MyPersonas can leverage any publicly available website as a knowledge source, enabling your digital clones to access and share information from across the internet. This powerful feature allows you to quickly expand your MyPersona's expertise by ingesting content from trusted websites, documentation sites, company pages, and more.
Overview
Website integrations (also called public integrations) serve two primary purposes in MyPersonas:
- Knowledge Base Enhancement: Ingest publicly available information to expand your MyPersona's knowledge
- Floating Action Button Deployment: Display the MyPersonas chat widget on your website (covered in a separate guide)
This guide focuses on using websites as knowledge sources for your MyPersonas.
When to Use Website Integrations
Website integrations are ideal when you need your MyPersona to:
- Answer questions about products, services, or topics covered on specific websites
- Stay updated with regularly changing information (e.g., product catalogs, event schedules)
- Reference official documentation or public resources
- Provide information from multiple web sources in a unified way
Creating a Website Integration
Step 1: Navigate to Integrations
From the MyPersonas dashboard, click on Integrations in the left sidebar menu.
Step 2: Create New Integration
Click either:
- The "Create new integration" button on the empty card
- The "New Integration" button in the top-right corner
Step 3: Configure the Integration
- Select Type: Choose "Website" from the dropdown menu
- Enter URL: Paste the complete URL of the website you want to ingest (e.g.,
https://olympics.com) -
Configure Options:
- Display MyPersonas icon: Leave disabled for knowledge-only integrations
- Start date: Enable only if you want to exclude content older than a specific date
Step 4: Select Pages to Ingest
After clicking Connect, MyPersonas will map the website structure. You can then:
