Connected Services

Connect the accounts you already use — Google, Slack, Notion, Figma, Linear and more — and Zinley can work inside them for you. Each connection is a browser sign-in you approve, and each one unlocks a specific set of things your agent can do.

Open Configure → Your Zinley → Apps → Services.

The Apps tab with two sub-tabs, Chat apps and Services, listing the integrations Zinley can connect to.
Apps → Services — the accounts Zinley can work inside.

Connecting an account

  1. Find the service in the list and choose Connect.
  2. Your browser opens the service's own sign-in page — Google's, GitHub's, whichever it is. You sign in there, not in Zinley.
  3. Review the permissions the service is about to grant and approve.
  4. You land back in Zinley with the service marked connected.

Zinley never sees your password. What it stores is the access token the service hands back, and you can take it away again at any time. Connected services show a CONNECTED badge with a Disconnect action; the rest offer Connect.

What you can connect, and what it unlocks

Service What Zinley can do once connected
Gmail Read, search, reply to, send, and delete mail in your Gmail account.
Google Calendar List calendars and events; create, update, and delete events.
Google Drive List, search, read, upload, download, move, copy, rename, star, and delete files; create folders; manage sharing and share links.

Then just ask:

"Put the Q3 numbers into a new Google Sheet and share it with Linh." "What did I miss in Gmail this morning?" "Create a Meet for Thursday at 2pm and invite the design team."

Seeing what's connected

The Services list is also your inventory: which accounts are linked, and — for each one — which tools it unlocks. If you're ever unsure why Zinley can or can't do something, this is the place to look first.

You can also just ask: "Which of my accounts are connected right now?"

Missing permissions

Some services grant permissions piece by piece, so a connection can be live but missing a scope an action needs — a Drive connection that can read but not share, for example. Zinley checks for this and flags the gap rather than failing silently.

The fix is always the same: reconnect the service and approve the fuller set of permissions when the provider asks.

Sending from your personal Gmail

Connecting Gmail does not turn Zinley loose on your inbox. Mail is only ever sent from your personal Gmail when you explicitly ask for it in a conversation — never from a background task, a workflow, or a scheduled job on its own.

Anything your agent sends on its own behalf goes out from its own Zinley email address, which is separate from your personal mail.

Disconnecting

Choose Disconnect on any service. Access ends immediately and the stored token is discarded; the tools that connection unlocked simply stop being available.

For belt and braces, you can also revoke Zinley from the provider's own security page (for Google, that's your Google Account → Third-party apps with account access).
