How to Set Up Multiple Help Centers in Brainfish
Overview
Brainfish supports multiple help centers from a single account, so you can create separate, independently branded and segmented knowledge experiences for different audiences. This is useful when you serve multiple customer types, geographies, product lines, or need internal vs. external documentation.
When to Use Multiple Help Centers
Create multiple help centers when you need to:
- Serve different customer types with distinct content (e.g., candidates vs. recruiters, admins vs. end users)
- Provide region-specific, localized experiences (e.g., AU vs. NZ)
- Separate internal documentation from external-facing help content
- Create product-line-specific knowledge bases
- Deliver white-labeled or custom-branded experiences per customer account
How to Set Up a New Help Center
1) Access Help Center Settings
- In your Brainfish dashboard, navigate to Help Center.
- Open Themes & Customization.
- Select Add New Help Center.
2) Configure Content & Knowledge
Each help center can connect to its own set of knowledge collections, keeping content isolated between audiences.
- Assign the Collections that should appear in this help center
- Enable knowledge filtering by domain or customer attribute for dynamic segmentation (if needed)
- Set up role-based access control (RBAC) if the help center should be restricted
3) Customize Branding
Each help center supports independent branding.
- Upload a unique logo and set brand colors
- Apply custom CSS for full design control
- Configure a custom domain (e.g.,
docs.yourcompany.com) - Optionally enable password protection for private help centers
4) Configure the Help Center Agent
Each help center includes its own agent that can be configured independently.
- Set a distinct Agent Identity for the target audience
- Define the agent’s knowledge scope
- Configure response behavior and escalation paths
5) Go Live
- Estimated setup time: 1–2 weeks for full implementation
- Configuration help is available from the Brainfish team: hello@brainfi.sh
