Connect external systems to a workspace.
Use remote functions for API calls, hooks for record-level events, and automations for scheduled synchronization. Workspace policies still apply when apps or agents use those integrations.
Remote functions
Define typed server queries and commands for external APIs and multi-record work.
Hooks
Run validation or side effects when a collection record changes.
Automations
Run recurring imports, exports, reconciliations, and notifications on a schedule.
Envoys
Let approved users work through web chat, WhatsApp, or Telegram under workspace policies.
When there is no native connector
Call the system through a typed remote function when it has an API. Use a scheduled automation for recurring imports or exports. If neither is possible, map the remaining manual handoff before deciding whether browser automation is appropriate.
