Integrations: Connect the tools you already use

Integrations let your Biscuit apps and chats work with the services your team already uses, such as HubSpot, Google, Notion or Linear. Once you connect a tool, an app can show its data, keep it up to date and act on it. For example, a sales dashboard can show your open HubSpot deals, and a booking app can add events to your Google Calendar. There’s no code to write. You sign in to the service once, and your apps can use it from then on.

​

Connecting a tool

You can connect a tool in two ways: from chat while you build, or from Settings.

​

From chat

1. Describe what you need, for example: “Show my open HubSpot deals and let me move a deal when I drag it.”
2. Biscuit sees that your app needs HubSpot and asks you to connect it, right in the chat.
3. Sign in to the service and choose the access the app gets, for example Read: Companies, Deals and Change: Deals.
4. Biscuit builds your app, and the app can use the service straight away.

​

From Settings

1. Open Settings. You can also press Cmd + , (Mac) or Ctrl + , (Windows).
2. Select Connections.
3. Under Available, pick the tool.
4. Choose who can use the account and what it can access.
5. Sign in to the tool. The tool is now ready for any app that needs it.

​

Managing your integrations

You can manage integrations in two places: Settings, for the accounts you’ve connected, and an app’s Share settings, for how that app uses them.

​

In Settings

Open Settings → Connections. Under Connected, you’ll see each account you’ve connected, which apps use it (for example Used by Sales Dashboard and 2 more), and what it can access, such as Read or Change. For each account, choose Who can use this account:

• Only you: the account is kept in your Personal space. Only you can manage it or pick it for other apps and chats.
• A shared space: everyone in that space can pick it for their apps and chats. Anyone who can edit the space can manage it.

​

Reconnecting and Disconnecting your integrations

• If an account stops working, its card shows Needs reconnecting or Needs more access. Click Reconnect or Allow access and sign in again.
• To disconnect an account, open its menu on the Connections page.

​

In an app’s Share settings

Each service in an app uses either one shared account or each person’s own account. To choose:

1. Open the app and click Share.
2. Open Connected services.
3. For each service, choose one of these:
   • One shared account: everyone using the app goes through the same account, for example a team calendar or the company CRM. Someone who can edit the app connects it once. Until then, people who can only use the app are asked to wait for an editor.
   • Each person’s own account: everyone connects their own account, for example their own email or notes. Each person is asked to connect it the first time they use the app. After you switch between the two, the account needs to be connected again.

​

Using a service in chat, without an app

You don’t need to build an app to look something up. Ask a question in chat, for example “Which HubSpot deals are closing this month?” If the account isn’t connected yet, Biscuit asks you to connect it, then answers. Looking things up only reads data. Biscuit changes data in a connected service, or sends messages through it, only when you’ve clearly asked it to. If it isn’t sure, it asks first.
