What Does Community Automation Mean?

Community automation uses AI-assisted workflows, business rules and connected systems to automate repeatable customer-community tasks such as knowledge discovery, moderation triage, member support, escalation and engagement.

Converiqo helps organizations automate community operations while keeping human moderators and existing community platforms in control of native forum features.

For customer communities, this includes knowledge discovery—integrating with our Customer Self-Service Automation, Ticketing System Automation, and Employee Self-Service Automation—unanswered question detection, moderation triage, and support escalation.

The phrase "community automation" can also refer to communities of people who learn or collaborate around automation technologies. On this page, community automation specifically means automating customer-community operations and support workflows.

Community Automation vs an Automation Community

Community automation refers to technology that automates customer-community tasks such as moderation, knowledge discovery, support escalation and member engagement. An automation community is a group of people who learn, discuss and collaborate around automation technologies. Converiqo focuses on automating workflows around a customer community platform, not building a community whose subject is automation.
