Connectors

A lot of AR work happens outside Tabs: in your inbox, in Slack threads, in trackers built in spreadsheets. Connectors let Tempo read and write those tools, so a routine doesn’t stop where Tabs ends.

Available connectors

• Gmail. Read and send email from your inbox.
• Google Sheets. Read and update spreadsheets, like a collections tracker.
• Slack. Read channels and messages, and post updates.

More connectors are on the way. Tell your Tabs team which tools your AR work depends on.

How connections work

Each connector is connected by you, with your own account. Tempo sees what you can see in that tool, and only your chats and routines use your connections.

Anything Tempo writes to a connected tool, like sending an email, updating a sheet, or posting to Slack, needs your approval first. See Approvals.

You can turn off any tool you don’t want Tempo to use, and disconnect a connector at any time. Routines that depend on a disconnected tool can’t finish the steps that need it.

Email from Tabs vs. your inbox

Tabs already sends invoices and reminders from your billing address, and inbound replies are stored on the customer. Tempo can read that history without any connector. Connecting Gmail adds your personal inbox, so Tempo can find and send email you handle yourself.
