Introduction #
Automatic Updates lets your Noem.AI bot pull in web content on a recurring schedule, keeping its knowledge current without you having to manually re-upload files. You can point it at a specific URL or have it run an internet search, and choose how often it checks for changes.
Adding a Source #
Open the Automatic Updates dialog from your bot’s knowledge settings and fill in four fields.
- Name: a label for the source, up to 100 characters.
- Source: choose Url (the page must return html, text, or csv) or Internet Search. Enter the URL or your search query, then click Test to verify it works before saving.
- Update: how often to re-read the source. Choose Manually, Hourly, or Daily (the default).
- Click Save.
Google Docs and Sheets #
If your source is a Google Doc or Sheet, publish it first (File, then Share, then Publish To Web), then paste the published URL. A normal share link will not work.
Choosing an Update Frequency #
Use Hourly for genuinely volatile data, such as stock levels or live pricing. Use Daily for most sources. Use Manually for reference material that rarely changes.
Tips #
Always click Test before saving. It is the difference between a working source and one that silently returns nothing.
