Overview

The Article Redirect feature allows you to choose target articles and redirect users to them!

Some practical examples you can use Article Redirects to: 

  • Set up a URL pattern so Helpjuice redirects/migrates your old knowledge base to Helpjuice. E.g.: yourKB.helpjuice.com/hc/article-1-2-3 can now redirect to yourkb.helpjuice.com/article-1-2-3. (More details)
  • Shorten a URL you commonly use. For example, if you want yourkb.helpjuice.com/phone to go to yourcompany.com/contact-us. Great for call center reps to easily share URLs via phone. (More Details)




Creating Article Redirects

Creating Redirects is fairly simple, and you can do this in the Article Redirects section AND directly in the Article Editor.

Article Redirects Section

In this section, you can manage all your Article Redirects! To access it:

  • Open your Dashboard
  • Click on the Article Redirects option 
  • Choose where the content should be redirected from (it cannot be an existent article) and to which URL it should be redirected to


Article Editor

  • Open the Target article
  • Click on the menu displayed next to the article URL 
  • Add all URLs that should redirect users to that specific article.

Why is the knowledge base important?

With a knowledge base, you can allow your customers to self-help themselves, thus reducing your customer support by up to 60%. Furthermore, you can also have your team get instant answers to the questions they need without having to email themselves all using knowledge base software.

What is the purpose of a knowledge base?

The purpose of knowledge base software is to allow you to host your knowledge base/corporate wiki in one centralized 'hub'. Both your customers, and employees can now access information within seconds!
