My Connectors

My Connectors is where you link your own work accounts — your Outlook, your Gmail, your JIRA — so that agents can act on your behalf, with your data, under your control. Until you connect something, agents simply can't see it; once you do, they can only see what you've allowed.

You'll find My Connectors in the EnClaw web app when your role includes it — the sidebar shows it if managing your own connectors is part of your setup. If you don't see the page, that's not a fault: in some organisations an admin manages connectors on your behalf, so ask them if an account needs linking.

What "delegated access" means

When you connect an account, you're delegating: the agent acts as you, and sees only what you can see.

  • If you connect Outlook, an agent reading "the calendar" reads your calendar — not your manager's, not the company's.
  • Your colleague connecting their own Outlook sees only their data. Connectors are strictly personal; nothing you connect is visible to anyone else's agents.
  • If you haven't connected a service, an agent asked about it will say it's not connected rather than guessing or borrowing someone else's access.

In short: connectors extend your own reach, nothing more. The agent becomes a pair of hands working inside accounts you already own.

The connectors

ConnectorHow it linksWhat agents can then do for you
Microsoft / OutlookSign-in pop-up — approve with your Microsoft accountRead your email and calendar, draft and send email, create events, manage your To-Do tasks
Google / GmailSign-in pop-up — approve with your Google accountRead and send Gmail, work with Drive files
JIRAYour email + a personal API token from JIRASearch and read issues, create and update them (with approval)
Productive.ioA personal API token + your organisation IDRead projects and tasks, create/update/assign tasks (with approval)
GitHubA personal access tokenWork with repositories on your behalf
SlackA short code exchange — the EnClaw bot DMs you a code to confirm it's youTies your Slack identity to your EnClaw account so DMs and mentions are correctly yours

For the sign-in style connectors (Microsoft, Google), you'll see the provider's own consent screen listing exactly what's being granted — the same pop-up you'd see connecting any app. For the token style (JIRA, Productive.io, GitHub), the service's own settings page is where you create the token; you then paste it into EnClaw, where it's stored encrypted.

Connecting, step by step

  1. Open My Connectors and pick the service.
  2. Follow the prompt — sign in and approve, or paste your token.
  3. Choose your permissions (next section).
  4. Save. The card shows Connected, and agents can start using it immediately.

Granular permissions and risk indicators

Connecting a service doesn't have to mean handing over everything. Each connector offers per-action toggles — separate switches for things like:

  • Read my email — on
  • Read my calendar — on
  • Send email — off, thanks

Alongside each permission you'll see a risk indicator: read-only actions are low risk (they can't change anything), while actions that create, change or send things are flagged higher. A sensible pattern is to start read-only, live with it for a week, then switch on the write actions you actually want — remembering that risky actions are also protected by approvals, so even a permission you've enabled still pauses for your yes before anything is sent or created.

You can change these toggles at any time; changes take effect straight away.

Token health: connected, expired, disconnected

Each connector card wears a health badge:

BadgeMeaningWhat to do
ConnectedAll good — agents can use itNothing
ExpiredThe link has lapsed (tokens and sign-ins don't last forever, and password changes can end them early)Re-authenticate — one click, see below
DisconnectedNo active linkConnect (or reconnect) if you want agents to use this service

An expired connector is the single most common reason an agent suddenly "can't see" your email or calendar. Nothing is broken and nothing is lost — the permission slip has just run out.

Re-authenticating

  1. Open My Connectors.
  2. On the expired card, choose Re-authenticate.
  3. Approve the sign-in (or paste a fresh token for the token-based services).

The badge flips back to Connected and agents pick up where they left off. Your permission toggles are kept — you won't need to set those again.

Disconnecting

To cut a service off, open its card and disconnect it. Agents lose access immediately. You can reconnect any time, and it's completely fine to keep only the connectors you actually use — many people run happily with just Outlook or just Gmail.

Quick answers

  • "Do agents read my email all the time?" No. They look only when you (or a schedule you created) ask them to do something that needs it.
  • "Can my admin see my inbox through my connector?" No. Your connector serves your own conversations with agents; it isn't a window for anyone else.
  • "Something says it's not connected but I did connect it." Check the badge — it's probably Expired. Re-authenticate and try again. More in Troubleshooting.
