Setting Up Context Connections

How to create and manage connections between related knowledge base items.

Viewing Connections

Go to Knowledge BaseConnections tab. You'll see a list of existing connections between your knowledge items.

Creating a Connection

  1. Click Add Connection
  2. Select the Source item (e.g., an intent, fact, or FAQ)
  3. Select the Target item (what the source is related to)
  4. Choose a Connection Type (e.g., related_knowledge)
  5. Set the Strength (0.0-1.0) — how strongly related the items are
  6. Click Save

When to Create Manual Connections

Automatic connections are generated when you set up your agent. Create manual connections when:

  • You add a new fact, FAQ, or policy that relates to an existing intent
  • Two knowledge items are conceptually related but don't share keywords (so automatic connection didn't catch them)
  • You want to boost the relevance of specific information for certain call types

Connection Strength

  • 1.0 — always relevant when the source is active (e.g., cancellation policy is always relevant during appointment calls)
  • 0.5-0.9 — usually relevant but not always
  • Below 0.5 — loosely related, only surfaced when other results are weak

Tips

  • Focus connections on your highest-volume intents first
  • Connect escalation-related knowledge to the intents most likely to need escalation
  • Review after adding new knowledge — does it connect to existing intents?
  • Don't over-connect — too many weak connections add noise
