Connectors
Connectors are secure bridges between Le Chat and your external tools and data sources. They let you retrieve, analyze, and act on data from services like Gmail, Google Drive, GitHub, or Notion directly from the chat.
Instead of switching between apps, you ask Le Chat: "Check my Gmail for unread messages about the quarterly report" or "Find the latest design document in Google Drive."
Available Connectors
All featured Connectors are enabled by default for your organization. Click Connect on the card and authenticate.
| Connector | What it does |
|---|---|
| Gmail | Include your email in your chats |
| Google Calendar | Include your calendar in your chats |
| Outlook | Search through your emails and draft replies |
| GitHub | Search repositories, review issues, and manage pull requests |
| Box | Search, analyze, and get insights from your files |
| Notion | Search, summarize, and author content |
| Atlassian | Connect to Confluence and Jira to search, summarize, and perform project actions |
| Linear | Search, summarize, and manage your issues and projects |
| Stripe | Access and manage payments, customers, and transactions |
Administrators can disable specific Connectors for the whole organization if needed.
Connecting a service
To connect a featured Connector:
- Open the
Connectorspage from the sidebar. - Find the Connector card and click
Connect. - Complete the authentication flow (typically OAuth 2.0). Your password is never shared with us.
A green Connected indicator confirms the connection. You can disconnect at any time from the same page.
Google Drive and SharePoint require administrator setup before users can connect, because we index your team's files. See our Knowledge Connectors guide.
Using Connectors in chat
Once connected, enable a Connector in your conversation:
- Click the
+icon or type/in the chat window. - Select
Toolsthen enable the Connector you want to use.
Then ask your question naturally. Le Chat figures out which Connector to call based on your request.
Typical prompts:
- "What meetings do I have tomorrow?"
- "Find the latest Q3 revenue deck in Google Drive."
- "Create a calendar event for Friday at 2pm with the product team."
- "Check my unread emails from the legal team."
Approving actions
When a Connector performs an action on your behalf (sending an email, creating an event, modifying a file), Le Chat asks for your approval before executing it. You have three options:
- Continue: approve this specific action.
- Always allow: pre-authorize this function so Le Chat won't ask again.
- Decline: cancel the action.
Read-only functions (retrieving data) may also require approval depending on your Connector's configuration.
You can manage per-function permissions at any time. Go to Connectors, select My Connectors, open the Connector card, and toggle Always Allow for each function in the Functions tab.
Using Connectors with Agents
You can enable Connectors alongside Agents so the Agent can pull data from your connected services when answering. Enable the Connector as a tool, then mention your Agent with @. The Agent uses the Connector based on its instructions and your request.
Libraries and knowledge Connectors (Google Drive, SharePoint) can't be used together on the same Agent. Other Connectors (Gmail, Google Calendar) work alongside either option.
Data and privacy
How we handle Connector data depends on the type:
- Regular Connectors (Gmail, Google Calendar, etc.): data is fetched in real time for your current request. We don't store it on our servers. Disconnecting revokes access immediately.
- Knowledge Connectors (Google Drive, SharePoint): files are indexed and stored in our European data centers. See Knowledge Connectors for details.
Training: data accessed through Connectors is never used to train or fine-tune our models, regardless of your plan. Conversations that reference Connector data are treated as regular user-provided content and follow your plan's data policies.
For more details, see our trust center.
- Knowledge Connectors: set up Google Drive and Microsoft SharePoint for your organization.
- MCP Connectors: browse the directory or connect your own MCP-compatible servers.
- Libraries: build knowledge bases from uploaded documents. Use Libraries when you want to control exactly which files are available.
- Agents: attach Connectors to Agents for context-aware assistants.
- Files upload: upload documents directly into a conversation when you don't need a persistent connection.
