The unique identifier for the source of the external page which was given by Intercom. Every external page must be associated with a Content Import Source which represents the place it comes from and from which it inherits a default audience (configured in the UI). For a new source, make a POST request to the Content Import Source endpoint and an ID for the source will be returned in the response.

Example:1234

The identifier for the external page which was given by the source. Must be unique for the source.

Example:"5678"
audience_idsArray of integers or null

The list of audience IDs to target this external page to for Fin AI Agent. Omitting the field preserves any default audience segments inherited from the parent content import source. Pass an explicit array to override inherited defaults with the given set. Pass [] to clear all audience memberships (even if the source has defaults). Unknown audience IDs return a 404 error with no partial commit.

Example:
[ 1, 2 ]
curl -i -X POST \
  https://api.intercom.io/ai/external_pages \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_TOKEN_HERE>' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -H 'Intercom-Version: Preview' \
  -d '{
