View as Markdownalfred_ works from the accounts you connect: email and calendars first, then chat, CRM and file apps. You sign in to each with its own login and can disconnect it any time.
Email and calendars
Connect from Settings → Connected Accounts. A Google or Microsoft account brings its mailbox and its calendar together.
| Provider | What connects | Guide |
|---|---|---|
| Gmail, Google Calendar, Drive and Tasks | Gmail | |
| Microsoft | Outlook, Outlook Calendar, OneDrive and SharePoint | Outlook |
| iCloud | Calendar only | Calendars |
| Other email | Any IMAP and SMTP mailbox | Settings → Connected Accounts |
You can connect up to six Gmail and Outlook accounts, in any mix. IMAP mailboxes don’t count toward the six. Your mail from every account shows together in Inbox, your calendars merge when alfred_ looks for open time, and you choose which address to send from.
Other apps
Open Integrations in the sidebar, pick an app and sign in with that app’s own login.
- Chat: Slack (the channels and DMs you’re in) and Microsoft Teams (your 1:1 and group chats). See Slack and Microsoft Teams.
- CRM: HubSpot and Salesforce. See HubSpot and Salesforce.
- Files: Google Drive, OneDrive and SharePoint.
- Meetings: Zoom links, plus notes and transcripts from Fireflies, Fathom, Granola, Otter and Read.ai, and Calendly bookings.
- Tasks and projects: Notion, Todoist, Asana, Monday.com, Linear, Jira, Confluence, Airtable and GitHub.
- Money: Stripe, QuickBooks and Square.
Some apps are read-only: alfred_ looks things up in them when you ask and doesn’t change anything there.
How access works
- You connect each account or app yourself, and alfred_ reads only what you can read.
- It changes something in an app only when you ask, and shows you the change first.
- Remove an account in Settings → Connected Accounts, or disconnect an app from its page in Integrations. alfred_ stops reading or sending on it right away.
If a connection breaks
| What you see | What to do |
|---|---|
| “Needs reconnect” next to an account | The sign-in expired, usually after a password change. Click Reconnect. |
| “Need admin approval” on a Microsoft work account | Your organization approves new apps centrally. See Microsoft 365 admin approval. |
| “This app is blocked” on Google Workspace | Your Workspace admin restricts third-party apps. See Gmail. |
| Connected, but no mail yet | Recent mail arrives within a minute; older mail over the next few minutes. |
