Hi,

We use the answer bot in an Intranet where all users are authenticated.
We want to restrict access to all articles, is there a way to authenticate the users without them knowing it ? 

Best regards

Fabien

Hello Fabien, 

If all your users are already authenticated in the Help Center, there’s no need to log in again to see the articles. Once they log into the Help Center, they will see all restricted articles in the Web Widget.

However if you add the Web Widget to an external website (outside of Zendesk Guide) and have restricted articles, you would need to generate a shared secret and add it to a JWT token. Once it’s done, you will need to add additional snippets to the website’s code. This snippet will automatically authenticate the users on your external website and show restricted content. Here’s the Guide article you can follow Using restricted Help Center content with the Web Widget.

Hi there! When I go to create my triggers and I click "test and configure" the three article suggestions pop up with no problem. However, there is no option to select add articles there is only an option "done". When I click that and return to my trigger set up under "list of article labels to be included" it says there are no labels currently set. How do it fix this?

Hi Amelia,

If I'm understanding this right, it sounds like you may not have set any labels on your articles? If so, here's how to do that: Using labels on your help center articles

That should do it Dave! Thank you SO much.

Hello , Arianne say : "If all your users are already authenticated in the Help Center, there’s no need to log in again to see the articles. Once they log into the Help Center, they will see all restricted articles in the Web Widget."

do you knows if this sentence is correct also in the new BOT experience? Because my bot (not classical wdiget )did'nt find resticted articles..

Hi Gabriele,

With the Messaging experience, using Flow Builder the bot isn't able to present articles if you restrict your help center visibility.

For reference, see this article: Can Flow Builder display articles from a non-public help center?

Hope this clarifies!

Hello!

I'm trying to work out why the answer bot is not working for emails created through the Web form from our website. We have "request received" notifications set up and when doing testing. THe answer bot code (below) only works on emails sent as replies to klaviyo flows or emails sent directly to our email address.

Would you be able to help me understand why this may be?

{% if answer_bot.article_count > 0 %}
Here are some great articles that may help:
{{answer_bot.article_list}}
{% endif %}

The trigger is not firing if I add a priority condition, we want to suggest article for our Low priority tickets, (our priority is setup via API and its updates instantly after the ticket is created).
Any idea I can utilize the trigger and set it for the low tickets - I have tried to do it with tags but again its not working !? 

 

Or is there a way to setup the article suggestion via API?

Hi Matt,

I have tested the same syntax on my end and it worked completely. You need to make sure that you select Answer Bot as the action. Here is the actual syntax I used for the email body.
 
Thank you for reaching out.

Please be patient and we'll get back to you the soonest.

{% if answer_bot.article_count > 0 %}
Here are some great articles that may help:
{{answer_bot.article_list}}
{{answer_bot.first_article_body}}
{% endif %}

 
Hi Mgo,
 
The trigger above was also used with Priority as condition. If you are certain that you are using it correctly and it's not behaving as expected, please contact our support directly so that we can investigate further.
