The Success Community

Q&A is one of the most commonly used features in many communities. Members rely on it to ask questions, get help, and learn from others who may have run into the same situation. Because Q&A is so active, it is worth the occasional reminder: when a question has been answered, marking an Accepted Answer helps turn that…

Hello, I want to create a new role that would provide our Support team members access to see our Community user list and their roles. This would let our support team troubleshoot when a user says they aren't able to log in, and confirm that deactivated platform users have been moved to our Former Member role in the…

I joined the AI Study group call with @Nicole and @MariusCiortea yesterday (future events here https://success.vanillaforums.com/search?domain=event&query=study%20group&scope=site&source=community) ) Marius introduced the group to MCPs and we talked about how people are using AI with their Vanilla communities. I wanted to…

Hi everyone! I remember seeing posts from the Vanilla team sharing anonymized, aggregated data from across customer communities — the kind of thing you could use to benchmark your own metrics against peers in different industries.

Hi everyone, My team is considering to use knowledge bases to share about our programs but I was also curious how others are leveraging custom pages and how this could also work alongside a KB.

But the part that really stood out to me is what happens when the AI can’t answer the question. Instead of stopping at “I don’t know,” it gives the user an option…

Hey Vanilla friends 👋 Spring has been slow arriving here in Canada this year (and very rainy), but the flowers are finally starting to bloom 🌸 Let's take a look at what's been happening in the Success Community this month: 🍦 Vanilla Updates 🎉 Introducing the Higher Logic Vanilla MCP! A New Support Communication Channel!…

As you might have seen I've done a similar post on LinkedIn. I wanted to share with you a PDF that has some high-level MCP use cases you guys should be thinking about. If you have additional ones I would love to hear them in the comments.

I was well into my career as a community builder before I realized the value of intentionally setting aside time to talk directly with members — by phone, Zoom, or even in person when possible. It’s easy to get caught up in moderation queues, analytics, and content calendars. But some of the best community insights come…
