Knowledge Base as a Google Folder

Can Pickaxe scan a Google Drive folder URL and it’s contents as a knowledge base.

Hi. I’m adding Google Doc link, it’s available for view from web, but I still get: “Google Docs links are not supported. Please download and upload as a file instead.”

Google Docs are not web-pages. They are cloud-hosted documents. I know from your POV the two are the same thing, but web-scrapers cannot scrape google docs. I would suggest just downloading the Google Doc as a file and then uploading that into the KB.

In the future, we will build a dedicated Google Drive integration within the Knowledge Base. But that day is not yet upon us.

Go it. Thanks @admin_mike . I mean I need to automate the process as my Knowledge base needs to be auto updated. So files aren’t a solution in this case…

@metamediary you can build an automation with Make where every time a file if added in one of the Google drive folders, it gets copied into a url/webpage that can be scraped by Pickaxe.

Сan I embed published Google Doc into a web page then?

I’m no expert but I suspect it will be the same problem - scraper won’t be able to detect your Google Doc’s content. May I ask did you find a good solution that works for you? I’m having a similar challenge.

@uldisbiz where are your source documents? Google Drive?
