FAQ Category

If you’re selling different products on different pages on your site/s, you’re going to need different FAQ databases to answer different questions from your customers.

Verloop.io’s FAQ categories let you do just that.

For this anecdotal example/explanation, let’s assume your company sells chocolates. On one page of your website, you sell dark chocolates, and on another page, you sell mint chocolates. Obviously, both of the products have different prices, different ingredients, and different delivery dates. All of this needs to be reflected in your frequently asked questions and answers, so you need independent FAQ categories.

5. When the user clicks on a new Answer, you will see one of the following types of answers to choose from.
   1. Text: The default setting for FAQs, you can add multiple answers if you choose to use text as the format for your answer. If you have multiple answers, the bot picks one at random when it is asked a question and alternates between the options. This makes the user experience feel more human, as the bot isn’t just constantly spitting out a singular answer.
   2. Images/GIFs: You can also use images and GIFs to answer questions from your customers. This can range from cheeky answers to questions like “are you human?”, or product queries, like “can you show me what the dress looks like in black?”. It is important to note though, for purposes of accuracy, you can’t have multiple images for a single block of questions. To enable images, make sure you don’t have any text answers and simply choose the image, under “response time”.
   3. URLs: Not all queries can be handled through the bot. Certain questions like, “do you have a video tutorial on how to sign up”, are better handled externally. Using URLs, you can provide the resources required to better serve your customers, making your bot more independent of human assistance. The URL will show up as a button, whose text you can edit to say things like “click here”, or “this may help you”. When the button is clicked, the URL is opened in a new tab.
   4. Link to block: Say someone says to the bot, “I’d like to speak to a human”. With the ability to link to a different block, you can smoothly hand off your customer to an agent without so much as a hitch. To enable a link to blocks, make sure you don’t have any text answers and choose “block”. It will give you a prompt to enter text, this will be the message the customer sees before he’s sent to the block. To complete the process, head over to your recipe page and under enabled FAQ, simply enter the FAQ category you made this change to and choose which block you want your customer to get sent to.

Users will see a Remove answer button in each of the above-mentioned answer types.
