What are connectors?
Connectors link the tools you already use, like QuickBooks, Slack or Apollo, to Alori. You connect each one once, on the Connectors page.
A connector links a tool you already use to Alori, so you don't type things twice. You connect each tool once, on the Connectors page, and it works for every project in your account.
Also called: integrations, apps, link a tool, sync, connecteurs, intégrations, connexions
What you can connect
QuickBooks Online: customers, invoices and payments without double-entry.
Slack and Discord: your bot posts in your channels, and your team talks to it there.
GitHub: your bot reads your code and opens pull requests for your team to review.
Google Search Console: your bot tells you how your website does in Google.
Apollo: find a customer's email and phone number in one tap.
Meta Lead Ads: new leads from your Facebook and Instagram lead ads show up in your CRM.
Stripe: card payments on invoices are built in. There's nothing to connect: Manage opens your payments.
Gmail and Google Calendar are different: each teammate connects their own, in the app's Settings › Integrations.
Step 1: Open Connectors
In the menu on the left, click Connectors. Search by name, or pick a category like Accounting or Sales.
Click: Connectors
Step 2: Connect a tool
Click Connect on the tool. You sign in to that tool and allow Alori, then you come back. You see "QuickBooks Online is connected." (with the tool's name). For Apollo, you paste a key instead.
You can also type "connect QuickBooks" in the chat. A card shows up with a Connect button.
Click: Connectors › Connect
Step 3: Choose which projects use it
Once it's connected, click Manage. Under Projects, All projects is ticked. Untick it to pick only some projects.
Click: Connectors › Manage › Projects
Good to know
You need a saved account to use Connectors.
Each tool connects once per account.
To stop using a tool, click Manage › Disconnect. Projects in your account stop using it.
If it doesn't work
"Not configured on this deployment yet." That tool isn't ready on Alori's side yet. Contact support.
"… could not connect. Try again." The sign-in didn't finish. Click Connect again and allow what the tool asks for.
"Needs reconnect" shows under the tool. See What do I do when a connector says "Needs reconnect"?
