Connections
A connection is your own authenticated account in another system — your Jira, your Drive, your GitHub. Connect it once and both My Studio and Flow can use it.
Connecting
Open Connections → Add Connection, pick the system, and sign in.
Most connections use OAuth, so you authorise in the provider's own login screen and work.studio never sees your password. Some use an API key instead, which you paste once and can rotate at any time.
Credentials are scoped to you. Connecting Jira gives you access to what your Jira account can see — never more.
Connecting from a conversation
You don't have to set connections up in advance.
When the assistant needs a system you haven't connected, it asks in the chat and hands you the sign-in there. Once you're back, it picks up where it left off. If you already have a suitable account connected, it uses it without asking at all.
Which systems to connect first
How projects use them
Connecting an account makes it available. A project then records where its own things live — which tracker holds its tickets, which Drive folder holds its documents.
Usually you never set that up by hand:
- One obvious candidate — if you have exactly one connected system that fits, the project uses it and tells you which.
- More than one — if two of your accounts could serve the same purpose, you're asked which, because guessing would put your documents somewhere you didn't choose.
- None — you're told what would work, and nothing is written in the meantime.
Where your content actually lives
Documents the assistant creates are written into your Drive or SharePoint, not stored here. work.studio is not the system of record for your team's content — if you stopped using it tomorrow, every document would still be exactly where your team already looks for it.
When a connection breaks
Revoking access in the provider, or an expired credential, marks the connection disconnected rather than silently failing.
Projects that depended on it say so specifically — "reconnect SharePoint" — instead of surfacing an opaque error from inside whatever you were trying to do.
