Connectors
Connectors let Aethera work with external apps from chat and agent workflows. Each workspace keeps its own connector set, so a Personal workspace connection is separate from an organization workspace connection.

Connect an app
Section titled “Connect an app”Open Connectors
Section titled “Open Connectors”Choose Connectors from the sidebar.
Choose the active workspace
Section titled “Choose the active workspace”Check the workspace label near the top of the page. Connections are scoped to that Personal or organization workspace.
Search or filter
Section titled “Search or filter”Use Search connectors… or the category chips such as Productivity, Communication, Design, CRM, Finance, Development, or Support.
Click Connect
Section titled “Click Connect”Choose Connect on the app card and complete the provider authorization flow.
After a connector is active, Aethera can use that app’s available tools when a chat or agent run needs them and the relevant permission allows it.
Tool permissions
Section titled “Tool permissions”Tool permissions control how Aethera handles connector actions.
| Permission | Behavior |
|---|---|
| Auto-approve | Aethera may run the tool without asking again. Use this only for low-risk tools you trust. |
| Ask approval | Aethera asks before running the tool. This is the safest default for most connected-app actions. |
| Block | Aethera cannot use the tool. |
You can manage tool permissions from:
- a connected app’s tool-permissions action on the Connectors page
- Settings → Tool permissions
The Tool permissions page groups tools by capability, including read-only tools and write/delete tools. Write/delete tools deserve extra care because they can change external app data.
Free-plan connector limits
Section titled “Free-plan connector limits”If a Free-plan connector limit is reached, Aethera shows an upgrade prompt. Upgrade to connect more apps or use broader connector workflows.
Troubleshooting
Section titled “Troubleshooting”I connected an app but Aethera still asks for approval
Section titled “I connected an app but Aethera still asks for approval”Open the connector’s tool permissions and check whether the tool is set to Ask approval. Change it to Auto-approve only if you are comfortable with that tool running without another confirmation.
A tool is unavailable in chat
Section titled “A tool is unavailable in chat”Confirm that the connector is active in the current workspace and the specific tool is not blocked. Some tools also require the external account to grant the right scopes during authorization.
I cannot find a connector
Section titled “I cannot find a connector”Use the search field and reset the category chip to All. If no connector matches, it is not currently listed in the Connectors page.
