Start at the **Front** source row in [**Data Sources**](https://platform.open.cx/data-sources). If you changed your Help Center selection recently, remember the new selection only applies to future syncs — existing indexed content from deselected Help Centers needs to be removed manually.

## Common scenarios

| Symptom                                                               | Likely cause                                                                                                                                                                   | Fix                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       |
| --------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Help Center picker shows "Failed to load Help Centers"**            | The API key doesn't have **Knowledge Base: Read** scope, or is invalid                                                                                                         | Re-generate the token in the [Front Developer Portal](https://dev.frontapp.com/docs/create-and-revoke-api-tokens) with the right scope. Paste it — the picker auto-retries.                                                                                                               |
| **An internal Front article is showing in customer-facing replies**   | Either the Help Center's type in Front isn't set to `internal`, or the article was once in a public HC and got moved                                                           | Confirm the Help Center `type` in Front. If it's `internal`, trigger a re-sync — OpenCX will flip the visibility. If it's public but this specific article shouldn't be, override visibility per-article in [AI Instructions](https://platform.open.cx/ai-instructions) via the eye icon. |
| **I deselected a Help Center but its articles still appear**          | Deselection filters future syncs; existing items stay indexed until removed                                                                                                    | Open AI Instructions, filter by **Front** source and the Help Center name, bulk-delete. Future syncs won't re-fetch those articles.                                                                                                                                                       |
| **The picker's checkboxes resolve to a different count than I saved** | The connection picks up any new Help Centers you've added in Front since the last save, and applies the previously saved `allowed_knowledge_base_ids` filter to unchanged ones | Open the source, review the list, update selections, save. The picker shows all currently-accessible Help Centers from the token.                                                                                                                                                         |
| **Drafts from Front appear in the AI's answers**                      | Draft articles sync as `internal` but can still surface in agent-facing tools                                                                                                  | If that's unwanted, publish the article in Front (moves it to `public`) or override visibility in AI Instructions.                                                                                                                                                                        |
| **None of the above**                                                 | —                                                                                                                                                                              | Contact support with the connection ID and the HC names you expected vs. see.                                                                                                                                                                                                             |

## Limits

|                          | Value                                                              |
| ------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Selective scoping**    | Per-Help-Center checkboxes; no sub-category scoping                |
| **Multi-account**        | Not supported today                                                |
| **Sync cadence**         | Airbyte polling — typically every few hours                        |
| **Deselection behavior** | Filters future syncs only; existing items must be manually deleted |
