Sources

Sources are the feeds and sites Lumina monitors for material. Every pipeline run reads your active sources, scores each item against your Brand DNA, and surfaces the best-aligned material in Intelligence, ready to become drafts.

Types of source

  • RSS feeds: the most reliable kind. Paste a feed URL, or paste a site URL and Lumina will try to discover its feed for you.
  • Scraped sites: for sites without a usable feed, Lumina reads the page directly using a set of selectors that tell it where the articles, titles, and links are.

Adding a source

  1. Go to Sources and add a source by URL.
  2. Use Preview to check what Lumina sees before committing, you'll get a look at the items it would pull in.
  3. Lumina also checks whether the domain is already in your sources, so you don't add duplicates.

The number of sources you can add depends on your plan, see Credits & Billing.

Source health

The Health view shows whether each source is working. For scraped sites Lumina tracks a status:

  • OK: the source is being read correctly.
  • Broken: the selectors no longer match the page (the site likely changed its layout).
  • Unreachable: Lumina couldn't reach the site at all.

If a source is broken or unreachable, fix or update it so it keeps contributing material. You can also validate a source on demand to re-check it.

Keeping sources fresh

Sources are read automatically on every pipeline run, but you can Sync a source manually to pull its latest items right away.

Scrape configuration proposals

On higher plans, when a scraped site breaks or needs setup, Lumina can propose a new scrape configuration, the selectors that tell it where the content lives. You can review a proposal and confirm it (to apply it) or reject it. This keeps scraped sources working as sites change, without hand-editing selectors yourself.

Scrape-config proposals are a plan-gated feature. If you don't see them, check your plan in Credits & Billing.

Removing a source

Remove a source from the Sources list at any time. It will no longer be read on future pipeline runs.

What happens next

Material from your sources flows into Intelligence, where Lumina scores it for brand alignment, and the strongest matches become drafts. See Drafts & Publishing.
