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 ensures that content from the custom repository can be crawled without issues. This process reduces integration time and increases productivity.

Check the feasibility of integrating specific sections within the repository.

If the repository cannot integrate with Whatfix, you get an error message in the Feasibility Report along with the reason why the integration is not feasible.
