Knowledge and Integrations
Codeer connects to your business in two ways:
- knowledge the agent uses to answer well
- integrations your team or product uses to run the workflow
Connected data is what turns an agent from a polite generalist into something grounded in your actual business rules.
For Consultation Desk, connected data usually holds things like:
- consultation types and service definitions
- routing rules and escalation boundaries
- intake expectations
- policy or handoff details that must stay consistent

What this section helps you decide
There are really two decisions here:
- where to store the source material
- when you need an integration instead of just a hosted channel
The first decision happens in Knowledge Base. The second happens when you wire that material into Instructions, Attachments, the Knowledge Base tool, or an API-driven workflow.
Knowledge first, integrations second
The Knowledge Base area has two jobs:
Folders: where you organize the files the agent may useConnections: where you review external accounts and connected sources
In practice, most operators spend most of their time in Folders.
For product or backend integrations, the split is:
- API Access: issue keys and decide which workspace the integration should use
- API Reference: implement the technical request flow
A practical rule for operators
Before you connect anything, ask:
- Does this need to be followed on every turn?
- Does this only matter in some conversations?
- Is this source clean enough for an agent to read?
That usually points to the right home:
| If the information is... | Best home |
|---|---|
| Mandatory every turn | Instructions or Attachments |
| Large reference material used only when relevant | Knowledge Base tool |
| Still messy, duplicated, or full of noise | Clean it first before connecting it |
| Something your own product or backend should execute | API Access plus API Reference |
Data is a managed snapshot
Connected files should be treated as managed copies, not magical live sync.
When a source document changes, review whether the connected version should also be refreshed.
