Initiate Guru answers using a custom Slack emoji

During our trial period, we are currently exploring the various features of Guru. I have come to understand that in order to search for knowledge base articles within Slack, we can either type "@guru" or "/guru" followed by the desired content. By doing so, Guru will retrieve all relevant information from its knowledge base and display it within Slack.However, I am curious if there is an alternative method where we can use a custom emoji instead of "@guru" or "/guru" to initiate this process. If such an option exists, could you kindly explain how it works? This would be a significant feature for us moving forward with Guru. Thank you for your assistance.

Creating my own shareable templates?

I’m a business consultant for health practices and I use and recommend Guru to everyone.   As such, I want to actually create (and maybe sell externally) Guru set ups for my clients and my ideal audience. Is this possible?

Browser extension questions

Hey all - few questions if somebody can assist?I asked this question awhile ago on a separate thread. Am I missing a one click option from the browser extension that opens a window to the webapp. Particularly if I need some functionality I can’t do in the extension? Is there a way to remove the Guru icon when the extension has been open but collapsed that I am missing? I know you can toggle it from side to side and click and drag it vertically, but anything to remove it altogether? Also, when you move the location of the Guru icon vertically, it doesn’t seem to persist across new browser windows (so new window, open extension, when collapsing the extension the tab doesn’t seem to collapse at the same place.)Thanks!

When do Guru card links open in new tabs?

I’m struggling to figure out how this works. We have a lot of Guru card links in our cards, and sometimes when we click the links it opens as a little window on top of the card we’re currently on. But sometimes it opens as a completely new tab. Does anyone understand the rhyme or reason there? And if so, is there a way to set a preference?

Auto Archived cards linked to other cards

I have not fully embraced auto archive yet but want to give it a try. In order to build out my expectations and SOP accurately when reviewing “soon to be” auto archived cards, do I need to ensure the card is unlinked to all/any other cards to prevent a negative user experience. For example:1. If the auto archived card is linked to another published card, will the link remain present on the other card or will it be automatically removed for any/all cards when auto archived?2. If an archived Guru card link remains on another linked card, typically the title of the card is present if using Guru link to another Guru card feature. I assume this could potentially allow the archived card link (title) to appear in search results or generative AI source card, Is this correct?

How do you embed an image in markdown?

Hi, Was recently trying to embed an image in a collapsible section - where the image part of the markdown looked something like this: `<img src="...image.png" width="200" height="200" />`The problem is whatever image I put in markdown expands to the width of the guru page → meaning I’m unable to make the image smaller than the width of the guru page (even if I tweak the width and height values in the markdown)…. I noticed in a past Q+A  → it was stated that Guru uses the `CommonMark` / github flavor of markdown - however, I tried my markdown in both CommonMark and github and minimizing the image size works there --- but not in Guru for some reason. It’s important for me to have the image embedded via markdown due to the need to embed the image within a collapsible section.  Please let me know if there is anything I can do or if I’m doing something wrong.

Custom prompts -- what are your favorites?

Hey everyone 👋With our recent launch, Admins now have the ability to fully customize the Assist actions for authors across their Guru Workspace. So we’ve been thinking – what custom prompts are you using to build out your library for your SMEs?Personally, I’ve been loving prompts as a way to improve existing content. Some of my favorites are:Find and replace (insert existing keyword here) with (insert new keyword here) Add emojis [in the body of the text, headers, etc].We’ve curated some best practices for writing custom prompts here in our Help Center, but want to hear from you. What custom prompts have you tested to make content better, faster?

Exact searches

I was recently using the quotation marks in the global search bar for an exact search, but was getting results that didn’t contain the exact phrase “on grid”. Does the use of prepositions or something about the number of characters in a phrase affect exact searching?

Publish vs. Publish and Verify info dates

Hi all - I think I’m late to the game on this from the recent changes. On the old publish experience, authors could see the difference in the verification date based on the action if they clicked the ⓘ icon near the Publish vs. Publish and Verify options. Is there anywhere else they can see that distinction in dates? I just want to make sure I’m not overlooking it. If not, I’ll update my users.

Specific action "Card File Link Viewed"

Hi all - The “Card File Link Viewed” is one of the many actions the analytics tracks. We don’t have any files attached to our cards, so I’m wondering what else this action might include or reflect that I’m not considering, as we definitely show records of the action. Many thanks!

Annnouncements analytics export issue

Hi Guru team!Per this page regarding announcement, any user regardless of the role can view and download readership report from the Announcements section in the Card history. We are figuring out a way how Team Leaders in our department can see these data for their teams without us giving them the Collection Owner roles - we checked with a couple of our Read only users if they can access and download that data, however, when they click Export data, they get an error message Export unsuccessful.Is this expected behaviour, meaning the Read only users can view the data but not export it or is it actually a bug? Thanks!

Does everyone in a Slack Channel need a Guru login to ask a question?

Hi everyone, I am on the Guru trial now with the hopes of rolling it our to sales and CS teams at the end of the month. A question has come up regarding the Slack integration:If Guru is added to a Slack channel (ex: Sales-help), does everyone need to be a paid user in Guru in order to interact with channel by asking questions and viewing answers?  Thanks!

Copy & paste of table not possible anymore?

Hi team! We’ve noticed that we no longer can copy whole tables and paste the content in another card to a new table.Previously, when pasted, the table content and format was replicated exactly as it was copied. What happens now is that the whole content is inserted into one cell.Is this expected behaviour and is there some reason why Guru no longer supports copy&paste of table contents?
