Set up a knowledge base so customers can serve themselves
Project admins can set up a knowledge base so your team can write and share helpful articles, such as how-tos, FAQs, and support questions, and let customers self-serve instead of raising a request.
The service project knowledge base benefits your team and your customers by:
Letting customers help themselves by searching for articles in the help center
Gathering customer feedback to lead to more relevant and helpful article updates
Helping agents solve requests faster by sharing articles with customers or referencing articles while they work
Encouraging agents to create new articles if a request contains useful information
Standardizing answers to customer questions instead of offering multiple responses from different sources.
