Search Slack, Drive and email from one place
Connect your tools to Claude once, then ask questions like 'what did we decide about the rebrand?' and get one answer pulled from everywhere — instead of searching five apps.

Search Slack, Drive and email from one place
Step 1 of 8
Understand what connectors give you
Out of the box Claude only knows what's in the chat. Connectors change that: each one lets Claude search that tool's content live, with the same permissions you have.
Checkpoint
You can name the two or three tools whose content you lose most often.
Before you begin
Tick these off as you sort them. Stopping halfway to create an account is how a fifteen-minute build becomes an hour.

- Account
Connectors work on free and paid plans, though paid plans search more content per question. Anything in this walkthrough works on either.
- Credential
You'll authorise each app with its own sign-in — Google for Drive and Gmail, your Slack workspace login for Slack.
- Know-how
Bring a real 'where did we put that?' question. It's the perfect test: if Claude finds it in seconds, the setup paid for itself.
The basics — ticked once, remembered everywhere
- Account
Either the hosted version or a self-hosted install. Everything here works the same on both — the only visible difference is the shape of your webhook URLs.
Create a workspace - Know-how
Adding a node, connecting two of them, and pressing Execute. If any of that is new, the free primer covers it in about ten minutes.
- Credential
You will paste at least one secret during setup. A password manager beats a notes app, and it stops you pasting a live key into a chat window by accident.
The shape of the setup
The Claude features you will touch, left to right, in the order you use them.
What you will build
