# Personal Connectors (Gmail, Slack, and more)

> Connect your own accounts and let the AI act on your behalf

**Personal connectors** connect your own accounts — Gmail, Slack, Google Calendar, Notion, and more — via OAuth so the AI can operate them on your behalf. Connect them from the Connectors page.

## Available services

| Service             | What the AI can do                                                                                                            |
| ------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Gmail**           | Search and read email, send email                                                                                             |
| **Slack**           | Search and read messages, post to channels (multiple workspaces supported)                                                    |
| **Google Calendar** | Check your schedule; create, change, and delete events                                                                        |
| **Notion**          | Import shared pages into knowledge and reference them (works with [Knowledge](/en/pages/jinba_app_neo/knowledge/add-sources)) |

Beyond these, Google and Microsoft apps — Google Drive, Google Docs, Google Sheets, Google Meet, Google Tasks, Excel, OneDrive, SharePoint, Outlook, and Microsoft Teams — can be connected the same way, so the AI can call each connected app's tools. Every connection opens its own authorization screen and is per-user, just like the services above (the lineup can vary by environment).

## Connecting

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the Connectors page">
    Open "Configure" > "Connectors" in the sidebar.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect a service">
    Press the "Connect" button for the service you want, then sign in and approve on the authorization screen that appears.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Use it in chat">
    Once connected, just ask in chat — "Summarize yesterday's email from Tanaka-san" or "What's on my calendar tomorrow?" — and the AI will use the tools.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Connecting and reconnecting from chat

You don't have to visit the Connectors page first. When a conversation needs a service you haven't connected, the AI can show a connect card — "**Connect Gmail?**", for example — right in the chat. Press "**Connect**" and approve on the authorization screen that opens in a separate window, or pass with "**Not now**." Once connected, the AI continues the conversation and can use the service right away. Connections made from chat are the same per-user connections as those made from the Connectors page.

If an existing connection stops working — the authorization has expired or been revoked, for example — the AI shows a reconnect card ("**Reconnect Gmail?**") the same way. Reconnecting re-authenticates the same connection in place; nothing needs to be set up again.

## Sending email with Gmail

When you ask the AI to send an email, an **email draft card** appears in the chat. Review and edit the recipients, subject, and body before sending, or cancel with "Discard." The AI never sends email on its own.

## Security and privacy

* Personal connectors are used only in chats by **you, the person who connected them**. Other workspace members cannot access your Gmail or Slack
* Credentials (tokens) are stored encrypted and are never passed to the AI
* You can "Disconnect" at any time. After disconnecting, the AI can no longer access that service (you can reconnect whenever you like)

<Note>
  If you disconnect Notion, knowledge already imported remains, but you can no longer import new pages or refetch existing ones.
