Connectors

To use GoSearch effectively throughout your organization, you should set up connectors. 

What Are Connectors?

Connectors in GoSearch allow you to connect external tools and data sources, bringing all your personal and workspace data into one unified search experience.

• Each connector instance links to a specific service and depending on the application, can be configured to have an API call limit, to include specific folders, and include data starting from a specified date. 
• There are two types of connectors:
  • Workplace Connectors are set up by admins to connect company-wide tools and shared data.
  • Personal Connectors are activated individually by users to search private, account-specific data.
• Connectors ensure GoSearch can display individual and personal data that is relevant and up-to-date from all your applications.

How Connectors Work

Connectors allow data from other tools and platforms to be accessible to GoSearch, which then securely accesses, searches, and displays information from those tools.

With connectors added, GoSearch can return results from your everyday apps directly in your search results.

How to set up Connectors 

To Start

• Admins should have already set up their Teams or Slack integrations and then proceed to activate key workspace connectors (like Google Calendar, Jira, or Notion) and enable personal connectors (like Gmail). This ensures team-wide access and a seamless onboarding experience.
• Then, individual users should
  • Install the GoSearch browser extension.
  • Connect their own personal data connectors for a fully personalized search experience.

This layered setup ensures both organization-wide visibility and individual productivity—all in one place.

Activating Workspace Connectors

Note: Only admins can activate workspace connectors for their entire workspace.

1. From your GoSearch dashboard, navigate to Manage connectors in the left-hand menu.
2. Select the Workspace Connectors tab.
   1. Here, you can view current connectors and the number of assets indexed, who they are available to, who connected them, and their current status for each. 
   2. You can also manage current connectors by clicking the ellipsis button on the right of each connector.
3. You can scroll down to Add new workspace connectors and add new connectors by clicking connect. To get a step-by-step walk through of how to connect a particular connector, visit Connectors.

Enabling Personal Connectors

Note: Only admins enable personal connectors for their entire workspace, which then should be activated by each individual user.

1. From your GoSearch dashboard, navigate to Manage connectors in the left-hand menu.
2. Select the Personal Connectors tab. 
3. Click the Configure button and a list of available personal connectors will appear.
4. Use the toggles next to each connector to enable or disable them for employees.
5. After making your selections, click Close to save and exit.

Your workspace connectors should now be set up and your team members should be able to activate personal connectors. If you need further assistance, please consult the GoSearch Help Center.
