CHATBOTS

Discord Bot Web Fallback for Doc Gaps

When a member's question isn't covered by your docs, the bot runs a web search for an authoritative answer, replies with caveats, and logs the gap as a doc-to-write task.

  • OutputPost caveated answer in DiscordDiscordDiscord

What it does

This workflow handles questions your documentation doesn't cover yet. When the docs retrieval comes back empty or weak, the concierge searches the web for a credible answer, replies in Discord clearly marked as 'not yet in our docs,' and records the missing topic so your team can close the gap.

When to use it

Use it when your docs are still maturing and you want members to get helpful answers immediately while you build a backlog of pages that genuinely need writing.

How it works

  1. 1A new question arrives in the Discord support channel and triggers the flow.
  2. 2The agent searches Notion docs and scores retrieval confidence.
  3. 3A branch routes low-confidence questions to a web search via Brave Search.
  4. 4The agent drafts a caveated answer citing the external source, not internal docs.
  5. 5It posts the reply in Discord and appends the uncovered topic to a 'Docs to write' Notion database for the content team.
