Overview

Post Content Update adds new text onto post content that already exists — it does not replace or edit existing text, only appends to it. After the text is added, NeuronCx regenerates the content’s embedding so it stays accurate for AI retrieval.
This import only appends. If you need to correct or replace existing text, this isn’t the right import type for that.

​
Prerequisites

  • Your Google Sheet must be shared with edit access so NeuronCx can read from it.
  • The sheet must contain the two required columns — PCID and ToBeAppendedText.
  • Each PCID in your sheet must match an existing piece of post content in NeuronCx. Rows where the PCID doesn’t match anything are skipped.

​
Preparing Your Sheet

Your sheet must include the following two columns. NeuronCx reads one row at a time and uses these values to find the right content and append to it.
Sheet 1
Make sure the column headers in your sheet match exactly — PCID and ToBeAppendedText. Header names are case-sensitive.

​
Running the Import

​
Setting up a new import

1

Open Imports

Navigate to Home > Ontology > Attribute Settings & Bulk Edit, then click the Imports tab.
2

Click + Import

Click the + Import button in the top right to open the New Import modal.
3

Give it a label

Enter a name that describes this import — for example, “Doctor Bio Append.”Label 11
4

Add the Google Sheet ID

Paste the sheet ID or the full Google Sheets URL — NeuronCx will extract the ID automatically.
Sheet Id 5

Verify

Click Verify. NeuronCx confirms it can read the sheet and shows you the row and column count — use this to catch an empty or wrong sheet before continuing.Verify 13

Select the import type

In the Import type panel on the left, select Content & Knowledge. Then choose PostContentUpdate (#20) from the list on the right.

Create the import

Click Create import. The import now appears in your list under Content & Knowledge, ready to run.Create Import 3

​
Running the import

1

Find the import

From the Data Import list, locate the import you just created. You can filter by Content & Knowledge to narrow the list.
2

Open the import

Click the arrow icon on the import row to open it.
3

Click Import

Click Import to run it. NeuronCx reads each row, finds the matching post content by PCID, and appends the new text to it.

​
What Happens When the Import Runs

Rows are processed in batches rather than one at a time, so a large sheet doesn’t need to be imported in pieces. Each batch runs in parallel, and the next batch starts only once the current one finishes. If a row fails, it’s skipped and the rest of the import continues — a failed row does not stop the whole run. For each row, NeuronCx does the following:
  1. Looks up the existing content for that PCID.
  2. Adds the new text to the end of the existing content, separated by a blank line.
  3. Regenerates the embedding for the updated content, so it stays searchable and accurate.
If a row’s PCID can’t be matched to existing content, that row is skipped rather than creating something new.

​
Checking the Result

Once the run completes, the history table shows how many rows were read and how many pieces of content were updated. Click a run’s Status to open a detailed breakdown showing which rows succeeded and which were skipped.

If fewer rows were updated than expected, check that every PCID in your sheet matches an existing piece of post content in NeuronCx.

​
Limits to Keep in Mind

  • This import only appends text — it can’t be used to edit or replace existing content.
  • A row is skipped, not flagged as an error, when its PCID doesn’t match existing content.
  • Only one import runs at a time. If another import is already running, this one will queue and wait its turn.
