Q&A

Hi! I saw that there were some Gong + Guru users out there. Wondering if anyone has any experience using knowledge triggers on Gong call transcripts. Use case: since when on calls Gong does transcription, thinking it would be awesome if we could use knowledge triggers to surface cards based on words or phrases. But not sure if that's possible or if anyone has been able to make this happen. If anyone has any insight on how to make these two tools work well together, would love to pick your brain! :brain:

Morning all, I hope someone may know the answer to this, as I haven't been able to find it (though that very definitely could be user error!). Is there a way to turn off the "Users who viewed this Card also viewed:" suggestions at the bottom of specific cards (or even more specifically the bottom of cards all in one collection) please? For context, I have a collection that only has public cards in it for recruitment candidates and pre-boarding. However because we've also been setting up cards in internal collections, the suggestions at the bottom of the public only cards are suggesting internal facing cards that those people won't be able to access (and shouldn't see unless they're employed). Any help will be gratefully received - thank you in advance! :thankyou:

Hey everyone! Sometimes implementing a new process or strategy requires major pivots, and that can affect the way teams are structured. Has anyone experienced a re-org of their team/s or a fundamental process shift? How did Guru come in to play to keep everyone on the same page?

I've recently inherited our Guru platform and I'm reviewing the unverified cards. As far as I can see, I can only request verification per single card. Is there a smart way of requesting a bunch of cards be verified (by individual) with one click?

Good Morning all - have a question for anyone with an answer. As you have scaled - have you found that the way you originally organized your collections isnt the way you need them to be organized as you were scaling. i.e. you used to have they organized by department and now you have them organized by a less silo-ed structure thats more beneficial to your overall business. Would love to hear any thoughts, comments, or suggestions. Thank you all so much!

Hey y'all! What's an approach that's worked well to get folks to look into Guru first before slacking team members for answers? At Postscript. we're still learning but when someone asks a question that someone else knows lives in Guru, we use . But..... how can we prevent this?

Hi all! We have a big push to get our CSMs using more email templates to make them more efficient; we've organized things in Guru to make it easy to see what's available and are thinking about training / rollout now.  In the past, we've found it difficult to get people to use them- mostly because they forget they are there. Has anyone ever had similar challenges? If so, what did you do in terms of training / enforcement to help encourage usage? Thank you!

Any suggestions on how to easily "draw" on a screenshot that you are adding to a Guru card? Like if I wanted to add an arrow or a box around a certain part of the image? What do other folks use to accomplish this?

I'm seeing people use the acronyms 'SME' and 'DRI' when discussing roles and my brain is struggling to guess what these might refer to. Can anyone fill me in?

Is it possible to link to a specific heading in a card? like anchors...?

Hi folks, Does anyone have any amazing examples of templates that they have used for mapping out rules of engagement between GTM teams?

Hey Guru Ops folks, a few weeks back I joined the Wizards of Ops community. Recently, Guru has been getting a good bit of love over there across channels. It's possible I had a little something to do with that (:wink:) but clearly others are fans, too. Anyway, I wanted share the :heart: and encourage folks to check the workspace out - it's been active and helpful so far, as I've been expanding breadth and depth on my ops journey. https://wizops.org/#form :thankyou:

Hey everyone! I'm interested to hear of best practices for when missing knowledge is identified, particularly in the use case where the Support agent *knows* how to answer the query, but the process isn't documented yet. It's also worth adding that I'm looking for a particular flow for agents who don't have Author permissions, so can't *create* a new Card. I know this is something that can be solved via Slack, but I'm also interested to hear of ways this could be solved using the Extension, if at all? For context, we're using Zendesk. *For example:* • Agent replies to customer • Agent then wants to flag to Knowledge Council that we need a Card for this process Would the best solution be to use Slack here? Would you use Ask an Expert?

Happy Friday everyone! Show of hands :hand:...who has a Knowledge Council where you work (aka a group of folks responsible for helping to maintain knowledge and uphold established best practices in Guru)? What are some tips for keeping council members engaged and/or leveraging the group to help improve your Guru trust score?

This isn't exactly related to Guru, but I'm wondering how others are managing data erasure requests under GDPR. Do you have an automated system you direct users to? An internal process of asking each dept to see if there's info and delete? We get a lot of these and I'm wondering if there's a better way to handle them.

Hi Everyone - I have some Guru cards with tables that when I see on Slack, the format is of the table is off. It doesn't look like a table actually. Are tables expected to be displayed properly when you look at the card on Slack?

Hey everyone! :wave: I'm looking for Guru inspiration around *onboarding.* Does anyone have good examples of cards you use for:  • New employee orientation • 30 60 90 plan  • Performance reviews • Interview feedback during recruiting

Hey everyone! I think I've heard someone say here that they set-up slack bots to answer common questions with guru cards. Anyone here has done this before, or has other best practices using Guru+Slack to share? Thanks!

Is Guru meant for use for standard operating procedures (SOP)? I'm trying to create cards for the next steps for customer onboarding. We have multiple different customer onboarding flows depending on whether they are a current customer or new and which product they are purchasing which also determines which email templates to use. How can I do that while also keeping the cards "byte-sized"? Is there a how-to guide for this use-case?

When using the "Link to Ticket" feature, has anyone figured out a way to see what Cards a Ticket is linked to? In Zendesk, if I'm looking at a ticket, I want to easily see that someone has linked this ticket to the appropriate card without needing extra steps. We're using to track product feedback and bugs so there can be more than one linked card per ticket. I was thinking perhaps some kind of API call that could populate a Google Sheet and filter for that Ticket ID. Google Sheets can be added as a sidebar in ZD, so maybe somehow there's some magic that could work there? Or if the Guru Extension could show what cards this ticket is linked to -that would be stellar!

We've repurposed a few cards from the pre-populated collection frameworks before the new help desk was created, and I can't find the updated URL for this card: https://help.getguru.com/articles/qi7zojc8/Security-Overview If it doesn't exist I don't need it, but would love to include it if I'm just missing it

Hi Everyone - Long story short, we've have some logistics challenges getting our team + partner teams to use the Guru Chrome extension and I'd like to find an easy way for our vendors to confirm they're able to use it. Are there any Chrome browser -only tasks that you can think of they can complete to confirm they've the extension installed?

Question regarding the guru slack bot. Some users experience the app automatically added to their slack and some say they have to add the app. Does anyone know what steps need to be taken so that the app is automatically added in slack for all users?

hello friends! is anyone using :gurulogo: in combination with loom? if so, i'd love to chat!

Hello fellow Gurus! At Pliancy, we encourage everyone to contribute docs where they can, and we do as little gatekeeping as possible. This has led to significant engagement with our docs, both in terms of creation and consumption. We've tripled our team over the last two years, and all the while were biasing for hiring proactive people that wanted to share their knowledge. We knew we didn't want to do any additional gatekeeping, but we increasingly needed a way to administer Guru in ways that the UI doesn't support. So, using the excellent Guru API, we made this CLI tool. Based on a bit of lurking here in the Guru Slack community, we thought others might want some of these features and decided to publish the tool on NPM. It's open-source, so you can use it however you see fit. Please feel free to open a GitHub pull request if you notice any issues or have a feature request. As a side note, you must be a Guru admin for the tool to work correctly. :slightlysmilingface: Features include:
