External Connectors
Connect third-party services like Notion, Slack, Google, GitHub, and Obsidian
External connectors link AINexLayer to third-party services. Open the Connectors dialog in your workspace, pick a service, and click Connect. You can connect multiple accounts of the same service.
Most of them work as live tools in chat — after connecting, type @, pick the connector, then ask. The @ tag tells the agent to use that service; without it, a normal question may skip it. File sources (Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox) can also be imported into your knowledge base.
Write actions (creating a page, editing an issue, sending email) always ask for your confirmation in chat before they run.
One-click connectors
These work out of the box — click Connect and sign in. No separate setup guide needed.
| Connector | What the agent can do |
|---|---|
| Notion | Search, read, create, and update pages |
| Linear | Search, read, and manage issues and projects |
| Jira | Search issues with JQL, browse projects, create and edit issues |
| Confluence | Search and read spaces, create and update pages |
| ClickUp | Search and read tasks |
How to use them
- Open Connectors → choose the service → click Connect and approve access
- Confirm it shows as active on the Active tab
- Open Chat, type
@, pick that connector, then ask your question

There is also a MCPs card in the Connectors dialog for plugging any MCP server into the agent (for example Tavily or Linkup). Open Connectors → MCPs, enter the server URL and any auth headers, then save. In chat, type @ and pick that connector when you want to use its tools.
Importing files from Drive, OneDrive, and Dropbox
For file import: open the Documents sidebar, click Import, and pick the service — or connect from the Connectors dialog first. After authorizing, select the files you want. They are indexed into your knowledge base alongside uploads and notes. In chat, type @ and pick the file to keep answers focused.
Managing connections
Everything happens in the Connectors dialog:
- Active tab — see connected accounts, live status, and document counts
- Reconnect — if a token expires, the connector card prompts you to re-authorize
- Disconnect — removes the connection. For knowledge-base connectors this also removes the documents it indexed
