Hi,
I would like to use the KCA in tickets. However, I don't want my HC to be public to end users nor Google as it contains sensitive info. Our HC is for agents only. Must I activate my HC in order to use the KCA?
Hi, anyone that can help me answer my question above?
HI Niels -
Your Help Center does need to be activated in order to use the KC App. However, there are ways to restrict the visibility of it to specific user segments (and that can be limited to only internal agents) as well as blocking it from being crawled by Google.
Note: You must open the ticket directly. You cannot use the Knowledge Capture app when you select a ticket in a view and click the Edit ticket(s) button.
Could you please explain what it means to "open a ticket directly"?
The graphic at the top of this article would seem to indicate that Knowledge Capture is available on the Guide Lite plan, but I have that plan and can't seem to find it or access it anywhere. It doesn't show up in my editor for tickets.
Edit: For reference, here's what I see when I edit a ticket. Is this considered editing directly?
Hey Wishbeads,
The knowledge Capture app will be available on Guide Lite as long as your Support plan is team or higher. If you haven't done so yet, you'll want to install the app from our app marketplace here: Knowledge Capture
As your configuring the app, you can choose where it's located. I find it more convenient to have it located in the ticket editor personally. Once you've configured the app, you should see a magnifying glass icon in your which will allow you to start using the app.
Let me know if you continue to experience issues locating the integration.
Cheers!
Hi Brett,
Thanks for clarifying. I would suggest then that the graphic at the top of this article be updated to note that you also must have Support at the team level or higher. As it is, it makes it look as though all that's required is Guide Lite.
Hey Wishbeads,
Appreciate the heads up! It looks like this article got missed as we have it listed here: Installing the Knowledge Capture app
I'll let our documentation team know so they can get this updated :)
In Markdown mode, the little magnifying glass icon is not present,so this feature is not as useful. In Markdown mode, you must use the app sidebar. This works well (search for article > click link article), except in my instance the preview never comes up. The three dots thinking icon appears but goes forever. Overall, I'm very happy with this feature and app.
