Can we request for AI chat Box

Hi, Assume we have long page of GURU card with very long steps and process flows..Can we have AI chat Box where by user can type in simply what they want to search & point to.So that AI will provide summary and point direction the information we looking for. Now Chat GPT works likes its search the information from varies search engine & provide us the summary or scrip or information we need. We need similar this feature to be in GURU.The reason why we asking this, we have too many cards almost 1000 within one collection. So, the bot might can help to provide summary or simply the steps for the users. ThanksRagunathan

Export collection of verified cards only

I would like to export a full collection but filter out all the unverified cards.  Following the docs, it seems as if I need to go over the downloaded collection and call GET card on each individual card to get that information Any other suggestions?

How can I make the JSON I get from the API include card titles?

I’m trying to download all of my cards in a given collection using the API. I’m using the following command:curl -u COLLECTION ID:COLLECTION TOKEN \    --request GET \    --url "https://api.getguru.com/api/v1/search/query" \    --header 'accept: application/json' This works, but the JSON I get back doesn’t include the titles. I get the id, content, and a ton of other information for each card, but no titles (one of the three properties I actually need here). 😔 Is this a bug in Guru’s API? Or does anybody know how to specifically request the inclusion of the title property?

Guru Integration - Linear

My organization uses Linear to streamline software projects, sprints, tasks, and bug tracking. It performs the same function as JIRA.Is there any way to connect Linear to Guru in order to autogenerate cards around bugs tracking?

Unique Permissions for individual cards from Confluence sync

We are currently syncing our department specific Confluence space into a Guru collection which we have set to specific permissions in Guru (Department Authors, Admin, Consumers). We would like to have the ability to open up permissions on specific cards within the collection so that the full company can view. Is there a way that can we can do this without copying the cards into a collection that is public facing? Essentially the functionality we are looking for is to control the permissions on a card specific level.

List collections endpoint returning all collections rather than 25 + next page of results

Hey all,I’m using this endpoint: https://api.getguru.com/api/v1/collectionsIn the documentation it says:Returns all undeleted collections accessible to the authenticated user. A maximum of 25 collections will be returned. If more than 25 collections exist, a link to the next page of results will be included in the Link header We need to retrieve all collections so the current functionality works in our favour, but if this gets corrected, it will cause a breaking change in our app.Does anyone know the current max results per page, or if there even is one? Many thanksJosh

Curious if anyone else is thinking about an integration with ChatGPT?

Hey Guru Wizards!You cannot go anywhere without hearing about OpenAI and ChatGPT. I’ve seen some really cool applications for the tool and even cooler integrations with tools.I started to think about how an integration between ChatGPT and Guru could be helpful. I think of it working like the ChatGPT chatbot, but being able to pull knowledge from your Guru knowledge base to inform its response when you ask it a question and give you the links to the cards it synthesized its answer from. Anyone else thinking about this? Anyone  at Guru testing out potential use cases? Would love to start a discussion if there hasn’t been one started already!

How do you manage groups and permissions without an identity provider (IDP)?

Managing users is tough. Between the constant influx of new hires, provisioning groups in bulk, and offboarding, it's no mystery why teams eventually turn to an identity provider (IDP). But what about the Guru teams who have hundreds of users but aren't ready to commit to an IDP?  If you're struggling with this, the Services Studio Team here at Guru has an elegant and simple solution for you! Allow me to introduce our User Management Spreadsheet (sorry, we aren't copywriters).Using your admin API token, this sheet will allow you to bulk manage your users and groups, as well as bulk add and remove users from your Guru account. For more information, please take a look at this public Card with usage instructions and check out the quick walkthrough video below. Happy user managing! (still not copywriters).

Microsoft Sway Integration?

We use Microsoft Sway for our newsletters, which look great. Is there a way to embed something like that into a card? We’d like to use Guru to distribute and archive our monthly internal newsletters, but I’d like a little more integration than just pasting a series of links onto a card. Any suggestions?

