Token does its work through the tools you give it: your notes, your calendar, your tracker, and more. Two things have to happen before Token can use a tool in a chat.

Connect an account

Sign in once to give Token its own access to a service. This creates the account. Token uses its own access, never your personal login.

Share it with a chat

Make a connected account usable in a specific channel. A tool only works in the chats you have shared it with.
Keeping these separate is what makes Token safe to use in shared channels: an account you connected is not automatically exposed everywhere. It only works where you have shared it.

​
The fastest way: just ask

You usually do not need to leave the chat. Ask Token for what you need, for example “read our Notion,” and if nothing is set up yet, Token posts a short Set it up card right there.
1

Tap Set it up

The card shows what is missing, for example “No Notion is set up in this channel yet,” with a Set it up button. Tapping it opens a private next step that only you can see.
2

Share or connect

If you already connected the right account, choose it to share it with this channel. If you have not connected it yet, follow the link to connect it first, then share it.
3

Done

Once shared, the channel shows that the tool is set up, and Token can use it.
Only the person who connected an account can share it. Sharing happens in a private step, so other people in the channel never see your other accounts.

​
Using the dashboard

You can also manage everything from the dashboard, which is the better place to see the whole picture:
  • Integrations lists every service and lets you connect a new account.
  • A channel’s settings show which accounts are shared with it. From there you can share another account, set a default account for that channel, or stop sharing one.

​
More than one account

You can connect more than one account for the same service, for example two calendars or two inboxes. When a channel has access to several, you can mark one as the default for that channel, and Token uses that unless you tell it otherwise.

Sharing on a team

Who can share which accounts, what happens when two teammates share the same tool with one channel, and what admins control.

​
Turning access off

  • Stop sharing an account to remove it from a channel. The account stays connected and keeps working in other chats.
  • Disconnect an account to remove it entirely, so Token can no longer use it anywhere.

​
Setting up does not bypass approvals

Sharing a tool decides what Token can reach. It does not decide what Token is allowed to do. Even after a tool is set up, sensitive actions still go through approvals. The two layers work together.
