Tips for Channel Strategy
Start Small
Begin with 1-2 channels to test the bot’s responses. Expand gradually as you’re satisfied with quality.
Separate Support Channels
Enable the bot in dedicated support or FAQ channels where questions are expected.
Avoid Chat Channels
General chat channels with casual conversation may not benefit from bot responses.
Review Regularly
As your server grows and adds new channels, revisit the Channel Manager to include them.
