# Human-Initiated Requests (via Snippet)

Here’s how to set it up in just a few clicks:

### 1 – Create a Snippet in Plain

Go to your Plain Settings > Snippets and add a new Snippet.

### 2 – Add the Message

Here’s a message that works really well (feel free to tweak the tone to fit your brand):

> *We recommend taking a screen recording to help us see the issue from your perspective, enabling a quicker and more accurate answer:*
>
> <mark style="color:purple;">**CLICK HERE TO RECORD**</mark>
>
> *Pro tip: For best results, enable audio and talk us through the steps leading to your issue while recording*

### 3 – Insert the Birdie Request Link

[Go to your Birdie settings](https://app.birdie.so/settings) and copy your **Birdie Request Link.**

\
Then, in your Plain Snippet, select the text you want to make clickable (for example: `CLICK HERE TO RECORD`) and add the Birdie Request Link as a hyperlink:&#x20;

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.birdie.so/birdie-docs/helpdesk/plain/flows/human-initiated-requests-via-snippet.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
