  2. Check current help articlesFind an approved, published article that answers the question. Note its public link and any uncertain details.
  3. Reply in the website chatShare only supported facts and the article link. If no article supports an answer, acknowledge the question and say staff will follow up.
  4. Hand off uncertain answersLeave a short internal note about what staff should confirm. Assign the same chat to the support team you choose.
