Connect services to Dropstone
One table in Settings holds every service Dropstone can reach: built-in connections like Google and SmartThings, and remote servers you add by URL. What each one lets it do, and how to disconnect.
Settings holds one table of Connectors: the built-in connections, and any remote server you add yourself, each with a status. A connector is how Dropstone reaches something outside the chat, your mail, your home, a repository, a service your team runs.
In beta, for selected accounts. Google reaches mail, calendar, and contacts, and an inbox is a great deal of knowledge about a person. It is opened carefully, to a limited set of accounts while it is tested.
Connected, Dropstone can search and read your mail, list your calendar, and look up contacts. Two things it will not do on its own:
- It never sends an email. A reply is shown to you as an editable card, and you send it or save it as a draft.
- It never creates an event without you. The event is drafted as a card and created only if you approve it.
SmartThings
Samsung's smart home platform. Connected, Dropstone can see your devices and their live state, and control them. See Control your smart home.
Other servers
Built in. GitHub, Notion, and Linear appear in the same table, with a status for each.
Remote servers you add. Add any MCP server by URL, with a name and a token if it needs one, and it sits beside the built-in ones. A connected row shows how many tools it offers.
The table can be filtered to all, connected, or not connected, which is the quickest way to see what is reachable from your account.
Connecting and disconnecting
- Open Settings and choose Connectors.
- Find the service and click Connect. A consent screen opens in a popup, listing what it is asking for.
- To stop it, click Disconnect on the same row. The status changes and Dropstone can no longer reach it.
What an organization allows
An organization's Policies decide which models, connectors, surfaces, and tools its members may use. A connector an administrator has not allowed is refused with a clear message rather than a generic error. See Roles and permissions.
