How to Add a Single Webpage to Coconaut to Power a Chat Bot

Enriching your chat bot's knowledge base by adding a single webpage as a source is a powerful way to provide your chat bot with a wider range of data. By doing so, your chat bot can answer user inquiries more accurately and comprehensively. Coconaut makes this process easy and straightforward. Here are the steps to guide you through.

Step 1: Preparing Your Webpage

Before adding the webpage, ensure that it contains relevant and structured information that can enhance your chat bot's knowledge. The webpage should be publicly accessible, meaning it doesn't require a login or captcha for access.

Step 2: Accessing the Add Source Interface

  1. Log into your Coconaut account.
  2. Select the bot to which you wish to add the webpage.
  3. Navigate to the Sources tab of the bot.
  4. Click the 'Add' button, located at the top right of the sources table.

Step 3: Adding Your Webpage

  1. In the add source modal that opens, select the 'Webpage' tab.
  2. You will see a field where you can enter the webpage URL. The URL should be the full absolute URL (i.e., it should start with "http://" or "https://").
  3. After entering the URL, click the 'Add Source' button to submit it.

Once the webpage is added, it will appear in the list of source documents.

Step 4: Monitoring Your Webpage Status

After you have added your webpage, give it a few minutes for the chat bot to learn the new information. You can monitor the status in the Source row, waiting until the status reads 'Ready'. Once the source has been successfully learned, you may query your chat bot to test for successful query responses.

Troubleshooting

If you face any issues while adding the webpage, ensure that you've entered a valid, absolute URL and that the webpage is publicly accessible. If the bot doesn't seem to be learning from the new source, check the webpage's relevance and structure.
