Organize
Keep the discussions on your community, organized. Multiple topic types like ideas, questions, problems and announcements will provide your customers with a superior navigation experience besides, reducing the time taken to uncover the best solution.
Private Forum
Building an internal community and encouraging discussions is the easiest way for knowledge sharing within your business. You can setup a private or company-only forum where support agents can brainstorm ideas, discuss support practises and share customer experiences.
Moderate Topics
As your community gains momentum, maintaining a civil environment will become increasingly important. Community setting allows you to moderate the first post in a forum, for you to ensure quality discussions and defuse squabbles if any.
Topic-to-Request Creation
Create requests from topics on the fly. When a customer posts a topic, the system generates a request for it in its mapped department. Support agent can respond to a post from within the request, which in turn will post a reply to the topic in your community.
Auto-suggest Topics
When a customer creates a new topic, Zoho Desk will automatically suggest a list of pre-existing topics from your community. This will deflect a customer from creating a new post for an already discussed topic besides, finding a solution pretty quick.
Follow and Notifications
Customers and agents can follow other users or topics that reflects their personal interest or of their area of expertise. You can even send an e-mail notification to users about your recent post in the community while keeping track of replies as and when they're left.
Forum Analytics
Measure, dissect and understand the data that you care about most. Monitor your community activity for key statistics like user participation, topic types, response trends, etc.
