Integrations overview

Brink connects to the systems your team already works in — project management, email, chat, calendars, and file storage — and indexes their content so the assistant can answer questions with citations back to the original source.

​

How integrations work

There are three concepts to understand, and they build on each other:

​

Organization vs. personal connections

Every integration connects in one of two modes:

• Organization connections are set up by an owner or admin from the Integrations page. The data is shared with the projects it’s bound to.
• Personal connections are set up by any member from Profile → My integrations. Data from a personal connection is only visible to you — it powers your own assistant and is never shared with your team.

Some integrations support only one mode. Gmail, for example, is personal-only — a mailbox belongs to one person — so it never appears on the Organisation tab. Connect it from your profile instead. Procore, Slack, Microsoft Teams and Box work the other way round: they are organization-level only.

​

Available integrations

The catalog you see is specific to your workspace: Brink can enable, park, or hide individual integrations per organization, so the list above may not match yours exactly. If you need one that isn’t showing, contact Brink.

​

Availability states

• Available — the card is live and can be connected.
• Coming soon — the card is visible with a Coming soon badge but can’t be opened or connected. It sorts to the end of the catalog. If your organization already has an account connected on a connector that later gets parked, the card stays fully usable: you keep sync, details and disconnect, and only new authorizations are withheld.
• Not listed — an integration Brink has turned off for your workspace simply doesn’t appear.

​

The Integrations page

Open Integrations from the sidebar. The page has up to three views, shown as tabs across the top:

• Organisation (owners and admins only) — the catalog grid: connect organization accounts, see sync status, and manage each connection from its drawer.
• My integrations — your personal accounts, the same list as Profile → My integrations. This is the default view for members.
• Projects (named after whatever your organization calls projects) — every binding, grouped by project. Admins can unbind and add bindings here; members get the same list read-only.

​

Filtering the catalog

On the Organisation view, a search box (Search integrations…) matches on name and description, and a row of filter tabs narrows the grid — All, Popular, Connected, plus one tab per category (Project Management, Communication, Documents). Each tab carries a count. Cards are always ordered the same way, on every surface that lists integrations — the catalog, your profile, and onboarding: connected first, then available, then Coming soon. So whatever you’ve already set up stays at the top. Each card shows the provider’s logo, a one-line description and a status line: Not connected, 2 accounts connected, or a freshness reading such as 1 connected· Synced 5m ago. Cards you haven’t connected show a Connect → hint.

​

The connection drawer

Clicking a card opens a drawer on the right with everything for that integration:

• Accounts — one card per connected account, with its status, last sync time, and the buttons Sync now, Details, Disconnect. Procore accounts also get Import projects; folder connectors get Bind folders. Below the list, Add another account starts a second authorization.
• Connection method — which OAuth app the connection runs on. See below.

​

Using your own app

By default, connections run through Brink’s app with the provider. Some connectors let an organization point the connection at its own app instead — Brink then uses your credentials to authorize, to keep the connection alive, and (where the provider supports it) to revoke access when you disconnect. This is offered for:

• Procore
• Google Drive
• OneDrive & SharePoint
• Microsoft Teams

You’ll find it in the drawer under Connection method, which shows either Brink’s app (badge: Default) or Your own … app — named for the connector — (badge: In use). Expanding it reveals the Redirect URI to register with the provider, the credential fields to fill in, Save credentials, and — once you’re on your own app — Use Brink’s app instead.

​

Where to find things

• Integrations page (Integrations in the sidebar) — the catalog, connection drawers, and the Projects binding view.
• Profile → My integrations — connect and manage your personal accounts.
• Projects page — each project card has an Integrations tab where you bind resources and trigger per-binding syncs.
• Onboarding — the setup wizard’s Connect your tools step offers the organization-level integrations when you first create your org.

​

Who sees what

Brink decides visibility for every piece of synced data, in strict order:

1. Private — anything from a personally connected account is visible only to that person. No setting can widen it.
2. Project-scoped — data bound to a project is visible to that project’s members.
3. Organization-wide — shared, non-mail sources with no project binding.

Mail and calendar sources (Gmail, Outlook, Google Calendar, Outlook Calendar) get extra protection: if Brink cannot determine whose mailbox a connection represents, the data is held unreadable by anyone rather than defaulting to organization-wide. Brink always errs on the side of privacy — when the owner can’t be identified, the mailbox is never exposed to the whole company.
