Salesforce is one of the world’s leading CRM and customer service organizations. Their Knowledge Base software, available with the Salesforce Service Cloud package, is also considered one of the best for keeping your customers updated.

However, it’s difficult for any customer to navigate your documentation and find a key answer. This is why customers are increasingly opting to chat with these documentation databases.

If you want to give your customers the same option, create a FAQ chatbot

Thankfully, we have a method in which you can train a chatbot with your Knowledge Base without doing any coding. 

In this tutorial blog, we’ll take you through setting up a Salesforce Knowledge Base chatbot through Kommunicate. If you haven’t signed up, you can register on this page

Step 1: Go to the Kommunicate Dashboard

Open AI, Anthropic, and Gemini (from Google) are the leading AI companies worldwide. At Kommunicate, you can access the latest frontier models to automate customer service with increased efficiency. 

  • Start by clicking on Create a Bot and opening the Bot Integrations page. Scroll down to find the option to train your chatbot with:
  1. Open AI’s ChatGPT (A). You can create ChatGPT 4-o Mini bots, ChatGPT 4-o bots, and ChatGPT 3.5-Turbo Bots
  2. Google’s Gemini (B) – We currently support Gemini 1.5 Flash bots
  3. Anthropic’s Claude (C) – We support Claude 3 Haiku bots.

Step 4: Choose an AI Model for your Knowledge Base chatbot

Choose the LLM Model
  • First, choose the specific model you want to use. For Open AI, we provide the following models.
    • GPT 4-o-Mini
    • GPT 4-o
    • GPT 3.5-Turbo
  • Then select the parameters you want to set for your model (A)
    • Maximum Tokens – This is used to set the limit of tokens generated by ChatGPT for each request. (Or the number of words your chatbot will generate for each answer).
    • Temperature – You can adjust this to increase or decrease the creativity of the answers from ChatGPT. A number closer to 1 will be more creative, and a number closer to 0 will be less.
      We recommend that you keep the temperature at zero for customer service processes.
  • You can also integrate your Open AI account with Kommunicate using an API Key.
  • Click on Save and Proceed to save the changes and proceed.

Note: Your integration to Google’s Gemini and Anthropic’s Claude models will also work similarly. Just choose the right AI provider in Step 3.

Step 5: Choose a Knowledge Source for Your Bot

  • Click on Knowledge Source on the left-hand side menu to select the data sources from which your bot should learn.
