Introduction

This time we share our tips on how to enable your Help Center feature via Slack Live Chat that can smoothly resolve visitor's issue almost without any human intervention.

Everybody likes to facilitate their work, resolve issues faster, receive better evaluations and overall – make life easier. If you agree with us then our advice is to pay more attention to actions and features that can automate and predetermine your communication via Live Chat.

There are some Signal Zen features that directly relate to task facilitation mentioned above. You can find a helpful tutorial on how to use the Saved Replies feature and Prerequisites Form Builder in our Blog. We recommend you to check them as well.

This time we dedicate our publication to another helpful feature that can be obtained when Slack Live Chat is integrated via SignalZen – The Help Center.

What is the Help Center feature and why is it so helpful?

Help Center is a powerful tool that can potentially solve visitor's issue without any of your agent's intervention. Briefly, it's like a FAQ section on your Live Chat that meets your website visitor once he is on the Live Chat widget.

What you have to do is perform in-depth review, investigate and prepare this FAQ section carefully. Please note the topics should be very basic, questions - direct and clear, answers – brief. This is not a full story time with all possible outcomes presented. Why? Visitors often get scared of long read and immediately insist on real-time chat, remember your goal is to optimize.

Depending on how many topics you want to add, the Help Center can be structured into sections where you can build up a list of common concerns. Very important – this FAQ section comes with our fully integrated multi-language feature which means that your visitors will be very pleased to get the information in their home language. Professional? Absolutely!

So, this Help Center is very useful for those who are eager to save time, want efficiency and professional look. This helps to reduce number of chats that reach the operators, empowers your website visitors to act independently and get to the information they wanted faster.

How does the Help Center feature work?

Once you set up the Help Center feature on your Slack Live Chat correctly, your visitors will be able to see all the sections you've added on the widget. They can choose the one they need and enter to find more specific topics.

During the browsing session whilst digging for more information, the visitor will be able to start a real-time chat with your agents and get further, more specific support.
