Setting up FAQ page and Self-Help

Visitors/users can access your Q&A; as soon as you give the FAQ page a name. You can use Interakt's sub-domain or setup your own domain to host the FAQ page.

What is Self-Help?

Interakt Self-Help makes your job easy by adding searchable FAQs to your widget. Click here for directions on how to enable or disable Self-Help.

Configuring Hosted Page

To configure Hosted FAQ page, go to Settings and click on "FAQ Settings" in the side panel.

Configuring Custom Domain

Standard URL of your Interakt FAQ page is "yourcompany.faq.interakt.co". However, Interakt lets you use a domain of your choice that better defines your brand.

For that, you need to follow a process called Domain Mapping so that the FAQ page can be accessed on your own domain, e.g., help.yoursite.com.

How do I map a custom domain?

In order to connect a custom domain, you need to create a CNAME record or a A record via your domain control panel and set it up in Interakt. DNS settings are easy to manage, but control panel options may vary depending on your domain registrar where you purchased the domain.

Step 1 - Creating a CNAME record on your Domain Control Panel

Let's see how a CNAME record can be created in a Name.com's domain control panel.

1. Log in to your Name.com account
2. Navigate to “Account”. You will be redirected to the domain management panel that provides a list of your domains.
3. Click on the domain name you want to use.
4. Click on DNS Records under Domain Settings.
5. Please choose a fresh row to create the CNAME record and fill in the necessary details. This screenshot should give an idea:
   Enter Host name and address of the domain which it should point to. Don’t worry if you are confused with terminology. We will explain to make your job easier.
• Type: As we said, the record should be a CNAME alias. Hence, select the type of sub domain as “cname” from the selection list.
• Host: Give a host name. To give your helpdesk an address like- “help.yoursite.com”, enter “help” under the field “Host”.
• Answer: This is the address which your domain should be pointed to. Enter your Interakt’s domain here, e.g., example.faq.interakt.co.
• TTL: It means Time To Leave. Set it as "3600".
• Verify domain details you entered. Click on "Add Record" to save it as shown in the image.

That’s it! After you finish creating the CNAME record, login to your Interakt account and configure this newly created custom domain under FAQ Settings. Once the DNS change has propagated to DNS servers, your FAQ will be available at your newly configured custom domain.

Step 2 - Adding custom domain to Interakt

Once you have configured your DNS settings, follow these steps:

1. Open a new tab in your browser and login to your Interakt account
2. Navigate to Settings → FAQ Settings
3. Look for the option Enable Custom Domain under "Domain Settings" and toggle it to enable
4. Enter your domain
5. Click "Save"

It will take up to 48 hours for domain changes to be propagated.
