Why use a knowledgebase (help center)?
A knowledgebase is a self-service tool for customers. The knowledgebase can hold company information, how-to guides, and answers to common questions. Many customers prefer seeking help on their own and the help center can help reduce ticket volume. Additionally, your agents can use the knowledge base to aid in answering customer enquiries by insert links or article text into conversations. Use the knowledge base to keep accurate and up-to-date information at the fingertips of your users and customers.
