How to create internal articles and enable them for Copilot.

Updated over 2 weeks ago

From Content menu, you can create and manage internal articles and enable them for use with Copilot.

Create internal articles

To create a new internal article, go to Train > Content , click on + New content and then select Internal article.

If you have existing internal support content which currently lives in Confluence, Guru, or Notion, you can simply sync or import these internal articles to Content section.

Add content

Start writing your article inside the text editor and use the rich formatting tools to structure and style the article.

You can close the Details panel using the close button in the top right corner to focus on writing the article content.

Save it

When you’ve finished writing the article, or you want to navigate away from the editor, you can click Save to save your changes.

There is no “Save as draft” option for internal articles. When internal articles are saved, this is the information that becomes available to teammates in Content section and Copilot (if enabled).

Share it with your teammates

Once you’ve saved an internal article, you can share a link to it with your teammates by copying the workspace URL at the top of the internal article.

New internal articles can also be made available to Copilot which teammates access from the inbox. Manage teammate access to Copilot from Settings > Workspace > Teammates.


Manage internal articles

Managing an article is all done from the articles editor. Go to Train > Content , select Internal articles folder and click on the internal article you want to manage.

Configure settings

When you create an internal article, there's a Details panel on the right which contains:

  • Data: View the content type, language, creation date, created by, last update, and the teammate who last updated it.

  • Fin settings: To enable/disable for Copilot. When enabled, the content becomes available to Copilot .

  • Tag: Add an existing tag or create a new one.

  • Internal articles from synced sources can’t be edited from Train > Content , any updates must be made to the source.

  • Content will automatically re-sync with Intercom every 24 hours, but you can also re-sync manually.

Make changes to the content

To edit an existing internal article, go to Train > Content and click on the article you want to make changes to. Then click on Edit.

When you’ve finished making changes, or you want to navigate away from the editor, click Save.

Your article will also be auto-saved every few seconds while you're working in the editor. If your changes have been autosaved, the Save button will be grayed out and you can simply click on Cancel to exit the editor.

Make it available to Copilot

To make an internal article available to Copilot, go to Train > Content and open the internal article.

From the Details panel, scroll down to “Fin” and choose whether to enable Copilot. This setting will make the internal article available for Copilot to use when answering teammates questions in the workspace via the Copilot panel.

  • Internal articles can't be made available to Fin AI Agent. If you want to make content available to Fin, you'll need to use public articles, public URLs, snippets, or PDFs. Learn more.

Internal articles API

It's also possible to Create, Update, Read/List and Delete (aka CRUD) internal articles using Intercom's API (unstable version).
