Hello,

I'm building a ChatBot and I am going to publish it internally on an Intranet for my organisation. The bot will not ever be publicly available. Why cant I take FAQ's as a Topic Suggestion from my own resources within my organisation? I get error messages stating it cannot extract data from the specified https link - this makes no sense? I own and manage the Sharepoint page, why cant I extract data from my own Sharepoint page if I'm already building the ChatBot in Teams. I cannot publish internal data on a publicly accessible web page, obviously.

For example, you might be unable to extract content because the site you're referencing is down or it may be gated behind a user login, such as a SharePoint page.

Hi @CJCappa ,

The problem is that the SharePoint page/document is not a public link, you need to have a user/password/MFA to access this information. In that case, the PVA bot is not capable to do it.

Please find below the requirements to import suggested topics:

The URLs must be secure (they must start with https://).
The URLs must be publicly available, that is, they can't need a user to log in.
For online files, we do not support file upload. You must provide the full URL to the location of the file, including the file extension, as in the example https://www.microsoft.com/thisisafile.pdf.
For online files, we currently support PDF, DOCX, PPTX, TXT files and 2-column formats in TSV, XLSX (first sheet only), and CSV. The file extension must be included in the URL.

May you need to upload this file temporarily to a public site, import it, then remove that document there. (~5 mins to import items)
