1. What are FAQs?

FAQ= Frequently asked question. In the SingleComm Scripter, FAQs exist as a list of read-only reference points for the agent during a call. FAQs in Omnichannel can be accessed in a similar fashion but have the added benefit of being editable and available to use as a response.

FAQs are a huge time saver: click, edit, send.

2. Creating the FAQs Inside the Campaign

Each campaign has its own set of FAQs created for that campaign only. 
From within Omnichannel Setup:

• Click the name of the campaign you wish to create FAQs for
• Click the FAQs tab
  
  
• Click +Add Question
  
  
• On the Add Question page:
  
  
  • Question: Any common inquiry pertaining to your campaign.
    
  • Answer: A simple, concise response that the agent could give.
  • Agent Instructions: Any notes or tips for the agent viewing this question.
    *In the above example, a question and answer about shipping methods for the product campaign with a note to the agent instructing them to edit the response if certain information is already known.
• Click Save Question

On the FAQs tab:

1. Search field: begin typing a search term and the list of existing questions will narrow
2. Visibility: All Questions\ Only Active\ Only Inactive with (totals)
3. List of all active and inactive FAQs created for this campaign
4. +Add Question button
5. Edit a question
6. Move the question up/down in the list
7. Show/hide the question during a session
8. Delete the question

Remember: FAQs are not limited to questions! Use them for agent comments, or anything that may take an agent more than a few seconds to type.

3. Interacting With FAQs During a Chat Session

During an active chat:

• Click the FAQs tab on the right-hand side of the chat window
• A searchable list of all active FAQs for this campaign will take the place of the Customer Details
  
• Click to expand and view the question that is most applicable 
  
• Once the answer is evaluated and deemed acceptable for use, click Use Answer -> 
  • This copies the entire block of text into the agent's Reply field on the left
  • Once here, the text can be edited to better suit the customer's question
    
  • When the edited answer is ready to go, click <Enter> to send it to the customer

Did the customer ask multiple questions at once? You can stack your FAQ answers, just make sure your cursor is at the end of the text line in the response field before you click Use Answer -> to add another FAQ response to your reply.
