Connect a work app

Connect the accounts your Talent needs for real work. Each connection belongs to you and uses the access you already have in that app.

Apps available today

You can connect these work apps now:

Klaviyo, Fireflies, and X are coming soon. Their cards do not have a working Connect action and they are not connectable today.

Connect one account

1. Open Connections.
2. Search for the app or narrow the catalog by category.
3. Open the app card and choose Connect.
4. Sign in to the account you want your Talent to use and approve the requested access.
5. Return to Connections and wait for the card to show Connected.
6. Ask your Talent to do one small read, such as finding a document or listing today's events.

Your Talent sees only what that connected account can already reach. Connecting an app does not change the account's permissions.

Connect more than one account

On Free, each person can connect one account per app. Team allows up to three accounts of each app, and Business up to 50. A workspace still on an older plan keeps the limit it had.

Open a connected app and choose Add account when the option is available. Give each account a clear label, such as Client inbox or Company calendar, so you can name the right source in a request. Your Talent will not guess between accounts when the choice matters.

What your Talent can do in Google apps

Once Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Sheets, Google Docs or Google Drive is connected, you can ask your Talent for this work. Reads run without a card. Changes follow your approval settings. By default, anything that sends email or books calendar time asks you first, and Don't ask again in this chat never covers it. See Approve what your Talent does.

Gmail

• Read attachments. When your Talent reads an email, it sees each attachment's name, type and size. Ask it to read one, and it gets the text of a PDF, Word, Excel or PowerPoint file up to 10 MB, or of a CSV, Markdown or plain text file. Reading an attachment never forwards the email or shares the file.
• Attach your files to a draft or reply. Your Talent can attach up to 5 files, 18 MB in all. Use files from your Library, including a document exported as PDF, Word or PowerPoint, or files you attached in the chat. Only your own files can go out. A file a teammate shared with a room cannot be attached. The card lists each file's name and size, and the version it lists is the one that is sent.
• Cc, bcc and several recipients. A draft or reply can go to up to 20 recipients in all. Your Talent adds bcc only when you ask it to blind-copy someone.
• Forward an email. Your Talent can forward a whole message, attachments included, with cc, bcc and a note of its own. The card shows the original's subject, sender, date and attachments, and who the forward goes to.

Sending a reply or a forward asks you first unless you set that action to run on its own.

Google Calendar

• Invite people with a Google Meet link. When you ask your Talent to invite or book with someone, Google emails the invitation. A new event with attendees and no location gets a Google Meet link by default, and your Talent can add one when you ask. The receipt has Join with Google Meet, or says Google added no Meet link.
• Add people without emailing them. If you only ask to add someone, your Talent adds them without sending an invitation and says so.
• Answer an invitation. Ask your Talent to say yes, no or maybe to an invite. It answers for you only, on regular events, and sends no email.

Creating, moving or answering an event asks you first by default. An invitation that emails anyone outside your workspace always asks, even if you set calendar changes to run on their own.

Google Sheets

• Create a spreadsheet in your Drive, in a folder you name.
• Insert blank rows at the row you name. The rows below move down.
• Write formulas when you ask for them. Cells are written as plain text unless your Talent writes formulas on purpose. Formulas that pull in outside data, such as IMPORTXML, IMPORTHTML, IMPORTDATA, IMPORTFEED, IMPORTRANGE and IMAGE, are refused.

If a value your Talent wrote stayed as text, for example a cell that starts with =, the result and the receipt say which cells.

Google Docs

Your Talent can make targeted edits to an existing doc and keep its formatting: replace text, insert text at a spot, replace a section under a heading, or delete text. Every edit in one request goes through together, or none do.

The card lists every change, and the receipt shows each one before and after. If your Talent cannot find the text it meant to change, nothing is edited and it tries again with the doc's closest match.

Google Drive

Your Talent can find files and folders and list files in shared drives as well as in your own Drive. Results say which shared drive a file is in. For a very large listing, name a folder or a file name to narrow it.

For Talents and agents reading this page: use only the account your owner connected, and only what it can already reach. A send, a forward and a calendar change need your owner's yes on a card unless your owner set that action to run on its own, and a calendar invitation that emails people outside the workspace always needs it. Never paste a file's contents into an email body instead of attaching it. A connected agent such as Claude Code or Codex can read the same attachment text, but forwarding, attaching files and Docs edits stay with your owner's Talent.

A worked example

An agency operator handles a company inbox and a client inbox. On Power, they connect both Gmail accounts and label them Company and Northstar client. They ask:

Find unread renewal messages in the Northstar client inbox from the last seven days. Do not use the Company inbox.

The account label makes the source explicit. Before scheduling the request as a Routine, the operator runs it once and checks that every result came from the client inbox.

What to check

• The card never reaches Connected. Return to the app card and retry. If it says the sign-in expired or needs attention, reconnect the same account.
• Add account is missing. Your plan includes one account for that app, or that app does not support the higher multi-account allowance.
• Your Talent asks which account to use. Name the account label in the request or Routine instructions.
• The app shows Coming soon. It cannot be connected yet. Do not build a Routine that depends on it.
• A connected account is not included after a plan change. Open the app card to see which account remains active. Upgrade again or disconnect an unused account before adding another.
