CHATBOTS

Web-Search Fallback for Out-of-Docs Discord Questions

When a Discord setup question isn't covered by internal Notion docs, the bot runs a Brave web search, synthesizes an answer from trusted external sources.

What it does

Extends your concierge beyond your own docs. If a member's setup question falls outside your Notion knowledge base, the bot performs a Brave web search, synthesizes a careful answer from the top results, and posts it to Discord clearly labeled as community-sourced rather than official guidance.

When to use it

Use this for communities where members ask about adjacent tools, dependencies, or environment issues your own docs intentionally don't cover. It keeps people unblocked without putting words in your product's mouth.

How it works

  1. 1A new Discord message triggers the flow.
  2. 2The agent first checks Notion docs for an internal answer.
  3. 3A logic branch routes only the questions with no internal match to the web path.
  4. 4The agent runs a Brave web search and reads the top trusted results.
  5. 5It synthesizes a concise answer with source links.
  6. 6The reply posts to Discord with an explicit "unofficial, from the web" disclaimer.
