Keep what your agents know
in sync with your docs.

Retrieval sources pull content from Notion, Confluence, Superhuman Docs (Coda), the Zendesk Help Center or a website into Retrieval on a schedule. Each sync processes only what changed.

From your docs to an agent's answer

Every source follows the same path, and each one belongs to the environment you connect it in.

  1. Connect a source

    Add the credentials for Notion, Confluence, Superhuman Docs (Coda) or Zendesk, or give the website crawler a start URL.

  2. Choose what syncs

    Pick pages, spaces, databases, labels or crawl limits, and the namespace the content lands in.

  3. Sync on a schedule

    API sources sync from every 15 minutes to weekly, websites from every 12 hours to weekly. Unchanged content is skipped.

  4. Agents search it

    At run time, agents search the synced content with the retrieval_query tool.

Retrieval sources FAQ

They sync outside content into a project's Retrieval on a schedule: Notion, Confluence, Superhuman Docs (Coda), the Zendesk Help Center or a website. Agents then search that content at run time.

An upload is a snapshot. A synced source picks up edits and new pages on its next sync. Both end up in the same Retrieval and are searched the same way.

Notion, Confluence and Superhuman Docs (Coda) for internal content, the Zendesk Help Center for support articles, and a website crawler for public docs and help centers.

Each page becomes clean text, split into chunks and indexed for semantic search under the source's namespace. Agents query it with retrieval_query and get the most relevant chunks back.

No. Retrieval sources only read. To have an agent change something in another system, use a connector or a tool.
