Research information on websites
Lets the AI read web page content during support and use the text (as markdown) to answer with up-to-date information — limited to the sites you allow.
When to use:
- Look up catalog, inventory, pricing, or policies on the company site
- Follow docs, changelogs, or product pages without pasting text into the prompt
- JavaScript sites (Firecrawl engine) or static HTML (Plain HTML engine)
Configuration:
- Add the Research information about… action
- Choose the engine:
- Firecrawl — requires the integration (organization API key); renders JS and allows optional free search
- Plain HTML — static fetch, no key; best for non-SPA pages
- Register the sites (URL + description of what is on each)
- With Firecrawl: optionally enable free web search
- Save the prompt
Behavior:
- The AI can change query params (e.g.
?search=Civic→?search=Corolla) - It can open subpages under the same path as the configured site
- If the page is only an index, the result may include
followUpLinksfor a second call
⚠️ HTML engine
Sites built only with React/Next may return empty or incomplete results with Plain HTML. Prefer Firecrawl.
💡 Security
With free search off, the server only accepts URLs from configured sites (and subpages under the same path).
Example:
