Once connected, you can: * Use natural language to search, read, create, update, or manage content in the linked app * Ask EmpowerGPT to perform tasks on your behalf, such as sending emails, scheduling meetings, or retrieving CRM records * Interact with your apps without manually navigating through them Each connector unlocks a dedicated set of capabilities based on the service. ### Connecting a Connector 1. Click **Connect** on the tile of the desired app. 2. EmpowerGPT will redirect you to the login page of the app. 3. Sign in to your account (Google, Microsoft, Slack, etc.). 4. Approve the required permissions. 5. Once authorized, the status will update to **Connected**. ### Using the Connector using Assistants 1. Once connected, the **connector** can be utilized in **Assistant**. 2. To use the connector, go to Assistants and create a new Assistant. 3. Enter Assistant Name (For example, Outlook Assistant). 4. To use connector, scroll to the Actions section and click 'Add Action'. 5. Add the required connector actions and save. 6. You can now use the app through natural language in EmpowerGPT.
--- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://docs.empowergpt.ai/data-import-and-integrations/connectors/working-with-connectors.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
