Connect business data: operational sources and order status after proof

What it is and what it is for

“Where is my order?” Operational sources mirror data from your systems: orders, shipments, prices, quotes, invoices and returns. The records are not embedded in the knowledge index. Important: the agent reveals customer data only after proof, and then only the records of that proof.

How it works

  1. Open Knowledge Base AI → Operational sources and click Add source.
  2. Name it and choose the Connection: Pull REST (HTTPS JSON), JSON file (HTTPS), JSON records, Push (ingest URL), Price list (manual) or a ready-made connection such as JTL-Wawi or Holded.
  3. On the Connection tab, enter the HTTPS address and the sign-in. For Push, copy the Ingest URL after saving.
  4. On the Mapping tab, map fields such as order, postal code, phone and tracking number.
  5. On the Proof tab, choose: order number and postal code, SMS one-time code, or caller number on the phone agent.
  6. On the Preview tab, run Preview without saving. Save and click Sync now.

Good to know

  • Public HTTPS addresses only, no SQL editor.
  • The SMS code goes to the number on the record, only if the caller agrees. Caller number proof works on the phone only.
  • Status messages to customers (Messages tab) are off by default.
  • Paid feature: fetches, new or changed records, messages and stored records. See Show usage.
  • For GLS and DB Schenker there is a separate article on shipment tracking.
