Chat With a Site

Website chat lets you work with one connected site at a time. It can only use Connected Data approved for that site connection.

Start with read-only prompts

Use read-only prompts first:

  • “What resources can I manage here?”
  • “List the latest five posts.”
  • “Show me the fields on products.”
  • “Find pages that mention refunds.”
  • “Summarize draft posts from this week.”

If these work, the site connection and Connected Data list are healthy.

Draft and update content

For write or publish work, be precise:

GoalPrompt
Create a draft”Create a draft post titled ‘Spring menu’ with this outline…”
Update a field”Update the meta description for the pricing page to…”
Publish reviewed content”Show me the draft titled ‘April events’ before publishing it.”
Clean up”Find old draft posts first. Do not delete anything until I confirm.”

The site connection decides which actions are allowed. If an action is denied, validate and sync the website, then contact Tropikal support if the needed access is still missing.

Understand live states

While the workflow runs, chat can show live Function states:

StateMeaning
RunningThe workflow is using approved Connected Data.
DoneThe site connection returned successfully.
ErrorThe site connection rejected the request or returned a validation error.

Errors should be shown in plain language. Ask what resource and action the workflow attempted if the next step is unclear.

Manage multiple sites

Each site has its own connection, Connected Data, and chat history. Switching sites changes what is available. Ask “What resources can I manage here?” after switching to avoid assuming two sites expose the same actions.

Safety expectations

  • Use review before publishing or making broad changes.
  • The site connection enforces Connected Data permissions even if the workflow asks for more.
  • Site credentials should not be pasted into chat.
  • Start a new chat when changing topics or testing a fresh workflow.
