Welcome Guide for Users

Updated 

Sprinklr Community allows users with a myriad of opportunities to engage, connect, and achieve their goals. They can participate in discussions, share their knowledge and experiences, seek advice, and offer support to fellow members. By actively contributing to the community's content, users can establish their reputation, build professional networks, and gain valuable insights from experts in their field. Additionally, they can participate in events, contests, polls and other engagement initiative to gain recognition and rewards. This article lays down the sign up process along with the simple actions they can take on the community.

Note:

  • Some of the below-mentioned actions require appropriate permission to be given to the users.

  • Federated Search: With the help of AI, the search model on the Community can be trained to provide better results based on certain criteria, for example, ranking posts with accepted solutions higher. Additionally, you can display results from sources other than Community, such as external knowledge repositories, etc. To get this capability enabled, reach out to support at tickets@sprinklr.com.

  • For a multi-language community, the community URL will include the selected locale language of the customer.

Sign up in Community

    Note:

    You can block users from login/signup into the community by providing their IP addresses/emails. Also, you can define the email domains to allow only those to signup on Community. To enable these capabilities, raise a support ticket at tickets@sprinklr.com.

  2. On the Welcome pop-up window, click Sign up.

  3. On the Let's Get Started window, fill in the First NameLast NameUsername (Username must be 3 characters long. It could contain lowercase(a-z), number(0-9) and special characters), Email, and Password. (Password must have at least 8 characters, contain one uppercase letter, contain one lowercase letter, one number (0-9) and one special character (!,$,#,…))

  4. Check the I'm not a robot box.

Forgot Password

You can implement rate limits and enable reCAPTCHA for the "forgot password" flow to enhance security measures by reaching out to Sprinklr support at tickets@sprinklr.com .

IP-Based Limiting:

This feature prevents a single IP address from generating too many requests, which could suggest a DDoS attack or a malfunctioning script. The specific limit would vary based on expected traffic, but a common value might be 10-20 requests per hour.

User-Based Limiting:

This functionality restricts a single user from making excessive requests. The limit could be set based on specific requirements, with a typical value being 3-5 requests per hour.

IP-User Combination Limiting (Current Implementation):

This feature prevents a single user from making an excessive number of requests from a single IP address. It proves useful in scenarios where a user shares an IP address, such as in a public WiFi hotspot. The limit for this could align with the user-based limit.

Additionally, reCAPTCHA will be incorporated, with backend token verification at every attempt for added security.

    Note: You can restrict the users from using the previously used passwords while changing it in Profile Settings or while resetting it in case they forgot the password. For example, when a password is changed, the old password must not be reused until either: at least four (4) other passwords have been used, or at least 4 months have passed, whichever is longer. You can control the time duration and the number of passwords. To get this capability enabled, reach out to support at tickets@sprinklr.com.

    Additionally, to ensure user account security, you can put a restriction in place that allows a user to send, e.g., a maximum of 3 reset password emails within a 10-minute time frame for a particular email address. This limitation helps prevent excessive or unauthorized password reset attempts. If a user attempts to send more than specified password requests within the specified time period, an error message stating "Something went wrong" will be displayed on the user interface (UI). For specific details regarding the exact time duration and the number limit of password reset emails, it is recommended to reach out to the support team at tickets@sprinklr.com.
