Use cases

What teams actually do with the Commercetools integration

Public-facing Q&A widget

The BeforeQuery widget on your site answers visitor questions grounded in your published Commercetools content. Cited sources are one click away. Reduces contact-us volume 30-60% for the top-asked questions.

Content freshness monitoring

BeforeQuery flags Commercetools pages that answer FAQs but haven't been updated in > 6 months, that contradict other pages, or that get high traffic + low conversion. Content team gets a prioritized freshness backlog.

Draft new pages from prior top-performers

Content marketer asks for a new landing-page draft on a topic; BeforeQuery pulls patterns from your top-performing Commercetools pages, drafts the new one in your brand voice. Human edits, publishes.

Employees and customers ask Commercetools-related questions in Slack, Teams, or the widget — BeforeQuery answers with the exact Commercetools record shown alongside the response. No context switching, no "log into CMS / Web to check" round-trips.

Commercetools — Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about connecting BeforeQuery to Commercetools.

Only if explicitly configured to. Default is published content only. Draft indexing is available on Enterprise, useful for reviewer-facing internal AI answers about work-in-progress content.
Standard OAuth 2.0 where Commercetools supports it, otherwise API-key or bearer-token auth. Credentials are stored encrypted at rest (AES-256-GCM) per workspace, never shared across customers, and rotated on request. The connection is scoped to the least-privilege set of scopes each playbook needs — you approve the scope list on install.
No. Your Commercetools data feeds only your workspace's own agents and answers. Nothing is used to train a shared model, and nothing crosses workspace boundaries. Bring-your-own-model is available on Enterprise if you want to pin inference to your own OpenAI / Anthropic / self-hosted deployment.
Yes. Every Commercetools integration is scoped at install time — you pick which resources, users, or record types are visible. You can further restrict per-playbook: a single playbook only touches the specific Commercetools objects it needs. Scope changes take effect on the next sync.
Every write is logged with the acting user, the playbook that fired it, the exact operation, the target entity IDs, and the timestamp — all in the immutable audit log. Writes are rehearsable in simulation mode against a copy of live data before they touch Commercetools for real.
