I’m interested in creating a chatbot that can tell you the latest news. How do I incorporate real-time data with the existing Zapier chatbot support? Currently, it’s just a file upload. Thank you!
Question
Is it possible to incorporate real-time news data into a Chatbot?

Hi
That’s such a great idea! You’re right, the data source feature for the Chatbot component currently only allows for a file to be added as the data source. I couldn’t see any existing feature requests for this. So I’d recommend reaching out to the Interfaces team to put in a request for the ability to allow a website to be selected as the data source.
You can do that here: https://eap.zapier.app/interfaces
Hope that helps! 🙂
