Integrations

A
Written by Arman Vardanyan

Connect and manage your tools in Settings, then Integrations. The page shows three groups: Connected (your live connections), Available (tools you can connect right now), and Coming soon. A banner at the top of the page ("Do not see your tool?") lets you request an integration Binee does not offer yet; the request goes to the team through the help form.

Every connectable tool's card has a Details button. It opens a short overview of what Binee can do with that tool, with examples, and the exact steps to connect it. For example, a meeting tool's details explain that you can pull a meeting's action items and check whether they exist as tasks in your other connected tools.

Connections are per person

Each member connects their own accounts. Binee answers your questions through your own access: in chat it only queries a tool through your own live connection, so as a rule you see what your account can see and nothing more. Shared dashboards are the deliberate exception: their cards read the connection of whoever put them there (see the Dashboards page). A small number of tools do not offer that per-person filtering in their own systems: connecting them gives Binee the same account-wide view the tool gives any connected app. Where that applies, the card and its Details view say so plainly, for example that answers cover your firm's whole intake pipeline rather than just your own records, so nobody discovers it by surprise. Workspace owners and admins can additionally see which tools each member has connected and whether each connection is live, so they can build automations that will actually run; that is tool names and health only, never any content from those tools. If teammates have connected a tool but you have not, Binee will tell you honestly that you need to connect your own account, and the integration card will nudge you to do so.

Cards show your own state: Connected as you means your personal connection is live. The few integrations that connect once for the whole workspace are marked as workspace-wide on their card. Both badges carry a small info button that explains the scope in plain words: Connected as you is your personal connection (Binee answers through your own access, and teammates connect their own accounts), while Workspace-wide means an admin connected it once for everyone.

Connecting and disconnecting

  • Connect: open Settings, then Integrations, and press Connect on the tool's card. Most tools connect by signing you in with the tool itself to grant access; Binee never sees your password. A few tools connect with a personal API key instead: the card opens a short form that shows exactly where to copy the key inside that tool, verifies the key with the tool before saving anything, and stores it encrypted.

  • Regions: some tools run separate regional services, and your sign-in only works in yours. Where that applies, the connect flow first asks which region your account runs in; pick the one matching the address you normally sign in at (the card's Details view gives examples). Picking the wrong region simply fails the sign-in, and connecting again with the right region fixes it.

  • One vendor, several products: some vendors sell more than one product, each with its own sign-in on the vendor's side. Each such product gets its own card in Binee, named for the product, and connecting one does not connect the other. For example, a vendor's practice management product and its client intake product are two cards with two separate sign-ins; if Binee cannot see data you expected, check whether the card for that specific product is connected.

  • Expiring API keys: some tools put an expiration date on their API keys. Where the tool shows that date, the connect form asks for it, and the card (and Binee in chat) reminds you before it arrives so you can generate a fresh key in the tool and press Reconnect to paste it. If a key expires before you replace it, the card says Reconnect needed and reconnecting with a fresh key fixes it in one step.

  • Disconnect: press Disconnect on the card. You can reconnect at any time, and disconnecting is per person: it removes only your own connection. For sign-in connections, access is revoked immediately. For API key connections, Binee deletes its stored copy of the key; the key itself stays valid in the tool, and the disconnect message tells you where to regenerate it there if you want it fully revoked.

Status badges

Badges report measured reality:

  • Connected: your connection is live.

  • Not connected: you have no connection.

  • A connection that dies also affects automations that run on it, including one an owner or admin built for you; the Automations page shows those automations as needing attention until you reconnect.

  • Status unavailable: Binee could not check the status right now. This is shown honestly instead of guessing; try again shortly, and if it persists, contact support.

  • Coming soon: not connectable yet.

Health details on connected cards

Some connected cards also show a row of live details:

  • Dashboard numbers (where a card shows them): when your own dashboard numbers for that tool were last updated. That tool's cards on your dashboards work their numbers out with your own connection and keep only the numbers they display. Updating means an update is running, Update failed means the latest attempt failed (the card says why), and None yet means you have no cards from that tool on a dashboard. Chat and automations read the tool live, so there is nothing else to refresh. Example: your Delivery board's overdue card says Updated 2h ago, while asking Binee "what is overdue for Maria right now?" reads the tool as it is this second.

  • Live updates: whether the tool is pushing change events to Binee. Waiting for first activity is the normal state right after connecting: live updates start the first time something changes in the tool, and Binee reads your data either way in the meantime. Active means change events are arriving. Interrupted means the tool stopped sending events: automations that react to changes in that tool wait, while chat, dashboards, and scheduled automations keep reading it directly. Binee re-registers live updates automatically within a few hours.

  • Plan (where a tool's card shows one): the plan your account is on with that tool, detected automatically when the tool connects. It shows Not detected yet until detection has run; reconnecting the tool detects it again. Until then Binee assumes the most conservative request rate for that tool.

These values report measured reality only: Active is shown because events actually arrived, never inferred from anything else.

A card that shows dashboard numbers also has a Refresh data button. It updates your dashboard numbers right away (a very large workspace finishes the update in the background, and the card says so), and for workspace owners and admins it also checks live updates and re-registers them when they stopped. It tells you exactly what happened each time. Connecting a tool involves no initial copy or waiting: Binee reads your connected tools live, so a connection works the moment it is saved.

Permissions

Each connected integration has a Permissions button that opens your action permissions for it: which write operations may run without asking (Always allow) and which always ask first. You can flip operations one at a time, allow a whole section at once with its Allow all toggle (for example, every "Safe additions" operation in one click), or use the Allow all button at the top to grant everything at once; Reset all switches everything back to ask first. High risk operations always ask and cannot be set to always allow, so bulk controls never touch them.

MCP (coming soon)

Settings, then MCP is a coming-soon page for connecting AI assistants to your Binee workspace data through the Model Context Protocol, so an assistant like Claude could answer with your real projects, tasks, and insights. The one action there today is joining the waitlist: Binee emails you when access opens up. Joining the waitlist for the first time also turns on product update emails so you do not miss the announcement, and the page says so. You can turn product updates off anytime in Settings, then Notifications (the System emails section), and rejoining the waitlist never turns them back on.
