Connections
Manage your connections with third-party services to enhance your experience by allowing seamless access and integration of your data.
What are Connections?
Connections in Refly allow you to link your account with various third-party services using OAuth. This secure authorization framework lets you grant Refly permission to access your data on these services without sharing your password. By establishing these connections, Refly can access and interact with your data on your behalf, enabling enhanced features and integrations.
Why Use Connections?
Streamlined Workflows:
Automatically pull in data from your connected services to streamline your workflows and reduce manual effort.
Enhanced Features:
Unlock advanced features and functionalities that rely on data from third-party services.
Centralized Management:
Manage and monitor all your connected services in one place, ensuring you have control over your integrations.
Available connections
We currently offer 2 connections to make integrating with our platform seamless. Below are the available connections:
How to Set Up Connections
Setting up a connection with a third-party service is simple and secure. Follow these steps to connect your Refly account with services like Google:
Navigate to the Connections Page
Go to your assistant settings and select "Connections."
Choose a Service
Select the third-party service you want to connect with, such as Google Spreadsheets.
Authorize Access
You will be redirected to the service's OAuth authorization page. Log in with your credentials for the third-party service. Grant Refly the necessary permissions to access your data.
Confirmation
Once authorized, you will be redirected back to Refly. If the connection was succesfull, you will be able to manage and disconnect the service.
Access to Functions
Once a connection is established, you gain access to specialized "functions" within Refly. These functions allow the assistant to fetch data and utilize the connection, providing a more interactive and productive experience.
For example:
- Fetch Data: Automatically retrieve files, documents, or other data from your connected service in conversations.
- Data Utilization: Use the retrieved data within Refly's chat interface.
Managing Your Connections
You can view and manage all your connected services from the Connections page.
Here, you can:
- View Connected Services: See a list of all services you have connected to your Refly account.
- Revoke Access: If you no longer wish to allow Refly to access a particular service, you can revoke the connection at any time by clicking on "disconnect".
If access is revoked, all assistants that have a connection associated with this email address will have their connection with that provider removed immediately.
- Update Permissions: Modify the permissions granted to Refly if the third-party service allows it.
Security and Privacy
Your security and privacy are paramount. When you connect to third-party services, Refly uses OAuth, a secure authorization framework, to ensure that your credentials are never shared with us. Only the permissions you explicitly grant are used, and you can revoke access at any time.
Supported Services

We are continuously working to expand our list of supported services. Stay tuned for updates on new integrations.
Troubleshooting Connections
If you encounter any issues while setting up or managing your connections, you can:
Check Permissions: Ensure that you have granted all necessary permissions during the authorization process. Review OAuth Settings: Verify that your OAuth settings on the third-party service are configured correctly. Contact Support: Reach out to our support team for assistance with any connection-related issues. By leveraging Connections, you can maximize the potential of Refly by integrating it seamlessly with your preferred third-party services, making your workflow more efficient and productive.
