created?

Yes. You can edit a Pulse's name, description, scope (users/teams), and questions after creation. However, editing questions may affect how historical data is interpreted, so it's best to create a new Pulse if you need significantly different questions.
