welcome to the future of self-service communities
DESCRIPTION
Customers don’t really care who’s answering their questions. As long as they receive the answers they need.

Join us to discover how new features in the Service Cloud are streamlining self-service, social, and community channels into one single flow—for customers and agents alike.TRANSCRIPT
