Community & Social Customer Care guides

Community and social customer care need consistent standards for both public conversation and individual cases. These guides cover moderation decisions, response quality, escalation routes, service handoffs and the evidence used to confirm resolution.

Choose the moderation or customer-care framework first. Then establish escalation and handoff rules, and use quality review to check whether responses resolve the customer's question rather than only meeting a speed target.
