Make KB public

Last updated: September 9, 2026

Your Knowledge Base can be provided as a public Help Center that visitors can use without chat.

Public endpoints

The following endpoints are available without authentication:

EndpointDescription
/api/v1/public/kb/categoriesAll visible categories
/api/v1/public/kb/articles/:slugSingle article by slug
/api/v1/public/kb/search?q=...Full-text search in articles

Search

The public search searches:

  • Titles of articles
  • Content of articles
  • Excerpts

Only published articles in visible categories are found.

Article URLs

Each article has a slug (URL-friendly name) that is automatically generated from the title:

  • Title: "Wie richte ich mein Widget ein?"
  • Slug: wie-richte-ich-mein-widget-ein

SEO

For public articles, we recommend:

  1. Maintain meta title (used as <title>)
  2. Maintain meta description (used for <meta name="description">)
  3. Use structured headings (H1, H2, H3) in the content
  4. Descriptive slugs — the auto-slug is usually good but can be manually adjusted

Feedback Widget

On every public article, visitors can provide feedback:

  • "Was this article helpful?" — Yes/No + optional comment
  • The feedback appears under Knowledge Base → Analytics → Feedback

Integration in Chat Widget

The AI bot automatically links to relevant KB articles when "Show sources" is activated in the AI configuration. Visitors can click directly from the chat to the article.
