Knowledge Base: Support That Scales

Answer common questions before they ask. Build your KB in days.

In the world of customer support, repetition is the enemy of productivity. If your agents are constantly answering the same “How do I reset my password?” or “Where can I find my invoice?” type questions, you’re not scaling-you’re stalling.

That’s where a Knowledge Base (KB) comes in.

Raiseaticket makes it surprisingly easy to create and publish a self-service knowledge base that empowers customers, slashes ticket volume, and builds trust in your support operations all for free.

Why a Knowledge Base Is a Game-Changer

A well-organized KB turns your helpdesk from reactive to proactive. Here’s what you gain:

Benefit Impact on Support Team
Fewer repetitive tickets Agents focus on real issues
24/7 self-service support Helps users even when you're offline
Faster onboarding New staff or customers learn quickly

In short: your team works smarter, your customers get faster answers, and everyone wins.

Setting Up a Knowledge Base in Raiseaticket (Step-by-Step)

  1. Enable the Knowledge Base Module

    Go to Resources → Articles

    Enable article and choose Visible to: Agents & Users (ideal for customers) or Agents Only (for team-only documentation)

  2. Create Categories

    Organize articles by topic just like folders:

    Account Management

    Billing & Payments

    Technical Troubleshooting

    Getting Started

  3. Write Articles (Start Small)

    Don’t aim for perfection-aim for usefulness.

    Start with the top 5 repetitive questions your agents face.

    Sample structure:

    Title: “How to Reset Your Password”

    Intro: One-line answer

    Steps: Use bullet points, bold key actions

    Screenshot: (optional but powerful)

    Linked ticket tag: Helps with future analytics

  4. Make It Discoverable

    On customer portal, go to Resources → Articles

    All published articles listed, Click on the 'Category' drop-down to list articles category-wise.

See the Difference in Ticket Volume

Before KB:

100 support emails/week → 40 are password or account reset requests

After KB:

40 reduced to 10 → because customers found the answer before asking

Over time, this builds a more independent customer base and a leaner, more responsive support team.

Pro Tips to Build a Great KB

Do This Why It Works
Use short, clear titles Easier to search and scan
Update articles monthly Keeps info fresh
Track views and usage Prioritize what's working
Add visuals where possible Visuals reduce friction in learning

In short: your team works smarter, your customers get faster answers, and everyone wins.

Final Thoughts

Support doesn’t scale when every answer is one-on-one. It scales when answers are documented, discoverable, and delivered fast without an agent ever lifting a finger.

Raiseaticket’s free knowledge base feature makes this possible without needing another tool or platform. Within days, you can build an FAQ that saves your team hours, and makes your customers feel empowered and informed.
