Create and edit FAQ knowledge base

Due to the repetitive nature of inquiries handled by contact center agents, building an FAQ (Frequently Asked Question) knowledge base for the most frequently-asked questions saves 8x8 Contact Center agents time in fetching responses for customers. Whenever a customer seeks information, agents can refer to the FAQ knowledge base and provide information quickly. Agents can embed FAQ content in a chat interaction or an email. Your contact center administrator can publish this FAQ knowledge base on your website for broader access.

8x8 Contact Center allows supervisors to build FAQs. You can enrich FAQ content by embedding images or attaching files. Build the FAQs once, and refer to them, time and again.

Note: 8x8 Contact Center limits the ability to create FAQs to supervisors. Agents do not have the privileges to create or edit FAQs.
