You can now use prompts with the integration to access product information.Some examples:
  • Look up product details by UPC using /UPCDatabase
  • Create an inventory management system with /UPCDatabase
  • Build a product scanner app using /UPCDatabase
The API limits how often your app can fetch data. If your app loads the same data often, ask the agent to save it locally so it doesn’t re-fetch every time.
Example prompt for optimization:
When using /UPCDatabase, save the product data so my app doesn't have to fetch it again
Your UPC Database integration is now ready! Use the /UPCDatabase command in chat to access product information.
