Additionally, you can earn points by posting replies—engage in discussions by responding to follow-up questions and interacting with users, prioritising quality over quantity.

Things to remember

 - A “best answer” is a forum reply to a question marked as best by the Intercom Team.
 - Prioritize quality over quantity to foster meaningful engagement.
 - Be sure to tag @ the user in your replies so they receive notifications about your answers.
