# Connecting your accounts
eBrain works best when it is connected to the tools you already use. The integrations hub, found under **Settings > Integrations** and titled **Connected Services**, is where you link your mailboxes, calendars, files, and other services so Tim can read, draft, and act on your behalf.
{% hint style="info" %}
**eBrain never stores your passwords.** Most services connect through the provider's own secure sign-in and consent screen, where you log in and approve access. Tim also never acts without permission: it asks before sending an email, creating an event, or making any other change.
{% endhint %}
## What you can connect
Services are grouped by purpose so they are easy to find. The exact list you see depends on what your workspace has enabled.
| Service | Group | What it unlocks |
| -------------------- | -------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Gmail** | Communication & Work | Read and send mail on your behalf; powers your [unified inbox](/mail/unified-inbox.md). |
| **Outlook Mail** | Communication & Work | Read and send mail from your Outlook mailbox; joins the unified inbox. |
| **Google Calendar** | Communication & Work | Read your schedule and create events; powers your [unified calendar](/calendar/overview.md). |
| **Outlook Calendar** | Communication & Work | Read your schedule and create events; joins the unified calendar. |
| **Google Drive** | Communication & Work | Let eBrain browse and import your files. |
| **Notion** | Communication & Work | Connect your notes and documents. |
| **HubSpot** | Growth & Sales | Make your customer and deal data available to eBrain. |
| **WhatsApp** | Communication & Work | Message Tim directly on WhatsApp (see below). |
{% hint style="info" %}
Older bookkeeping connectors (Moneybird and a bank connection) may still appear under **Business Essentials**, depending on your workspace. They belong to eBrain's earlier bookkeeping heritage and are not part of the core assistant.
{% endhint %}
## Connecting a service
{% stepper %}
{% step %}
## Open the integrations hub
Go to **Settings > Integrations** to see your available and connected services.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
## Choose a service and connect
Click a provider card, then **Connect securely**. For most services this takes you to the provider's own sign-in and consent screen, where you log in and approve access.
A few services connect with an **API key** instead. For those, a dialog asks you to paste the key.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
## Return to eBrain
After you approve access, you are returned to eBrain with a success confirmation, and the connection appears in your list.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}
Don't see the tool you need? Use **Request new connected service** to email eBrain support and ask for it.
## Connecting more than one account
eBrain is multi-account: you can connect several mailboxes and calendars at once. Gmail, Outlook Mail, Google Calendar, and Outlook Calendar all support **connecting more than one account**.
From a connected mail or calendar card you can:
* **Add another account** to connect an additional mailbox or calendar of the same kind.
* **Set as default** to choose which account eBrain uses by default. When you have two or more accounts of the same type, the default one shows a **Default** star badge.
Calendars connected only to check your availability show an **Availability only** badge.
## Connecting WhatsApp
WhatsApp appears as its own card in **Communication & Work**. To connect, open WhatsApp and send the one-time code to eBrain's number. The card offers a QR code and an **Open in WhatsApp** link, and the code can be re-requested if it expires.
{% hint style="warning" %}
A phone number can be linked to **only one company at a time**. If your number is already linked elsewhere, switch to that company and disconnect there first. Reconnecting in a new company starts your chat history fresh.
{% endhint %}
For the full setup, see [Using eBrain on WhatsApp](/ebrain-on-whatsapp/getting-started.md).
## Connection status and health
Each connection shows a health status so you always know it is working:
* **Working as expected** / **Syncing daily** / **Synced today** - everything is fine.
* **Pending** - the connection is still being set up.
* **Action needed** / **Needs attention** - the connection needs your attention, usually re-authorization.
* **Paused** - syncing is stopped.
A summary banner at the top reflects overall health and reminds you that your tools are securely connected and monitored by eBrain.
When a connection needs re-authorization, a **Reconnect** button appears. Use it to sign in again and keep syncing without losing your settings.
### Migrating an older connection
If you still have an older combined Google or Microsoft connection, it appears as a **(legacy)** card with an **Action needed** badge. Use its buttons to reconnect each half separately (Gmail, Google Calendar, Outlook Mail, or Outlook Calendar). You can migrate mail and calendar independently, or dismiss the legacy card.
## Disconnecting a service
To remove a service, open the card's menu and choose **Disconnect**, then confirm.
{% hint style="success" %}
**Disconnecting won't delete your data.** eBrain simply stops syncing from that service. You can reconnect any time.
{% endhint %}
You can disconnect WhatsApp the same way, which removes the link between your eBrain account and that number.
