Bring your tools into Chief

Integrations let Chief read from and act in the apps you already use — including Google Drive, Gmail, Google Calendar, Notion, and Slack. Once connected, Chief can pull that data into a task, search it, and, for some tools, take actions on your behalf.

What you can connect

  • Google Drive — sync files and folders so Chief can read them.
  • Gmail — read, search, draft, send, label, and archive email.
  • Google Calendar — read your calendars and events, create or update events, and send RSVPs.
  • Notion — connect a Notion workspace so Chief can access the pages and databases you share with it.
  • Slack — search messages and read channels using your own Slack access.
  • Chief’s hosted MCP server — let Claude Code, Cursor, and other MCP clients work with your Chief Project.
Organizations on a qualifying plan can also set up Google Workspace once for the whole org, so Gmail, Calendar, and Drive work across users without each person connecting their own account. See the Google Workspace admin guide for that.

Where to connect them

Open Settings and select Integrations. Each available tool has its own connection controls. Follow the prompts for the tool you want to use.

Actions and asking first

When an integration can change something — sending an email, creating a calendar event, moving messages to Trash — Chief shows you a confirmation card and waits for your Approve before it runs. You can let trusted operations run without asking each time in the tools panel. See Managing integration permissions & connection status for details.

Build another connection

Chief has a REST API, a vendor-hosted MCP server, and a command-line client for building other connections — see Build on Chief.

FAQ

No. Connect only the tools you want Chief to use. Each one is independent, and you can disconnect any of them later.
For Google, yes — an organization owner can configure Google Workspace once so Gmail, Calendar, and Drive work org-wide. Notion and personal Google connections are tied to the account that set them up.
