Connect your private Stack Overflow for Teams instance and BeforeQuery indexes its questions and answers. Internal Q&A your engineers already wrote becomes retrievable through chat, search, and every deployed surface — with citations back to the original thread.

​
Prerequisites

  • A Stack Overflow for Teams instance and its team slug (the identifier in your team URL).
  • A Stack Overflow for Teams API access token with read access (create one from your Teams account settings).
  • A BeforeQuery workspace owner role.

​
Set up the connector

1

Create an API token

In Stack Overflow for Teams, generate a personal access token that can read your team’s questions and answers.
2

Add the source

In the dashboard, open Project → Sources → Add source and choose Stack Overflow. Enter your team slug and paste the API token, then click Add.
3

Verify in the Playground

After the first sync completes, ask a question you know is answered in your Teams instance and confirm the citation links back to the Q&A thread.

​
Keeping content in sync

Set a daily or weekly schedule so new accepted answers keep flowing in, or click Sync manually after a burst of Q&A activity.

​
Troubleshooting

  • Sync fails with an auth error? The token was revoked or lacks read scope — issue a new one and update the source.
  • Internal Q&A leaking into public surfaces? Mark the resulting documents restricted, or isolate the source in an internal-only source group that public client keys can’t access.
