Assist for Readers settings

Hi there!,There’s an Assist settings under the Collections section where I added a couple of custom actions and I also disabled translations for some languages that we don’t need.When editing I card, those changes are reflected and I can choose the new actions but when reading a card, the translation options don’t reflect my selection, for instance, I disabled Chinese but still allow readers to translate to Chinese and I added Italian but I can’t see it in the Summarize/Translate card dropdown.I’ve been looking for an Assist settings just for Readers but couldn’t find anything.How can I edit the options we present to readers in the Summarize/Translate dropdown?Thanks

Can't paste image when making a card from the extension

This is really interrupting my workflow because I have to open the web app, wait for it load, search for the card, edit, paste, save. It wouldn’t be quite so bad if there was a way to open the card in the web app directly from the card, but all these extra clicks are killing me. 😅 Why can’t I just paste the screenshot in the card I’m creating?

Submit company wide announcements

The problem: We have multiple slack channels and departments that are constantly making changes to product and systems.  Often these conversations are with a select group of people not realizing that many other departments could be impacted by these updates.  If you are not in ‘the slack’ channel and do not get tagged, you may miss something very valuable to prep your team or create resources/communications regarding this upcoming change. The Question: Is there a central submission area for the entire organization to submit a ticket for the department's upcoming changes? Could these could be deposited to a central location, where teams can look at a glance in case they need to put measures/training in place for these upcoming departmental changes? Could these be pushed or tagged if you absolutely know a certain needs to be aware of this? But, again, the most important is that this lives on one central repository for all teams and departments to regularly reference.

Automatically push all Guru card updates to one page

The problem:  I don’t want to inundate people with announcements, but I am looking for a central location for important updates to be chronologically preserved for historical reference. Background: I recently attended a Weekly Guru Essentials session, and it was mentioned that you could create an announcements page rather than sending many updates and announcements through the push announcement. Suggestion: Rather than pushing singular announcements, can the card updates be selectively pushed to a central resource, one page that can order updates chronologically?  Maybe even separated with "Last week," "Last Month," etc. So, if someone is off work for a week, they can come to this central page and look at last week's pushes on one single page.

Knowledge Checks in Guru - integrations?

We use Guru for all of our knowledge management but have noticed we need to rely on a separate tool (LearnUpon) to create knowledge checks and it requires manually moving Guru card info over into this other tool (to assess understanding of Guru materials). I see this isn’t possible within Guru, but is there a Guru integration that could do this? We are specifically looking to use this for training new hires and new processes.

How does your team maintain knowledge in multiple languages?

Do you have your Guru content in multiple languages at your companies? If so, what solutions do you have for it or what problems are you facing? We now have multiple boards for two different languages and cards with the same content linking to each other.

Trending topics when using workflow in Slack

Hi there,We have a slack channel where we get the team members to fill in a request form (using slack workflow) whenever they have a question/escalation. I applied trending topics but it doesn’t seem to use any content mentioned in there. Is there a way for the trending topics feature to use that content? Ideally only that content and nothing else.Thanks,Nicole

Inquiry About Using Guru for a Small Team with M365 Integration

Hi Guru Community, My team consists of 6 members, and we work in a company that primarily uses M365 for collaboration. We rely on Teams for chat and video meetings, Outlook for emails, and SharePoint for managing shared documents. We’re looking for a solution to help us with the following: 1. Team Collaboration: We want an easy way for team members to share their work updates and discuss shared challenges or tasks. 2. Team Management: The team lead needs a clear overview of each team member's ongoing tasks and progress. However, some personal chats in Teams should be excluded from this process. 3. Meeting Summaries: We are also curious if Guru offers any AI-powered features for summarizing Teams video meetings or supports integration with other solutions that can handle this task. Given these needs, would Guru be a suitable solution for us? If not, are there integrations or additional tools you recommend using alongside Guru to meet these requirements? Thank you for your insights!

Hi everyone! I’m new to the Guru community and I’m looking to improve our team’s knowledge on All-things-Guru!

