Report on Deflections: The Deflection Signals Framework
A lightningcommunity:deflectionSignal event is
fired in a community or portal when a user is trying to solve an issue, such as a customer
service problem, and then views a deflection item that potentially provides a
solution.
For example, let’s say a user is filling out a form to create a customer case, and then sees a useful article on the page. After clicking the article, the user finds it helpful and decides that creating a case is unnecessary. A lightningcommunity:deflectionSignal event is then fired with information about the user’s interaction with the article, which is reported as a successful deflection because the user didn’t create a case.
You can report on these events through custom report types with the target object Community Case Deflection Metrics. The signal appears in reports as either a Successful Deflection, Failed Deflection, or Potential Deflection.
