For this, we use QnA maker. This service provided by Microsoft is excellent for this kind of small talk. But you can imagine that you would like to extend 365-QA to have more knowledge of your organization. Let’s take the question we asked previously. When people ask how to set an email signature this can mean multiple things. First like 365-QA answered they have no idea where the button is in Outlook is that allows them to set an email signature. But it can also mean that they want to know what kind of email signature they are required to set guided by company policy. In this case, you would want them to go to for example an intranet page that explains the company policy about email signatures and maybe includes some kind of example or banners they are free to use. If you would like to include such information in 365-QA then don’t hesitate to contact info@advantive.be of visit our contact page for more information on how we can guide you through this process.
