Connect an app

Connect an app

1. Open Connectors in your settings.
2. Find the app. Popular shows Google and Microsoft apps first. Every other app is under All connectors. To find an app, type its name or category in the Search connectors box. The matches show under Results.
3. Click Connect next to the app.
4. The app’s sign-in page opens in the same tab. Sign in and allow access. Some apps ask for an API key or other details here instead.
5. You come back to the Connectors page. It says “The account is connected.”

For some apps, a box opens before step 4 with a step to do first. Do that step, then click the button to continue.

When an app is connected, your account name, or “Connected”, shows under the app’s name. Brea also texts you to confirm.

If it doesn’t connect

If you see “The account did not connect. Please try again.”, click Connect again. Make sure you finish the steps on the app’s page.

Connect from a link Brea sends

When Brea needs an app you haven’t connected, it texts you a link. Open it and sign in to your Brea account if you’re asked. The Connectors page opens and the connect steps start by themselves. If the app is already connected, the page says so.

Reconnect an app

If an app’s access expired or was removed, or Brea needs more access than you gave it, Brea texts you a link to reconnect the app. Open it and sign in to the app again. On the app’s page, allow all the access it asks for.

Disconnect an app

1. On the Connectors page, click Disconnect next to the app.
2. A box asks you to confirm, like “Disconnect Gmail? Brea will not be able to use it.” for Gmail. Confirm.

Brea loses access right away.

Goals that watch that app stop getting its events. See Goals.

Fix an app that stopped working

If Brea says it can’t use an app, open the reconnect link Brea sends. Or disconnect the app and connect it again.
