Knowledge Connectors

Automatically pull content from external sources like Zendesk into your knowledge base.

What are Knowledge Connectors?

Knowledge Connectors let you automatically import content from external sources into your BLEUM knowledge base. Instead of manually copying articles, you connect to a source and BLEUM pulls the content in and keeps it up to date.

The most common connector is Zendesk Help Center, which syncs your existing support articles so your AI agent can reference them during calls.

Available Connector Types

ConnectorDescription
Manual UploadWrite or paste content directly. Best for FAQs and curated content.
Zendesk Help CenterSyncs published articles from your Zendesk account automatically.
URL / SitemapImports content from specific web pages or an entire sitemap.

Setting Up Zendesk Sync

Connect your Zendesk account

Navigate to Knowledge Connectors and click "Enable Zendesk." You will need your Zendesk subdomain and to authorize the connection.

Choose what to sync

Filter by categories, sections, or labels. You can sync everything or just specific parts of your help center.

Start the sync

Click "Sync Now" to pull articles. BLEUM strips formatting, chunks the content, and creates searchable embeddings automatically.

Set a schedule

Choose daily, weekly, or manual sync to keep your knowledge base current as you update Zendesk articles.

Good to know: Only published articles are synced. Drafts, images, attachments, and internal notes are not imported.

Testing Your Content

After syncing, use the Test Query panel to verify your content works. Enter a question a caller might ask, review the AI-generated answer, check the confidence score, and see which source documents were used.

Tip: If answers are not accurate, try adding more specific content or rephrasing your documents to better match how callers actually ask questions.

Common Questions

Daily sync is recommended if you update articles frequently. Weekly is fine if your content rarely changes. You can always trigger a manual sync after making big changes.

Yes. When an article is unpublished or deleted in Zendesk, the next sync removes it from your BLEUM knowledge base too.
