The community channel is part of the Zoho Desk Help Centre. Customers can post topics, reply to others, and vote on helpful answers. Moderators monitor posts and can escalate them to tickets if the issue requires backend investigation.
Active communities reduce ticket volume by allowing customers to answer each other’s questions. Zoho Desk tracks which community posts are resolved by peer answers versus those escalated to agents, helping measure the channel’s deflection rate.
Agents with moderator rights can edit, close, or feature community posts. Featured posts with correct answers become visible to all community members, turning individual resolutions into shared knowledge.
The community channel is a public discussion forum within Zoho Desk’s Help Centre where customers can post questions, share answers, and engage with each other. Posts requiring agent attention can be escalated to tickets.
Active community members answer each other’s questions, deflecting queries that would otherwise become support tickets. Zoho Desk tracks this deflection to measure the community’s contribution to reducing agent workload.
