How can I leverage Guru's API to help streamline our new hire onboarding experience?

Hey all! My IT team is considering joining my rollout of Guru to streamline our new hire onboarding experience. We have Okta, JIRA, Confluence and random Slide decks, so my idea is to use Guru, JIRA, Okta and possibly a synced Confluence collection (until I can convince them to move off Confluence entirely so the full company uses Guru). They love Slack's use case that mentions Guru so if any customers or current Guru employees have best practices or can chat live with us, we'd love to know the extent of Guru's API. Thanks! :blush:

Is there a way for users to suspend verification requests whenever they update Cards?

Hey folks, I've seen this question asked here a couple of times and I also asked early on in our Guru implementation. Is there a way for users to suspend verification requests whenever they update cards? To my knowledge, there's currently no way to do this. I often need to make small changes to cards and I don't want to bother the verifier with what might be a simple formatting update or sentence rewrite. To get around this, you can use the API to impersonate those users and verify articles on their behalf. Assuming you're an admin (and your org is cool with you editing the content of others), you just generate a token for the verifier of the card and then post the card content using the token. This is only worth setting up if you make a lot of small changes to other users' cards, but just figured I'd mention here in case others had similar questions.

How can I use Guru Hex Color codes?

Hi! I noticed in this blog post an awesome brand story Card that nicely displays Guru's hex color codes. Is that a markdown element? Curious if Guru can share how that was made? Thanks https://blog.getguru.com/how-guru-uses-brand-guidelines-to-empower-our-revenue-team

Brooke Wayne from Freshbooks - Template Spotlight

:brain: *Template Spotlight:* Product Feature Support Troubleshooting:notebook: By @bwayne, Program Lead - Communications at Freshbooks :leaves: > "When a product doesn't work the way it's supposed to, we want to ensure our agents have the information readily available to troubleshoot and solve the customer's issue effectively. This template keeps all the details in one central place, in case the issues overlap, and the anchored links helps our agents jump to the right spot on a card quickly. No problem is too intimidating when all this information is laid out clearly for our agents like this template." -Brooke Wayne *Check out and copy the template here. Have questions about the template, or your own examples of using Guru for competitive intel? Snap a screenshot and share in the thread so we can all learn and grow together!*

Using Guru to ensure our Slack communication is as efficient and effective as possible

Hey all - Happy Thursday! Here at Guru, we're experimenting with using a Card to communicate how to ensure our Slack communication is as efficient and effective as possible. In this new normal of remote work, it can be challenging to manage Slacks zipping to and fro/in all directions. (AKA How can we go from :explodinghead: to :maninlotusposition:...) One interesting idea we're testing out is a set of custom emoji's that clarifies the urgency of a Slack message, whether it's a high priority ASAP need, just an FYI with no action needed, or somewhere in between with a response needed in 1 or 3 days. Check out this blog post, posted today, for more on this and other ways we're working to improve Slack with Guru. As always, thread your realted ideas and suggestions here for the benefit of all! :handshake::heart::rocket: Have a great rest of the week!

Is it possible to auto-create a templated Card when something changes on a Salesforce record?

Hello Guru! Is it possible to auto-create a Guru card (using a Guru template) when something changes on a Salesforce record? I'm curious if there is a way to automate a "new merchant onboarding" Guru card after an Opportunity field in Salesforce is updated to closed won. Appreciate any insights!

Can you share any wins or challenges your team has had with Ticket Linking?

Is anyone here using the Ticket Linking feature (for Zendesk), and can you share any wins or challenges you've had? We just completed a test run with a small group of our Japanese language agents, and I'm gathering data and feedback to see if we want to roll this out team-wide. Would love to hear others' experiences (both as an admin or manager, or an agent!) so I know what to look out for and any cool things you've done with the data!

How can I see how many users copied a synced Card link?

Is there a way to see how often the "Z" button was clicked to copy an article link when someone has searched in the sidebar? They don't have to view the card to copy the link and I'm trying to determine engagement with that. Users will not necessarily filter for the collection so I can't count on that option in the analytics.

How Guru's Collection Champs organize our Collections

For folk who didn't catch last week's Guru Deep Dives, we heard from a few different Collection Champs at Guru about how they organize their department's Collections. Check out this clip where Emily Nguyen walks through the Marketing Collection: https://getguru.wistia.com/medias/hn10ks6tom

Do you have tips on using Guru emojis in Slack for adding Cards from Slack into Guru?

:wave: hey everyone, happy Friday. Quick question for those using Slack Reacj channeler. I'm trying to find a good workaround for the limitation on using the same emoji for different channels/purposes. I'm assuming most people are creating a different emoji for each purpose , is this the case or do you have any other suggestions? I really like the Guru brain emoji, and I wish I could keep using that consistently across the different channels.

Does anyone have any recommendations for vendors that do first-time/new manager training?

:wave: Hey Guru Sales friends! Does anyone have any *recommendations for vendors that do first-time/new manager training*? I want them to have a safe (virtual) space to practice the basics and learn from/connect with others outside of our org. I'm thinking of AMA off the top of my head, but would love recommendations.

What tools are teams using for innovation management, ideation etc?

Hi all, what tools are teams using for innovation management, ideation etc? Any that play nice with Guru and are well suited to an SME business? Would really like it to handle capture and rating of ideas with the least friction possible, perhaps also measure / assess the value of them, but doesn't necessarily have to facilitate the project management aspect of seeing the development of an idea through to completion.
