# Sources Quickstart

> This guide explains how to create and manage information Sources for your ResponseCX Agents.

## What are Sources?

In ResponseCX, a Source is a location where your Agents can retrieve information to answer user questions. A source can be a website, a document, or a knowledge base. By providing sources, you can equip your agents with the specific knowledge they need to be effective.

## Creating a Source

You can create a source through the Response\_CX dashboard or using the SDK.

### Using the Dashboard

1. Navigate to the **Sources** section of the ResponseCX dashboard.
2. Click the **Add New Source** button.
3. Fill in the source's details. For example:
   * **Name:** A descriptive name for your source (e.g., "Public Website").
   * **Description:** A brief summary of what the source contains.
   * **Type:** The type of source, such as `Website`, `Document`, or `Knowledge Base`.
   * **URI:** The location of the source, like a URL for a website or a path to a document.
4. Click **Add Source** to create the source.

### Using the SDK

Here's how to create a source using the Node.js SDK.

```javascript theme={null}
// The 'StateSet' object should be initialized with your API key.
// Please refer to the official StateSet SDK documentation for initialization details.
// For example:
// const StateSet = new StateSet({ apiKey: process.env.STATESET_API_KEY });

const source = await StateSet.sources.create({
  name: "My API-created Source",
  description: "Documentation website.",
  type: "Website",
  uri: "https://docs.example.com",
});

logger.info("Source created:", source);
```

## Managing Sources

You can list, update, and delete your sources.

### Listing Sources

Retrieve a list of all your sources via the SDK.

```javascript theme={null}
const sources = await StateSet.sources.list();
logger.info(sources);
```

## Updating a Source

You can update a source's properties from the dashboard or through the SDK.

### Using the Dashboard

1. In the **Sources** list, click the **Update** button for the source you want to modify.
2. Change the desired fields.
3. Click **Save**.

### Using the SDK

```javascript theme={null}
const updatedSource = await StateSet.sources.update({
  id: source.id,
  name: "Updated Source Name",
});

logger.info("Source updated:", updatedSource);
```

## Deleting a Source

You can delete a source from the dashboard or via the SDK.

```javascript theme={null}
await StateSet.sources.delete({ id: source.id });
logger.info("Source deleted.");
```

## Next Steps

After creating a source, you can associate it with an Agent to give that agent access to the information within the source.

* **Connect to an Agent:** Learn how to link this source to one of your agents.
* **Explore different source types:** Investigate how to use other source types, like documents or knowledge bases.
