Integration Methods

All platforms support these SnackPrompt API endpoints:

Search Endpoint (/v1/kb/search)

Returns relevant documents from your knowledge base.

Use when:
├── You want to build custom RAG pipelines
├── You need the raw documents for processing
└── You want to combine with other data sources

Chat Endpoint (/v1/kb/chat)

Returns a ready-to-use AI-generated response.

Use when:
├── You want quick integration without RAG complexity
├── You need a complete answer, not just documents
└── You're building simple Q&A flows

---

Quick Start by Platform

Zapier (Fastest)

1. Create a Zap with your trigger

2. Add API Request action

3. Configure POST to /v1/kb/chat

4. Use the response in your action

N8N (Most Flexible)

1. Add HTTP Request Tool to an AI Agent

2. Configure the search endpoint

3. Let the agent decide when to search

Dify (Best for AI Apps)

1. Go to External Knowledge API

2. Add SnackPrompt as a knowledge source

3. Use in your chatbot or agent

Common Integration Patterns

Pattern 1: Simple Chatbot

[User Input] → [API: /chat] → [Display Answer]

Platforms: All

Pattern 2: RAG Pipeline

[User Input] → [API: /search] → [Format Context] → [LLM] → [Answer]

Platforms: N8N, Flowise, Pipedream, Make

Pattern 3: Agent with Tools

[User Input] → [AI Agent] → [Tool: Search KB] → [Agent Decision] → [Answer]
                    ↓
              [Other Tools]

Platforms: N8N, Flowise, Dify

Pattern 4: Conditional Routing

[Input] → [API: /search] → [Has Results?]
                               │
                    ┌──────────┴──────────┐
                    ▼                      ▼
              [Auto-Reply]          [Create Ticket]

Platforms: All

Pattern 5: Multi-Source RAG

[Input] → [Parallel Search]
               │
        ┌──────┼──────┐
        ▼      ▼      ▼
    [tag=A] [tag=B] [tag=C]
        │      │      │
        └──────┼──────┘
               ▼
          [Merge & LLM]

Platforms: Make, N8N, Pipedream

Security Considerations

API Key Management

Platform	Recommended Method
Zapier	Secret Manager
Make	Connections
N8N	Credentials
Power Automate	Azure Key Vault
Pipedream	Environment Variables
Flowise	Environment Variables
Dify	API Key auth

Best Practices

1. Never hardcode API keys - Use platform's secret management

2. Use HTTPS only - All SnackPrompt endpoints use HTTPS

3. Limit permissions - Create separate API keys per integration

4. Monitor usage - Track API calls for anomalies

5. Handle errors gracefully - Don't expose error details to users
