Agency & Reseller
Firecrawl: Search Action
The Firecrawl: Search action enables your AI support agent to search the web using Firecrawl and optionally scrape full page content from search results. This allows your chatbot to look up the latest and most relevant information for visitor queries.

In your chatbot dashboard, click Configuration in the sidebar, then select Tools & Actions.

Click the + Add Action button.

Click Add next to Firecrawl: Search.
Configure the Action
1
- Name: Give your action a descriptive name (e.g., firecrawl_search)
- Description: DDescribe when the AI should use this action. The default is: “Use this action when the user asks about a topic or question that you do not know the answer to. Use the search query supplied by the user to search the web for information and use the results to answer the question.”

Enter your Firecrawl API key. Get one from https://firecrawl.dev.
