Add a touchpoint variation to a knowledge base article

You can create variations of a knowledge base article. Variations enable you to keep a single question and answer article and modify the answers according to a touchpoint. Touchpoints include these communication channels:

• Agent Assist
• Genesys Dialog Engine Bot Flows
• Genesys Digital Bot Flows
• Support center
• Knowledge app for Messenger

A variation for the Agent Assist touchpoint is helpful if you want to tailor information to the customer when they interact with an agent advisor. Variations for bot flows, support center, and Messenger are helpful when you want to customize information for the customer’s self-service journey.

Default touchpoint variation

When you add a new article, Genesys Cloud creates a single tab that includes all variations and titles the tab Default. Until you create variations, Genesys Cloud uses the same answer for all touchpoints. For more information about how to modify the default variation, see Edit a touchpoint variation in a knowledge base article.
