Set Up Multi-Audience Support

Sidekick Answers can support multiple Audiences. If your organization’s Help Center is configured to serve more than one Audience, Sidekick Answers can also be configured for each Audience (or brand). Each Audience can be set up with its own Sidekick Answers configuration–pulling from its own subset of Public Answers and delivering unique guidance for each brand.

To utilize multi-audience support with Sidekick Answers:

• Review Public Answers for each Audience.

• Consider customizing How to speak to customers or When to get more help tiles specific to each Audience.

• Contact Gladly Support or your Gladly Account Representative for assistance configuring Sidekick Answers for multiple Audiences.

Create a Sidekick-specific Audience for Sidekick Answers

Sidekick Answers relies on Public Answers in order to engage with Customers. The more robust this set of Public Answers, the more assistance Sidekick will be able to provide. However, there may be certain Answers not suited for general access through the Help Center. For content you would like Sidekick to respond to, but don’t want to make widely available, we recommend creating a new Audience for Sidekick.

As you create a new Audience, be sure to consider:

• A name for this Audience that will allow Agents to easily recognize the intent.

  • E.g. “Sidekick Answers.”

• The Public Answers you would like associated with this Audience for Sidekick to access.

• Any new Public Answers you will need to create to cover topics for Sidekick to assist with.

Once you have configured a Sidekick Audience, Contact Gladly Support or your Gladly Account Representative for assistance limiting Sidekick to pull from this specific subset of Public Answers.
