# Transform Community

{% hint style="info" %}
The Transform Community is hosted outside Transform.

Avoid sharing secrets or sensitive data in community posts.

Use [Contact Support](/resources/contact-support.md) for urgent or account-specific issues.
{% endhint %}

### Overview

The Transform Community provides a shared space for product questions, bug reports, and feature ideas.

Community channels complement support. They are best for general workflow questions and shared patterns.

### Key Concepts

* **Community**: public discussion space hosted outside Transform
* **Channel**: topic-based area used to route questions
* **Support**: private channel for account-specific or urgent issues

### How It’s Used

Use community channels for workflow questions and best practices.

Use support for urgent, billing, security, and access issues.

### Benefits

* Faster answers through shared patterns
* Reduced duplicate questions through searchable threads
* Better product feedback through structured ideas and bug reports

### Setup Steps

1. Request a community invitation: <help@transform.ai>.
2. Read the [Transform Community Guidelines](/resources/transform-community.md).
3. Post an introduction in the general channel.
4. Route posts using the channel directory.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Don’t share passwords, API tokens, or client/customer PII. Redact screenshots before posting.
{% endhint %}

### Best Practices

* Keep one topic per post.
* Include scope and reproduction steps for bugs.
* Follow up with the resolution when an answer works.

### Overview

Community guidelines keep support and discussion productive.

They protect sensitive information and maintain respectful collaboration.

### Key Concepts

* **Channel**: topic-based area used to route posts
* **Thread**: follow-up discussion that keeps channels scannable
* **Moderation**: enforcement of guidelines for safety and usability

### How It’s Used

Use these guidelines for every community post.

Use support instead of community channels for urgent or account-specific issues.

### Benefits

* Faster answers through better routing and clearer posts
* More usable channels through thread hygiene
* Reduced risk through consistent data handling

### Setup Steps

1. Route posts to the correct channel type (help, bugs, ideas).
2. Use threads for follow-ups.
3. Keep one topic per post.
4. Redact sensitive information in screenshots.

### Quick routing

Post in the right place for faster answers.

* How-to questions → help channel
* Bugs and errors → bugs channel
* Feature ideas → ideas channel

### Be professional

* Be respectful.
* Assume positive intent.
* Disagree on ideas, not people.

### Protect data

* Don’t post confidential client information.
* Don’t share passwords, API tokens, or credentials.
* Redact screenshots before posting.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Don’t share client or customer PII in community channels. Redact before posting.
{% endhint %}

### No spam or unwanted self-promotion

* Don’t send unsolicited DMs.
* Don’t post affiliate links.
* Don’t aggressively self-promote.

Share resources only if they help. Add context when you do.

### Keep channels usable

* Use threads for follow-ups.
* Search before starting a new post.
* Keep one topic per message.

### Moderation

Transform moderators may remove content that breaks these rules.

Repeated issues may result in removal from the community space.

### Summary

Guidelines optimize for routing, professionalism, and safe handling of sensitive data.

### Quick routing

Start in the right channel for faster answers.

* Intros and general chat → general channel
* “How do I...?” questions → help channel

* Feature requests → ideas channel
* Transform updates (read-only) → announcements channel

Not sure? Start in the help channel.

### Key Concepts

* **General channel**: introductions and broad discussion
* **Help channel**: workflow questions and setup guidance
* **Bugs channel**: defect reports with reproduction steps
* **Ideas channel**: product improvements and feature requests
* **Announcements channel**: product updates (read-only)

### How It’s Used

Route posts to the channel type aligned to the intent.

Escalate urgent issues to support instead of community channels.

### Benefits

* Faster responses through better routing
* Cleaner channels through reduced off-topic noise
* Better searchability for repeated questions

### Setup Steps

1. Pick the channel type based on intent.
2. Keep one topic per post.
3. Use threads for follow-ups.

### Channel directory

#### General channel

This is the main community hub.

Use it for:

* Introductions and meeting other Transformers

* Wins, launches, and success stories
* Tips and tricks

Business hours: **Mon–Fri, 8am–6pm Mountain Time (MT)**.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```

```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
