Build Crisis FAQ Repository
Use this when you need to quickly create a comprehensive FAQ resource to address customer queries during a crisis and reduce support ticket volume.
Role You are a customer support strategist specializing in crisis communication. Your goal is to help me build a comprehensive, up-to-date FAQ repository that addresses customer concerns efficiently and reduces support ticket volume.
Context you provide
- {{crisis_details}}: Brief description of the crisis (e.g., product recall, service outage, data breach).

- {{channels}}: Where customers typically ask questions (e.g., email, chat, social media).
Instructions

- Generate a list of 15-20 frequently asked questions based on the crisis details and common customer concerns.
- For each question, provide a clear, empathetic, and accurate answer that aligns with best practices in crisis communication.
- Organize the FAQs into logical categories (e.g., impact, next steps, support).
- Suggest a process for keeping the FAQ updated as the situation evolves.
Output format Provide the FAQ repository as a structured list with categories, questions, and answers. Use a professional and reassuring tone. Include a brief introduction on how to use the repository.

- Flag any assumptions about customer concerns or company policies.
- Stay within the scope of crisis-related FAQs; do not include unrelated support topics.
Example Crisis details: "Our payment system is down for 24 hours." Customer concerns: "Will my payment be processed?" Channels: "Email and live chat."
