Cited GrowthDex tactics
- Multiple portals for separate support audiencesRun separate portal surfaces for different audiences from one workspace so customers, prospects, and partners stop tripping over the same support and feedback path.
- AI chat weekly doc-gap reportUse AI support questions as a publishing queue by reviewing the weekly docs-gap report and updating the article that should have answered the question.
- Bulk publish imported release history after reviewReview imported release notes once, then publish the backlog in bulk so the new changelog starts life with visible proof instead of an empty archive.
- Direct article open from product widgetAdd product-side triggers that open a specific help article inside the support widget instead of sending the user into a generic docs homepage.
- Docs live only after first published articleDo not launch an empty help center shell. Publish the docs surface only after at least one article can solve a real job and be linked from the product.
- Dry-run validation before support-data importRun a dry validation step before importing Zendesk or Productboard data so bad credentials and incompatible fields fail before the migration starts.
- Help-center importer before portal rewriteMove your existing markdown or CSV help center into the new portal first, then improve the archive in place instead of rewriting every article before launch.
- Import changelog history into reviewable draftsWhen you move docs or support systems, import old release notes as drafts first so history survives without publishing raw archive noise onto the new portal.
- In-app changelog notifications at the moment of usePush release notes inside the product widget so updates meet active users while the job is in front of them, instead of hoping an email blast gets opened later.
- One main feature story per changelog entryFrame each changelog around one important shipped feature, then tuck the smaller updates beneath it instead of making every release note carry equal weight.
- Preserve the created-at timeline on imported feedbackMap the original created-at timestamp when importing historical notes so support and product teams read the feedback in the right order later.
- Remap or skip custom fields during changelog importUse field mapping during release-history import instead of cleaning every legacy export by hand before the move.
- Two-level help-center navigation capLimit public help-center navigation to two layers so the archive stays shallow enough to scan, maintain, and crawl.
- JWT-authenticated support widget with portal handoffSign support users into the widget with a short-lived JWT so every conversation is tied to a real account and the portal opens without a second login.
- Linear owner auto-assignment for account threadsRoute incoming customer threads to the account owner already stored in Linear so the person with relationship context sees the request first.
- Page context passed into the support AI widgetPass the current page or feature context into the support widget so AI answers start from what the user is already trying to do.
