What connecting an app unlocks
Once an app is connected, you just ask in plain language:- “Any new HubSpot leads since Friday?”
- “Create a Linear issue for the login bug and assign it to Sam.”
- “Summarize what changed in the Notion project doc this week.”
- “Post the weekly numbers to the #metrics channel.”
The kinds of apps you’ll see
Every app card in the gallery is labeled with its type:- Third-party — the broad catalog of SaaS apps (CRM, project management, files, engineering tools, and more). You connect these yourself with a sign-in or an API key.
- Native — integrations built and operated by the platform, often tailored for a specific organization. These show a View button rather than Connect — they’re enabled as part of your deployment.
How integrations relate to everything else
The platform draws clear lines between three things that all involve “connecting accounts”:
One example that trips people up: Slack appears twice, wearing different
hats. Connecting Slack as a communication
channel lets your assistant chat in your workspace as
itself. Connecting Slack in the Integrations gallery lets your assistant act
in your Slack account — reading channels, posting as part of automations.
You can use either or both.
