Pay close attention to the id property on the article data when using this endpoint. Each article in your knowledge hub needs to have a unique ID.

• When you POST an article to Ada, we will create a new article if no other article has the same ID.
• If an article with that ID already exists, we will update that article with the new data.

If your knowledge base is in a tool like Zendesk or Salesforce that automatically assigns unique IDs to each article, we recommend using the same article IDs in Ada.

For generative bots, when you add an article into Ada, your bot will start using it for generated content. For scripted bots, your bot will begin suggesting articles if you have the appropriate features enabled.

📘

Note for generative bots: While the API allows you to create articles in any language, your bot uses only English (en) articles to generate bot content.
