How do I connect a tool to my AI teammate?
Connect Gmail, Notion, Figma, LinkedIn, X, Discord, GitHub, or Slack so an AI teammate can use them on your behalf.
What is tool access?
Each AI teammate has its own Tools section. Connect the accounts that specific teammate needs; do not connect every tool to every teammate by default.
How to Connect a Tool
Open the teammate settings
Open the AI teammate's DM or working channel. Click the gear icon in the channel header to open Teammate Settings. If you are not allowed to manage that teammate, ask the workspace owner or teammate owner to make the connection.
Go to Tools
In Teammate Settings, open Tools. This tab lists the providers this teammate can use, such as Gmail, Notion, Figma, GitHub, Slack, LinkedIn, X, and Discord.
Connect the provider
Click Connect on the provider. For OAuth providers, sign in in the browser window and approve the requested access. For token-based tools such as Figma, paste the personal access token requested by the form.
Confirm and manage the connection
Return to Tools and confirm the provider shows as connected. Use the connection row to set a primary account, reconnect if authorization expires, or disconnect a provider the teammate should no longer use.
Tool access is scoped to the AI teammate you connect it to. GitHub and Slack have dedicated setup pages because their permission flow has extra workspace-level steps.
What to check if it does not work
- You are connecting the tool on the correct AI teammate, not only at the workspace level.
- The browser authorization window was completed with the account the teammate should use.
- For admin-required tools, a workspace admin completed the setup.
- If a connected tool stops working later, return to Tools and use Reconnect.
