In the realm of customer support, maintaining consistency and efficiency is paramount. A comprehensive and up-to-date Knowledge Base can solve two of the biggest helpdesk problems - having a single place to share solutions ensures consistency among them and, since customers can access the kbase and find their own solutions, they feel more confident about your business. Oh, and all the while, your support load reduces too.


The Power of a Knowledge Base

A Knowledge Base serves as a centralized repository for all your support-related information. By populating your Knowledge Base with relevant articles, FAQs, and troubleshooting guides, you create a single source of truth for both your customers and support agents. This ensures that everyone is on the same page and provides consistent solutions to common issues.

One of the key benefits of a Knowledge Base is that it empowers customers to find solutions to their problems on their own. Instead of waiting for a support agent to respond, customers can simply search the Knowledge Base and resolve their issues independently. This not only saves time for the customer but also reduces the support load on your team.


Auto-Suggest: Enhancing the Customer Experience 

Once you've populated your Knowledge Base entries, you can set up your support portal to Auto-suggest solutions that are in line with a customer's query before they submit a ticket. 


How to Enable Auto-Suggest 

Enabling Auto-Suggest  is simple. Just follow these steps:

  • Navigate to Admin: Go to Admin > Channels > Portals in your  dashboard.
  • Enable Auto-Suggest: Look for the option to enable Auto-Suggest and toggle it on.
  • Customize Auto-Suggest: You can further customize Auto-Suggest to meet your specific needs, such as adjusting the search algorithm or configuring the display of suggestions.


Please note: Auto-Suggest is available on Customer Service Suite and Freshdesk





The Benefits of Auto-Suggest

By enabling Auto-Suggest , you can:

  • Reduce Support Load: By providing customers with relevant solutions before they submit a ticket, you can reduce the number of incoming support requests.
  • Improve Customer Confidence: Customers feel more confident about your business when they can find solutions to their problems quickly and easily.
  • Enhance Efficiency: Auto-Suggest saves time for both customers and support agents, leading to a more efficient support process.


A well-maintained Knowledge Base coupled with the Auto-Suggest feature can significantly improve your customer support experience. Not only does it ensure consistency in solutions, but it also empowers customers to find answers on their own, reducing the overall support workload. By harnessing these powerful features, you can elevate your customer support to new heights.
