You can upload documents to a knowledge base by hand, but your documents usually live somewhere that keeps changing. A connector links the knowledge base to that source, imports everything in scope, and then keeps it current on a schedule.
What you will learn
Connect once
Pick the source, authorize the account, choose the scope, which pages or folders, and how often to sync.
The first import
Everything in scope comes in and is processed into chunks, the same as documents you upload by hand.
It stays current
On each sync, changed documents are re-imported and re-chunked, and documents removed at the source are removed from the knowledge base too.
Answers reflect the source
Agents read the content from the latest successful sync. Source changes become available after the next sync processes them.
The lifecycle
The video follows one connector through its whole life: picking Notion as the source, authorizing the account, scoping which pages sync, and choosing the frequency. The first import brings everything in scope into the knowledge base as chunks. From then on the connector re-syncs on schedule: a page edited at the source is re-imported, and a page deleted at the source leaves the knowledge base.
Check sync status
After changing a source document, check that the next sync succeeds before testing an answer that depends on the change. Choose a sync frequency that matches how often the source changes.
