By adding public websites to Slite, you can instantly search and ask questions about content from external help centers, documentation sites, and other public web resources directly in the Slite Agent. This guide will walk you through the key aspects of connecting and using public websites as an agent source in Slite.
Required permissions for setup
To add a website to Slite, you must have the necessary permissions.
In Slite: Permission to add or remove agent sources depends on your team's settings. By default, only Admins or Owners can set up a connection. However, a Slite admin can enable a setting to allow all members to add or remove agent sources.
On the website: No special permissions are required since Slite Agent only indexes publicly accessible content. The website must be publicly available on the internet.
Initial website connection
To add a website to Slite:
In the sidebar, click Agent Sources (at the bottom).
Find the Websites option and click Add a website .
Enter the website URL you want to index.
You can choose to only index that URL or include subpages.
You can add paths you don't want indexed.
Click Save to add the website.
To make changes to a website connection once it's been set up, click the three-dot menu next to the source name and select Edit source.
Once the website has been added, you can use Websites everywhere in the Slite Agent as an agent source.
How the Slite Agent indexes websites
What we sync
Here's what gets indexed:
Page content : The main text content of web pages is converted into searchable format.
Page metadata : Title, description, and URL of each page.
Page structure : Hierarchical organization of content for better search context.
We do not sync private or password-protected pages, dynamic content that requires JavaScript execution, or content behind authentication walls.
Refresh rate
Slite Agent automatically checks for website updates every 5 days and will include content changes.
To sync changes manually, click the three-dot menu next to the source name and select Sync this source.
Access control & privacy
All Slite members can search content from the connected websites, which must be publicly available.
