Can i use a discussion page for suggested topics.

Hi ,

I just want to find out if I can use a discussion page to get suggested topic for a bot?

Thank you in advance

Hi @CariRodz,

Does your discussion page require logging in? If so, I would say you can't use it.

These are the pre-requisites for using content in the suggested topics:

• The URLs must be secure (they must start with https://).
• The URLs must be publicly available, that is, they can't need a user to log in.
• For online files, we do not support file upload. You must provide the full URL to the location of the file, including the file extension, as in the example https://www.microsoft.com/thisisafile.pdf.
• For online files, we currently support PDF, DOCX, PPTX, TXT files and 2-column formats in TSV, XLSX (first sheet only), and CSV. The file extension must be included in the URL.

Hi 

No the page does not require logging. 

It keeps saying that no suggestions are found, but all our FAQ are there.

Hi @CariRodz,

If it still doesn't work even though the site is with https and you can access the discussion pages without a username and password (anonymously) I would suggest to contact Microsoft Support Team to investigate the issue, https://powervirtualagents.microsoft.com/en-us/support

Btw, you have tried other anonymous https online sources, do those work?