Why does the API only show the last reply for each comment thread?

I made a GET call to https://api.getguru.com/api/v1/cards/{cardId}/comments, but when I look through the returned data, it only goes one reply deep AND it only shows the most recent reply in a comment thread, even though there might be 3 replies total.Am I doing something wrong? Is there a different API call I need to make to get all replies?

Make.com/Guru Integration

Hi everyone: I’ve recently started experimenting with Guru for knowledge base for some of our company’s functions and seems like a great tool - still learning it but like it a lot.We use make.com for quite a few integrations in lieu of directly programming API calls and I wondered iff anyone had explored this as I didn’t see GetGuru as an option within the Make.com/Integromat integrations.  I noticed some stuff about Zapier, which we have also used but are most comfortable with the Make/Integromat system

Team Dynamix Integration

Hello fellow knowledge k-nerds! We are in the process of implementing both Guru and Team Dynamix, a ticketing and case management system similar to Zendesk or Service Now. Out of curiosity (and mild desperation) does anyone currently integrate Guru with Team Dynamix at their place of work? As an ITSM needs knowledge within the system to facilitate self-service and response, we are trying to avoid duplication of information. Even Workato recipe would be super helpful 😀Thanks!

SQL Tools using Guru API

Hey all! Wondering if anyone is using a Query tool (like Google’s BigQuery or MySQL) to be able to conduct card audits?I’ve been using Guru’s Google Sheet for Find and Replace to do many of my card audits (not necessarily replacing, just surfacing potential documentation impacts) and with our volume of cards, we’ve outgrown it (it tends to be a tedious, buggy process).As I have a chance to advocate for some additional tools, wanted to see what others were using to know if my ask is out of scope.

SSO with Outlook add-in

Hi,Is it possible to sign in to the Guru Outlook add-in with SSO? In my case, my organization uses SAML SSO with Azure Active Directory. When I install the add-in, I’m presented with the sign in options from the website. However, I am unable to log in with a username and password; Usually I sign in by using a saved link to one of our collections, which automatically redirects me to the SSO if I’m not signed in.Help on this would be appreciated, since we’re hoping to roll out the Outlook add-in to our users at some point, but this is a bit of a blocker.Thanks,David

Automating Cards in Slack

In slack, we have a channel that has been automated to create and send specific error messages if something goes down in our company. This is helpful in alerting us of any critical failure in our system so that we can deal with it in a timely manner. I wanted to know if it would be possible to have Guru cards do the same thing.Example: A Slack critical error pops up stating that one of our vendors has been brought offline which will deny access to our mobile app for our members, Right after this error is seen, a Guru card pops up in the same channel which states the vendors number, hours of operation, and specific dialogue to fix the issue.I hope this is a feature that can be added soon because I’m sure we would not be the only business who could use it. Thank you for your time.

No Mac Keyboard Shortcuts in Guru Cards

Does anyone else have this problem? I’m unable to use any keyboard shortcuts on my Mac when creating a card through the chrome extension. Command+V won’t paste, Command+U won’t undo text. Makes me want to write my content elsewhere then have to import it to Guru.

How do you guys handle data security/backup?

My team recently moved to Guru and is already starting to build quite a valuable store of knowledge in there. It got me thinking about what a major issue it would be if one day we were to suddenly lose access to all our content in Guru. To be fair, I think it’s highly unlikely that Guru would decide to close up shop without any warning or giving us a chance to export our content, but it’s still nice to know that there are regular backups in there. Currently, the only way I can think of is to regularly backup the data via the Content Export feature, probably something that we’ll do every 3 months or so. However, I’m wondering if anyone’s figured out a way to automate this so that a), we don’t have to manually do it, and b) not risk the person responsible forgetting to do it. I’ve checked the API, and the closest I can find is to use the search API without any query. This is decent I suppose, in that it’s give the text which is the most important part (for us at least), but it’ll be nice
