# Connectors

> Let Italic read and act in your email, calendar and other apps, with drafts you approve.

Connectors let Italic work in the apps you already use. In [chat](/chat) you
can ask "What did Sam email me about the launch?" or "Add lunch with Sam
Friday at noon", and your [workflows](/workflows) can send an email or save a
page after you record. Anything that sends or creates something starts as a
draft you can edit, and nothing happens until you approve it, unless you
choose otherwise.

## Where to manage them [#where-to-manage-them]

- **Web and Mac:** open **Connectors** in the sidebar of
  [app.italic.com](https://app.italic.com) or Italic for Mac.
- **iPhone:** open **Profile → Connectors**.

Each app has its own page with what Italic can and can't do there, your
connected accounts, its permission, the workflows that use it and its recent
activity. Connectors also lists, under **Agents**, the AI assistants that use
Italic. See [Italic in AI assistants](/apps/ai-assistants).

## Decide how much Italic may do on its own [#decide-how-much-italic-may-do-on-its-own]

Most apps' **Permission** has three choices:

- **Ask every time:** Italic drafts each email, event or page for you to edit
  and approve. This is the default.
- **Allow without asking:** Italic acts right away, without a draft. Italic
  asks you to confirm first, and the page marks it **Elevated risk**: a mistake
  or a misheard recording can send real email without a tap.
- **Off:** Italic doesn't use the app at all, in chat or in workflows.

Oura only reads, so its permission is **On** or **Off**. Ramp's changes are
always drafts, so it has **Ask every time** and **Off** but no **Allow without
asking**.

With more than one account, each one can follow the app's setting or use its
own, under **By account**.

The permission is for chat. Each workflow action has its own choice, **Ask
first** or **Run automatically**, and Off turns the app off for workflows too.
Some things always ask, whatever you choose: moving an email to the trash,
an email with no recipient, and every change in Ramp. Gmail and Outlook share
one email permission, and Google Calendar and Outlook Calendar share one
calendar permission.

Drafts wait in chat and in [Tasks](/tasks).

## Email people by name [#email-people-by-name]

Say a name, not an address: "Email Kati saying the test works." Italic looks
the name up in your contacts and the people you've emailed. If several people
match, it asks which one and never picks for you. A Google account connected
without the contacts permission shows **Reconnect to let Italic look up
contacts** on its Gmail page.

## Name and remove accounts [#name-and-remove-accounts]

Choose **Rename** beside an account to give it your own label, like "Work".
You can then say "send it from Work". **Remove** disconnects an account or
workspace and revokes Italic's access where the service allows it. Drafts that
use it can't be sent afterwards.
