Setting Up Your Velaro Knowledge Base
What Is the Velaro Knowledge Base?
The Velaro Knowledge Base (KB) is a fully hosted, public-facing help site that your customers can browse at a custom domain (e.g. help.yourcompany.com). It integrates directly with your AI bot — articles are automatically indexed for bot responses.
Initial Setup
- Go to Knowledge Base → Settings in the admin panel.
- Enter your company name, upload a logo, and choose a theme color.
- Set your custom domain in the Domain field (e.g.
help.yourcompany.com). - Add a CNAME DNS record at your registrar pointing to
velaro-admin-prod.azurewebsites.net. - Click Save — your KB is live at your custom domain within minutes.
Organizing Content
Content is organized in a three-level hierarchy:
- Categories — top-level groupings (e.g. Getting Started, Billing, Technical)
- Topics — sections within a category (e.g. Account Setup, Payment Methods)
- Articles — individual help pages within a topic
Writing Articles
Click New Article within any topic. The editor supports:
- Rich text formatting (headings, bold, lists, tables)
- Image uploads (drag and drop)
- Code blocks and callout boxes
- Embedded videos (YouTube/Vimeo URLs)
Articles are auto-saved as drafts. Click Publish to make them public.
Bot Integration
Once published, articles are automatically indexed for your AI bot. When a customer asks a question, the bot searches the KB and cites the relevant article in its response. Enable Bot Response on individual articles to fine-tune which content the bot uses.
Analytics
View per-article hit counts, helpful/not helpful votes, and search queries under Knowledge Base → Analytics. Use this data to identify gaps and improve coverage.
