TL;DR / Quick Summary: Polling for document updates wastes network bandwidth and introduces delays. CustomerGPT uses event-driven webhook push triggers, enabling instant, automated document vector updates in the vector database as soon as page modifications occur in a CMS.

High-performance support systems require seamless synchronization. If your team updates user manuals or pricing structures, customer support chatbots must reflect these updates instantly to avoid giving visitors obsolete information.

Webhooks vs Polling

Polling is highly inefficient—regularly pinging your APIs for updates consumes massive bandwidth. Webhooks provide an elegant, event-driven solution: the instant an update occurs inside your CMS, your system pushes a webhook alert to CustomerGPT, triggering instant, automated document vector updates.

Setting Up CustomerGPT Webhook Listeners

Using our webhook triggers, developers on the Scale and Enterprise plans can integrate event push routes in seconds:

// Triggering automatic chatbot sync from external system
fetch('https://api.customergpt.ai/v1/webhooks/sync', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN',
    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    chatbotId: 'bot_xyz',
    event: 'document.updated',
    url: 'https://mysite.com/docs/api-guide'
  })
});

This automated flow ensures that chatbots remain perfectly grounded and continuously up-to-date with your latest product releases automatically.
