Keeping your bot up to date

Your bot is only as good as the data it has. When your content changes, your bot needs to know about it.

Manual re-syncing

When you sync a data source, it takes a snapshot at that point in time. If your content changes, you'll need to re-sync:

1. Go to your bot's Data Sources tab
2. Click the three dots on the data source
3. Click Sync

Automatic syncing

Instead of manually re-syncing, you can set your data sources to sync automatically on a schedule.

Why use auto-sync:

• Your bot always has the latest content
• No more forgetting to re-sync after updates
• Only new or changed content is synced (saves storage tokens)

Works great for:

• Documentation that updates frequently
• Notion workspaces your team edits daily
• RSS feeds and blog content
• Any content that changes often

How to enable:

1. Go to your bot's Data Sources tab
2. Click the three dots on any data source
3. Choose Settings
4. Go to the Sync tab
5. Turn on Auto-sync
6. Set your preferred schedule
7. Done

Sync diffs: Only sync what's changed

When Chat Thing syncs, it doesn't re-process everything from scratch. It checks what's actually changed and only syncs new or updated content.

This means:

• Faster syncs
• Fewer storage tokens used
• You can sync more frequently without burning through your allowance

If you update one page on a 500-page website, Chat Thing syncs that one page - not all 500.
