Article summary

Whatfix enables you to instantly check the feasibility of a Custom Repository integration before integrating the repository for the first time. The feasibility check is done to ensure the content from the custom repository can be crawled without any issue. This reduces the time spent on the integration process, thereby increasing productivity.

Check the feasibility of integrating specific sections within the repository.

In case your repository cannot be integrated with Whatfix, you get an error message in the Feasibility Report along with the reason why the integration is not feasible.

A feasibility check fails due to multiple reasons such as change in URL or authentication requirement. Contact the Custom Repository POC to resolve the issue. If the issue still persists, contact support@whatfix.com.
