To add a knowledge base group to a script, follow the instructions in Agent scripting elements: Knowledge Base. Agents will now be able to simply begin typing the search terms you chose as labels directly into the script, and all the related articles will instantly appear in the section below their search bar.

Helpful hint!

When you create a new knowledge base category, the system will automatically choose a default order number for it. It’s usually a good idea to skip ten or more numbers at a time when ordering your categories (so if the first category is assigned a number 1 by default, then make sure to assign your next entry a number like 10 or 20, depending on how many categories you think you might be adding in between those two entries later). That way, if you need to rearrange or add in a new category later, you won’t have to individually reorder numbers for previous and/or subsequent categories.
