  • For adding the wiki ID, please navigate to the automation page, and click on Zapier and +Get wiki ID.
  • Paste the copied Wiki ID and click on continue.
  • Wiki ID determines the destination of your trained files. When you create an automation for your Chat Aid to train on a source, you need to specify where he adds the source. This can be done using Wiki ID.

4. Test​

  • When you click on "Test Step", the file which was selected previously will get added as a source. If you would like to NOT add that file as a source, please do not test the file and skip the test. The Zap will run nonetheless once you publish it.
  • Finally, click on "Publish" and the Zap will be live.
  • Anytime a new file is added to your Google Drive, Chat Aid will automatically train on it based on the Zap you create.
