Did you know that you can generate a Sitemap (a list of all the URLs in your website) and add them all at once as a source of data to train your Bot?

Uploading a sitemap is especially useful if you have an existing help center or a knowledge base site with tons of pages and articles. However, instead of copying every single URL from your website, Botsonic can generate a list of URLs and you can choose and select which ones to add for training your Bot.

Step 1 - View the Bot Settings

Click [Home] from the left hand side menu to access your [Dashboard]. Click to open a bot from the the "Your Bots" section. If you haven't created a Bot yet, read this Quick Start Guide

Step 2 - Add a Sitemap

👉

Botsonic can access and reference content from most websites, with a few exceptions:

• webpages that are not published publicly
• webpages that restrict crawling
• content that is behind paywalls or requires user authentication
• webpages that primarily consists of image, audio, or video content without any accompanying texts

1. Click [Sources], then click [Links].
2. You can either crawl webpages by providing a top-level domain or submit an XML sitemap.
   • Crawl Webpages - provide a top-level domain, eg. https://writesonic.com
   • Submit an XML sitemap - provide an XML sitemap URL, eg. https://writesonic.com/sitemap.xml
3. Click [Continue] or [Load sitemap]
4. Review the list of links generated, uncheck the ones you don't want to include, then hit [Start training].

Step 3 - View Link Status

Click [Sources], then click [Links] to view if the link status is waiting, processing, and trained

Step 4 - Configure the Link Settings