Main Dashboard customization

Problem observed: GURU Home page.Intended action: Trying to add an image/video after I mistakenly deleted the Add image ( + ) option.Problem explained: I am trying to add an image into a Content block, but enable to do so. As I was trying to add an image into the content block, I mistakenly deleted the add image/video ( + ) option, now there is no going back. All I have to do is delete the content blocks, add new ones and then redo the steps. If there is an easy way to Undo or Add image option would save me tons of time! If there is a solution to this kindly let me know, if not, @Guru Product Team this section needs some work. I propose my suggestions. Thnx! 😁Attaching a screenshot.Suggestion:An undo action OR Add image/video option after the user deletes it.

Automation

Is there a way to automate the Birthday’s of the employee’s, work anniversaries, employee spotlight section etc. In GURU main dashboard? If not, this feature could be useful to create engagement within the company and get users hooked to the application.

Knowledge Triggers while on a call in Salesforce

I’m tinkering around with using Knowledge Triggers from the browser extension on Salesforce for a call centre client. For some reason, the don’t get triggered when I am on a call (using SF Service Cloud Voice), even though the right keyword is there on the SF screen, but as soon as the call ends, the trigger shows up. Any ideas why this happening?  It’s an important one cause we want to be able to surface the right Guru articles for their call centre agents while they are taking calls, so using the keywords on the SF screens to try and trigger this. Any help is much appreciated!

Is there a way to automatically alphabetize sections and Groups?

Hi all! I add a couple of quick questions for the group. Is there a way to automatically alphabetize sections / groups? Also is there any way to show the last updated/verified timestamp on the front of the card? To clarify, one user doesn't want to click the card then click Details he was hoping we could potentially put the last verified timestamp on the front of the card itself. Let me know, thank you!

Is it possible to sync https://canny.io/ as a source?

We use Canny for feature requests. It would be great if these were searchable in Guru.

Does Guru have a "Pass" feature in the AI Training Center?

Perhaps it’s not necessarily a “pass,” but a way to negate any AI related questions that are invalid? For example, if my staff enters a single word with a question mark after it, then the entry goes into the AI Training Center. I will then go into the AI Training Center to review and assign a status to each entry. However, there are those entries that simply don’t make sense or you know that they are irrelevlant to the type of knowledge housed in Guru for your respective line of work.For example, I enter, “Cat?”Then, I go into the AI Training Center and there are no results and no cards to connect to because we don’t work with animals.How can I remove, “Cat?”Is there a way to assign a different status other than flagged, or marked correct? I don’t want to keep “no status” entries in my list. Perhaps include a “Not applicable” option?

Guru Extension Tracking Behaviour

I’ve noticed that the Guru Chrome extension has started to make requests to https://js.userflow.com/es2020/userflow.js and https://api.rollbar.com/api/1/item/While most sites have CORS policies that block these requests it would appear that the extension is now tracking user behaviour. Is this known? Did I miss a change in privacy/Ts&Cs?

Searching for cards - results not filtered by the parameters used

Hi, Following on from my other issue which this forum helped resolve, I have a follow up query:  When we search using search terms, tags and collection ID’s the results don’t seem to be filtered down based on what is passed for anything except the search term - this doesn’t appear to be impact by which “search” end point we use. ExampleI have 2 boards with public facing cards (the only 2 that are public facing) lets call them Prod and Test:If I search via the API for public facing cards using:searchTerms  - populated with whatever the term iscollectionIds (or collectionUids) - populated with the PROD collection ID from this call (https://developer.getguru.com/reference/getv1collectionsgetcollections)tags  -  a tag that only appears on around half the cardsqueryType - cards I will get cards returned from both the PROD and TEST collections for the search term, even though we’ve specified a collection ID, which I would assume should filter down the results for only those using the collect

Create, invite, and remove users with the API

As an Admin, I would love to be able to create/invite (and remove) users through the API. Is there a way to do this? Imagine being able to set up Users directly from a list of emails in an Excel spreadsheet using Power Query. So easy and quick!
