Integrations allow you to connect your Utari workers to external applications and services, dramatically expanding what they can do. By adding integrations, your workers can interact with Gmail, Google Calendar, Slack, Google Sheets, and many other apps to create powerful automation workflows.

▶ Watch the video walkthrough

Utari supports two types of integrations:

Pre-built integrations with popular apps like Gmail, Slack, Google Calendar, and more—ready to connect with just a few clicks

Custom Model Context Protocol servers that you can build and host to connect specialized tools or proprietary systems

ℹ️ Note

MCP Server Note: Utari does not host MCP servers. If you're using custom MCP servers, ensure they are hosted and accessible before connecting them to your workers.

Log into your Utari account at https://utari.ai/dashboard, go to Workers, and select the worker you want to enhance with integrations.

For example, select "Facebook Ads Generator" or any other worker.

Click on the Integrations tab in the worker's configuration panel. This is where you manage all connected apps for this worker.

Click Browse Apps to see the full catalog of available integrations, including:
- Gmail
- Google Calendar
- Slack
- Google Sheets
- Google Drive
- Asana
- Trello
- And many more

Search for the application you want to connect, or browse through categories. Once you find it, click Add next to the app name.

Let's use Slack as an example:

After clicking Add, you'll see a prompt to create a new connection.

Click Create new connection, then click Create connection.

Click Connect to launch the authentication popup. This will open the app's authorization page.

In the popup, select the specific account you want to connect to this worker.

Important: Make sure you select the correct account, especially if you have multiple accounts for the same service.

For example, select "Best of AI" workspace if that's the Slack workspace for this worker.

Review the permissions requested and click Install or Allow to grant access.

Once the popup closes, click I've completed authentication to finalize the connection.

⚠️ Warning

Always verify you're connecting the correct account. Connecting the wrong account could cause the worker to access the wrong data or perform actions in the wrong workspace.

After connecting an integration, you need to select which specific capabilities (tools) your worker can use:

You'll see a list of all available tools for that integration. For example, Slack might offer:
- Add reaction to message
- Create reminder
- Send message to channel
- Post direct message
- Upload file
- List channels
- And more

Check the boxes next to the tools you want to enable for this worker. Only enable tools that are relevant to the worker's purpose.

For example, if your worker only needs to send messages, enable just the messaging tools.

Click Save tools to apply your selections. You'll see a confirmation showing how many tools are now enabled (e.g., "6 tools enabled").

Click the settings icon (gear icon) next to the integration to adjust tool permissions or connection settings at any time.

💡 Tip

Start with the essential tools your worker needs, then add more capabilities as your requirements evolve. Too many tools can overwhelm the worker's decision-making.

Connect only integrations relevant to each worker's specific purpose and responsibilities

Use consistent accounts across related integrations for seamless data flow

Enable only necessary tools from each integration to maintain focus

Periodically review connected integrations and remove unused ones

For advanced users who need custom integrations:

Build a Model Context Protocol server following the MCP specification for your custom tools or APIs.

Deploy and host your MCP server on your own infrastructure. Ensure it's accessible and secure.

Note: Utari does not provide MCP server hosting.

In the Integrations tab, you can add your custom MCP server by providing its endpoint URL and authentication details.

Select which tools from your custom server should be available to the worker.

ℹ️ Note

Custom MCP servers allow you to integrate proprietary systems, internal databases, or specialized tools that aren't available in the standard integration catalog.

⚠️ Warning

Security Best Practices:
- Only connect integrations from trusted sources
- Review permissions carefully before granting access
- Use the principle of least privilege—only enable necessary tools
- Regularly audit connected accounts
- Revoke access for unused integrations
- Use separate accounts for testing vs. production
- Follow your organization's security policies

Check:
- Browser popup blocker settings
- Disable popup blocking for Utari temporarily
- Try a different browser
- Ensure third-party cookies are enabled

Verify:
- The app is supported by Utari (check browse apps)
- You're searching with the correct name
- The integration isn't already added
- Contact support if a needed integration is missing

Try:
- Checking your account credentials
- Ensuring you have admin/owner permissions for the account
- Disconnecting and reconnecting
- Clearing browser cache and cookies
- Verifying the account isn't locked or suspended

Ensure:
- You clicked "I've completed authentication"
- The page fully loaded after authentication
- Refresh the page if needed
- Try disconnecting and reconnecting the integration

Check:
- The permissions granted during initial connection
- Some tools may require additional permissions
- Disconnect and reconnect with full permissions
- Verify your account role in the connected app

To fix:
- Click the settings icon for the integration
- Disconnect the integration
- Click Add again and select the correct account
- Complete authentication with the right account

After initial setup, you can modify integration configurations:

In the Integrations tab, find the connected integration and click the settings icon (gear icon).

Enable or disable specific tools as your needs change.

Reconnect if credentials have changed or permissions need updating.

Disconnect the integration if it's no longer needed.
