The Success Community

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. I can't seem to track them down now. Does anyone know where they live, or whether they're…

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. If you have some examples to share I would like to hear them, or even screenshots of your custom pages to get me inspired! Thanks.

Hi, I'm trying to create the Participation Rate graph as a bar or line graph so we can easily compare week over week, month over month, but I can't seem to crack it. Has anyone else done this already?

Higher Logic’s AI Search Assistant uses RAG, so it searches the community knowledge base and generates answers dynamically. That part is impressive on its own.

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…

Hello everyone! I am a part-time, solo employee for my company's community. I would love to hear your daily/weekly/monthly/quarterly checklists that you complete to make sure you are staying on top of everything and keeping track of all the necessary moving parts. Since I don't have as much time as a full-time employee, I…

Ideation programs can be intimidating, and many community teams shy away from implementing them. Sometimes, it's because they feel they won't get buy-in from the Product team, or they think the initial support will eventually fade away. Especially in large communities, teams may also fear receiving a high volume of ideas…
