AIInsightReason | Object Reference for Salesforce and Lightning Platform

An Einstein insight is created every time an Einstein feature, such as Prediction Builder or Case Classification, makes a prediction. An insight is represented by a root AIRecordInsight and the following child objects: AIInsightAction, AIInsightFeedback, AIInsightReason, and AIInsightValue.

AIInsightReason is a one-to-many child of AIInsightValue. AIInsightReason contains details about how Einstein predicted an insight value.

Supported Calls

describeSObjects(), getDeleted(), getUpdated(), query(), retrieve()

Special Access Rules

Prediction insight objects are only available in orgs that have Einstein features, such as Prediction Builder or Case Classification, enabled.

Fields

Field	Details
AiInsightValueId	Type reference Properties Filter, Group, Sort Description The unique ID of the associated AIInsightValue.
Contribution	Type double Properties Filter, Nillable, Sort Description The contribution weight for this insight reason.
FeatureType	Type picklist Properties Filter, Group, Nillable, Restricted picklist Description The type of the feature, such as BOOL.
FeatureValue	Type string Properties Filter, Group, Nillable, Sort Description The value of the feature, such as TRUE or FALSE.
FieldName	Type string Properties Filter, Group, Nillable, Sort Description The name of the field the insight uses for its evaluation.
FieldValue	Type string Properties Create, Filter, Group, Nillable, Sort Description The value for the field the insight uses for its evaluation.
Intensity	Type double Properties Filter, Nillable, Sort Description The intensity weight for this insight reason.
Name	Type string Properties Autonumber, Defaulted on create, Filter, idLookup, Sort Description The name of the AIInsightReason.
Operator	Type picklist Properties Filter, Group, Nillable, Restricted picklist, Sort Description The logical operator the insight uses to compare the field value with the expression value. For example, if the prediction evaluates whether the fieldValue for the field bonus__c is greater than $5,000, the logical operator is `greater than`.
Variance	Type double Properties Filter, Nillable, Sort Description The variance weight for this insight reason.

Usage

When an Einstein feature makes a prediction and saves the results, the following events happen in a single atomic operation:

An AIRecordInsight record is created and populated with information about the prediction insight. AIInsightAction, AIInsightReason, and AIInsightValue records are also created and made children of the AIRecordInsight record.
If the Einstein feature uses AI prediction fields, prediction result values are written to the target AI prediction field.
An AIPredictionEvent platform event is created, and any subscriber to AIPredictionEvent is notified.

Note that when Einstein writes prediction results back to AI prediction fields, record save custom logic, such as Apex triggers, workflow rules, and assignment rules, aren’t run. To add custom logic based on Einstein prediction results, use a platform event subscriber, such as Process Builder, to get notifications for AIPredictionEvents which contain references to Einstein insight objects.

Custom fields cannot be added to Einstein insight objects.

Einstein insights contain information about target fields and predicted value. Be aware that your org may have created Einstein predictions that are associated with target fields with field-level security restrictions. Use data access features of Salesforce, such as user profiles and permission sets if you need to control how users access Einstein insights records.
