Creating a knowledge base through CRM API connection

A knowledge base helps you organize and use important information to improve customer interactions and support your business. When you connect your Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system to a knowledge base, you can transform all the helpful information in your CRM into a valuable knowledge base. This makes it easy for your team and customer support agents to find the most current and accurate information, so they can provide the best assistance to customers.

Note: In addition to integrating with CRM APIs, admins have the option to use web sync or manually create a knowledge base.

Prerequisites for creating a knowledge base through CRM API connection

• Account owner or admin privileges; or relevant role/privilege
• Basic, Pro, Business, Education, or Enterprise account
• Zoom Virtual Agent license
