Setting Up Context Connections
How to create and manage connections between related knowledge base items.
Viewing Connections
Go to Knowledge Base → Connections tab. You'll see a list of existing connections between your knowledge items.
Creating a Connection
- Click Add Connection
- Select the Source item (e.g., an intent, fact, or FAQ)
- Select the Target item (what the source is related to)
- Choose a Connection Type (e.g., related_knowledge)
- Set the Strength (0.0-1.0) — how strongly related the items are
- 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
