Hi team, can anybody tell me if there is an option  to add a survey ( such as the one you see here  ) in the Guru cards? 

Do I need special access to get analytics data? I can pull /stats but when I try to get /analytics, I receive a 403 response.

Hey everyone! Carlos from Guru Technical Support here I wanted to talk a little about getting started in Guru. Specifically how to avoid the paralysis that might arise from information living in too many systems.   Don’t freeze. Make the process a breeze with this three-step process: audit your information, identify the best organizational structure, and start leveraging content when you need it most. Map out where your knowledge currently lives. Jot down what type of knowledge you currently have, where it currently lives, and who needs it most on your team. Make a copy of our content mapping exercise template to make this easy and simple. Structure your content in Guru. Read our Different ways to migrate or create content in Guru and  How to scale Groups and Collections articles to learn the best way to setup your new workspace. Make sure your knowledge appears where you need it most. Install the Guru Extension and practice searching for content by asking questions or submitting k

Hi Guru Community -- Is it possible to automate Knowledge Alerts when new cards are created? Was not able to find a resource for this. 

Hello, we have just launched Getguru internally and started looking into cards, boards, collections etc. We have a website that’s continously updated, with all our team members, and I would like to link and embed to that page in a card, as to avoid doing double work. Is that possible?Best regardsCharlotte

Good morning.  My name is Rob Mueller and I’m spearheading the launch of Guru for the Clean Energy Sales Team (50 seats to start) with my company, Generac. We are starting the 30 day implementation package with Guru this week.  Looking for advice or best practices to get going or community threads here that are valuable for newbies.  We have been using the free version of Guru for the past 30 days.A little but about Generac Clean Energy: This division at Generac (Wisconsin) was created in 2019 with the purchase of 2 company’s, Pika Energy (whom I work for in Portland, Maine) and Neurio (Vancouver, BC).  We have since grown with the acquisition of a few more companies with lots of employees and information in many, many silos.  Seeing a huge opportunity we were able to get approved to get Guru with 50 seats to start.  This will be a pilot with the hopes that it will be adopted by a wider audience going forward.  Thanks in advance for your time with this.  Really looking forward to getti

Hey Guru network! We are switching out from Skilljar to a new LMS this year. A big factor for us is how well the LMS integrates with Guru. I’m curious if anyone has a LMS that you really like, and that works well with Guru! We are currently evaluating systems like WorkRamp, Intellum, and WorkDay. Does anyone use these with Guru and have any feedback? Any additional tools that you’d recommend? Thanks! 

Hello, I’m extracting data from the List Analytics endpoint. However, I’m noticing something odd whenever the eventType is ‘search’For every search event, I’m getting several rows with the same searchId and different numberOfResults values{ 'type': 'search', 'eventType': 'search', 'eventDate': '2022-02-13T07:17:31.546+0000', 'user': <user email>, 'properties': { 'searchId': <search ID>, 'searchTerms': <search terms>, 'source': 'UI', 'numberOfResults': '2' }}{ 'type': 'search', 'eventType': 'search', 'eventDate': '2022-02-13T07:17:31.546+0000', 'user': <user email>, 'properties': { 'searchId': <search ID>, 'searchTerms': <search terms>, 'source': 'UI', 'numberOfResults': '11' }}{ 'type': 'search', 'eventType': 'search', 'eventDate': '2022-02-13T07:17:31.546+0000', 'user': <user email>, 'properties': { 'searchId': <search ID>,

Hi everyone 👋I wanted to pop in and share a Zap that the Product Marketing team at Guru has found really helpful.As the connective tissue between our product/design/engineering (PDE) groups and our GTM functions, the PMM team is responsible for keeping the product knowledge stored in our Guru cards fresh. To help hold ourselves and our PDE colleagues accountable, we've used Zapier to set up an automation that notifies our shared PMM/PDE channel when the trust score on our shared Product Knowledge Collection drops below 85%. The top 3 SMEs with unverified cards are noted in the message (names blocked out to protect the innocent in the screenshot below!).Because we really appreciate positive reinforcement, we've set up a second Zap to let everyone know when the trust score is back up over 85%. It's a nice digital high-five to show everyone in the channel that we're on top of things.If you'd like to try this automation in Zapier, click here to use a Zap template. We'd love to hear from y

Is the timestamp that I’m getting in the API endpoints in UTC?For example, in the CARDS endpoint, the field ‘dateCreated’ is giving me the timestamp in UTC or local? Can you confirm that the same applies for the rest of endpoints as well?

The president of our company reached out to me, asking for department stats. Now, we all know Guru is much more than that in their reporting, so would be great if people have insight into what types of analytics they presented to executive teams that have requested information.Did you compile into a dashboard? Did you compile in a presentation? I just wanted to crowdsource ideas for this!

