Completing or Dismissing Suggestions
Suggestions prompt users to take recommended actions, for example, scheduling a call or sending an email, based on account activity and data. When a suggestion has been addressed, users can mark it as complete to confirm the action was taken. If a suggestion is not relevant because it references an incorrect product, channel, or driver, users can dismiss it instead.
Both actions remove the suggestion from view and generate a Suggestion Feedback record, giving admins visibility into how suggestions are being handled across their organization.
