Guidelines
Content
At Handshake, we recognize sharing among peers can drive learning, scale workflows, and help support our valued partners to leverage all parts of the platform.
We encourage you to connect with other schools by initating questions, and offering solutions or guidance based on on best practices and/or strategic knowledge sharing.
Questions posted to Handshake Community may include:
"What appointment types do other schools have?"
"What are some successful ways of marketing Handshake to students?"
"Tips for creating engaging resource articles"
If you have any product-specific questions or need help troubleshooting an issue, we reccomend reffering to our Help Center or submiting a ticket to our Support Team.
Note: Handshake will lightly moderate the community, but not comment on every post.