Question: I know that it's possible to create card template's, but is it possible to create board template's? i.e if I want to create several boards (in hundreds) with the same sections and same description of the board, it would be massive time saving to create those boards from a template. The exact use case is a board per customer, where information specific to each would live, i.e troubleshooting/procedures etc only relevant to that customer.

Hi all, Wondering if anyone has experience (whether via Zapier or Guru’s Sync API) getting Notion and Guru to communicate and update each other. Would love to hear about it, if so! 

If you or your team have ever struggled to keep up with verifying Cards, it might be time to revamp your verification process. This simple verification checklist helps you evaluate any Card with a knowledge manager’s lens. 🧐When verifying a Guru card, always check these 5 things:Is the verifier correct?Should I be the sole verifier of this card, or would it be better to share the responsibility with a Group I'm in? Is someone else on my team now the expert on this topic? If it’s at all unclear, @ mention the user in a comment on the Card to discuss.Is the verification interval correct?Did anything change from the last time I verified this Card? If not, make the verification interval longer. Have a lot of things changed since the last time I verified this Card? If so, make the verification interval shorter.Are teammates viewing this Card?Click into the Details tab of the card to check the views. If very few team members are viewing this Card, consider sending a Knowledge Alert or archi

We are using the Guru Knewsletter template and really love it. Our previous solution was more of a deck someone presented on video and was dynamic and had a lot of fun design elements. I’m feeling a little stuck thinking how to bring our card to life and still be fun. I was thinking of maybe creating some graphics on Canva for headers for the different sections or adding gifs, but just feeling a little lost. If anyone else has been successful in hacking any fun design elements, I’d love to see your work. Thanks so much 

Hello everyone! I’m hoping to automate some tasks with Zapier. Looking at some other community topics, I’ve set up some Slack bots:a zap where we get a notification in Slack if the trust score drops + the verifiers and # of unverified cards a zap when we get our score back up for some positive reinforcementI also want to set up a zap where any new hire on our team will automatically get an invite to join Guru. I was wondering if any Guru users here has experience with setting up a zap for sending invites to only new team members (currently I can send an invite to everyone in the company but I really don’t want to do that) And if anyone has other Zap ideas!

When you are getting started with Guru, establishing your goals and how you will measure success is very important. It will determine how you prioritize your time during implementation and ensure all of your efforts have maximum impact on your teams’ bottom line. We work with customers to create individualized “Guru Success Plans,” which include clear statements of “what” and “how” Guru will accomplish for your team. A Guru success plan allows you to 1) align internal stakeholders around project direction and expectations 2) easily measure the value your Guru efforts are delivering and 3) help you communicate to leadership through the process.Creating your own success planThere are so many ways you can use Guru, so aligning your path with the outcome you want to achieve is important. For example…  To decrease support agent handle time, you could focus on a great search experience over Zendesk To decrease the amount of time sales team members spend lost in Salesforce, you could focus

I can no longer use the command “show team config” in the Guru_wiki channel. It does nothing.

I am on the team that is responsible for answering questions in Guru and I’m happy a bit of a difficult time getting a good workflow going that feels comfortable to me.  When a question comes in and I see it in the Inbox, I assign it to myself rather than my team's group then I proceed to answer with a comment and then either create a new card or answer with an existing card.  Once I’ve done that then the card is answered so is the best next step to just dismiss the question from my Inbox or Archive it? If I archive a question it is not super clear where it actually goes, and if I can then view it again if necessary. Also, there’s a strangeness that occurs that if you do answer the question, sometimes it will still show as unanswered but so when you go to answer it again thinking it did not take, it will say that the question has already been answered even though it still on the main Question Inbox screen say unanswered, so I just have to trust that the answer did in fact get to the us

 Happy Friday everyone! I’m Lily, from Guru’s Product Specialist team. I might’ve talked to some of you over chat or calls!  Lately, my team has been having lots of conversations with folks who are asking about strategies for making the case for implementing Guru internally. So we thought…who better to ask than our amazing customers who have done this themselves? I wanted to start up a conversation in the Community, with a couple questions to get the convo going below:What resources did you use to make the case for Guru? Did implementing Guru come from a bottom up or top down approach? (or put another way…was Guru part of a larger company initiative, or did a few folks decide a change was needed and ran with it?) What arguments did (or didn’t) resonate when you were “selling” Guru internally? How did that vary by seniority and department?We’d love to hear the various journeys people had convincing their team to go from  to  .  Sound off in the comments!

Is there a way to create an employee directory with photos inside of Guru?

Hey there!I was looking at Guru’s documentation for the rate limits of each API endpoint, but I cannot find it anywhere. Can you provide me this information?Thank you in advance! 

It would be super helpful if we could filter by Board Group in the Card Manager!
