Connected apps

Connect the apps you already use, so a Spark can look things up and, with your approval, act in them.

Connecting an app​

Open Profile → Connections, or the Apps tab in a chat's attach sheet.

  • Your apps lists what you have connected. Turn on Use in this message for up to eight apps you want the Spark to use right now.
  • Popular lists common apps, such as Gmail, Google Calendar, Instagram, Notion, Slack, LinkedIn, X, GitHub and Google Drive. More apps has the rest.
  • Knowledge covers Notion, Google Drive and OneDrive as knowledge sources.
The Apps sheet in a chat: a search field, Your apps with one app still finishing its connection, and Popular apps each with a Connect button.
The Apps tab of the attach sheet.

Approval before any action​

Reading needs no approval. Acting does. Anything that sends, posts, books or changes something is proposed first. You approve it on a card in the chat (Approve or Not now) or in App requests.

  • A proposal expires after 30 minutes.
  • If Calynta is not sure an action went through, it never re-sends it by itself.

Managing connections​

In Connections you can pause and resume an app, reconnect it, or disconnect it (with a confirmation). You can connect more than one account for the same app.

Connections apply to all your Sparks. There is no per-Spark setting yet.

Apps and the browser are separate​

An app connection and a browser login are two different things. An app row may say "Browser · not signed in" and offer Sign in in the browser, for the times a Spark needs to use the website itself.

Still being verified

The full path from connecting an app to a Spark acting in it has not been verified end to end with a live account yet. Treat app actions as early: check each approval card carefully. Some apps also have their own limits: Instagram needs a Business or Creator account.
