Written by Raluca StoicaLast updated 4 days ago

The Knowledge area in Customerly is where you centralize everything your team (and your customers) will use to find answers fast: whether that’s a public-facing Help Center, internal documentation, or ready-to-send reply templates.

From the left menu, you can switch between three sections:

  • Help Center – Customer-facing articles, organized in collections.

  • Canned Responses – Agent-facing saved replies for fast, consistent responses.

  • Documents – Internal files and documents used as part of your knowledge base.

Help Center

The Help Center is your customer-facing knowledge base. Content is organized in a clear hierarchy so it’s easy to maintain and easy for customers to browse.

How content is structured

  • Collections group related content (e.g., Get started, Billing, Troubleshooting).

  • Articles live inside collections.

  • Collections can be expanded/collapsed, so you can quickly navigate large knowledge bases.

What you see in the list

For each collection/article you can quickly review:

  • Status (e.g., Published vs Draft)

  • AI training status (e.g., Trained, Training, etc.)

  • Articles count (for collections)

  • More (⋯) for actions and management options

Key actions

  • Search to quickly find any collection or article.

  • Create (top right) to add new collections or articles.

  • Language selector (top right, e.g., “EN”) to switch and manage multi-language content.

  • More options (⋯) to access advanced management tools (such as organizing structure, previewing, checking stats, or importing content—depending on what’s enabled in your workspace).

Canned Responses

Canned Responses are saved reply templates your team can insert into conversations in seconds. They’re ideal for recurring questions, standard processes, and consistent tone of voice.

What you see in the list

Each canned response includes:

  • Author

  • Status (e.g., Private vs Shared for team usage)

  • AI training (e.g., Disabled or Trained)

  • Shortcut (e.g., #hi, #meeting) to insert the reply quickly

  • More (⋯) for edit/duplicate/manage actions

Typical use cases

  • Greetings and qualification questions

  • Support macros (refund policy, troubleshooting steps, escalation notes)

  • Sales replies (pricing, meeting booking, follow-ups)

  • Internal notes templates (handoff, “added to backlog”, etc.)

Documents

Documents are used to store and manage internal knowledge, especially useful for operational documentation, product specs, policies, or any content you think could be used by Aura and your team.

What you see in the list

Documents are typically organized by:

  • Folder andsubfolders

  • Documents count

  • Processing (useful for tracking ingestion or indexing: processing, processed etc)

  • AI training status: if this document is used by Aura

  • More (⋯) for actions

Use Create to add new documents and keep your internal knowledge structured and searchable.

  • Start with 3–6 Help Center collections (avoid over-structuring early).

  • Create 10–20 core canned responses for the most common flows.

  • Store operational material (SOPs, policies, detailed specs) in Documents, grouped by folder.

  • Review Status and AI training regularly to keep knowledge current and reliable.
