Using Zendesk tags​

Read here for an overview of Zendesk tags.

We automatically import your Zendesk tags. You can use these in HelpHub so that the user only sees a subset of your docs.

When would this make sense? Let’s say you have 3 products (A, B, and C) that are all included in your documentation and tagged accordingly. Your user has access to products A and B. You might want to only show docs to that user for products A and B, but not for product C.

You can use the SDK method setHelpHubFilter to implement this.

window.CommandBar.setHelpHubFilter({labels: ['Product_A', 'Product_B']})

Note: Zendesk tags can only be updated in Zendesk, not in CommandBar.
