# Integrations

> Connect external accounts to extend what Experio's AI assistants can access

## Overview

Integrations let you connect external accounts — such as Google Workspace — directly to Experio. Once connected, AI assistants can access your emails, calendar events, documents, and files on your behalf during conversations.

Navigate to **Integrations** from the sidebar or visit `/integrations`.

## Google Workspace

The Google Workspace integration gives Experio's AI assistants read-only access to your:

* **Gmail** — Search and read email messages
* **Google Drive** — List and search files
* **Google Docs** — Read document content
* **Google Calendar** — View upcoming events and schedules
* **Google Sheets** — Read spreadsheet data

### Connecting Your Account

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Integrations">
    Click **Integrations** in the sidebar to open the integrations page.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click Connect">
    Find the **Google Workspace** card and click **Connect**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Sign in with Google">
    A Google sign-in window opens. Choose the Google account you want to connect and grant the requested permissions.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start using it">
    Once connected, the card shows a **Connected** status. You can now ask assistants about your Gmail, Drive, Calendar, and Docs in any conversation.
  </Step>
</Steps>

### What You Can Ask

Once connected, try messages like:

* "List my recent emails"
* "Search my Drive for the Q4 budget spreadsheet"
* "What meetings do I have this week?"
* "Summarize the contents of my latest Google Doc"

The assistant automatically uses your Google Workspace connection when your question involves email, files, or calendar data.

<Note>
  If you have not connected your Google account and ask about Gmail, Drive, or Calendar, the assistant will direct you to the Integrations page to set up the connection.
</Note>

### Disconnecting

To disconnect your Google Workspace account:

1. Go to **Integrations**
2. Click **Disconnect** on the Google Workspace card
3. Confirm the disconnection

After disconnecting, assistants will no longer be able to access your Google data. You can reconnect at any time.

## Slack

Connect your Slack workspace to let assistants search channels, read message history, and (with your
approval) post messages.

### Connecting

1. Open **Integrations** (`/integrations`)
2. Click **Connect** on the Slack card
3. Authorize the requested scopes in Slack
4. The card shows **Connected** when complete

### What You Can Ask

* "Search Slack for messages about the product launch"
* "What was discussed in #experio-dev this week?"
* "Post a summary to #general" (requires write approval — see below)

## Write approval

When an assistant needs to **change** something in a connected system (post a Slack message,
create a HubSpot record, etc.), Experio pauses and asks you to approve or decline.

The approval prompt shows:

* A **plain-language summary** of each action (e.g. sending a message in a specific channel)
* **Raw request** data you can expand for full detail

Click **Approve writes** to run the actions, or **Decline** to skip them. The assistant continues
after your decision.

Organization-wide integrations (e.g. HubSpot) use the same approval flow for write tools.

## Privacy and Security

* **Read-only access** — Experio only reads your data. It cannot send emails, create files, or modify calendar events.
* **Encrypted tokens** — Your OAuth tokens are encrypted at rest and never exposed in chat responses.
* **No permanent storage** — Data retrieved from your Google account is used to answer your question and is not permanently stored in Experio's knowledge base.
* **Per-user connections** — Each user connects their own account. Your connection is not shared with other users.
* **Revocable** — You can disconnect at any time from the Integrations page, or revoke access from your [Google Account permissions](https://myaccount.google.com/permissions).
