Promote Self-Serve with Article Search

The "Article search" app allows your customers to find answers to their questions before starting a conversation.
If you have Articles, your customers can search your Help Center directly from the Messenger. They can search or browse, view the results, and open an article, all without leaving the Messenger. Learn more here.

Share Your News or an Important Announcement
