Connectors
Connectors bring your external services into SweetHive so their content can be shared into contexts with the same group-based visibility as everything else. Open the hub from My SweetHive → Connectors or the Connectors item in the icon rail.
Available today
- Gmail — browse your inbox (read-only) and share an email into a context as a rich card.
- Google Calendar — browse your upcoming events (read-only) and share an event into a context.
- Google Drive — browse your files (read-only) and share a file card into a context. Drive shares the same Google connection as Gmail and Calendar.
More connectors — Outlook, Dropbox, OneDrive, Slack, Telegram, Trello, Asana, Jira, GitHub — are on the roadmap and appear in the hub as coming soon.
Connect Google
- Open Connectors → Gmail (or Google Drive).
- Choose Connect — a Google consent window opens; approve the read-only scopes.
- Your mail / events / files appear in the connector page, read-only.
Privacy by design:
- Access is read-only — SweetHive never sends mail, creates events or modifies files on your behalf.
- Your Google tokens are stored server-side only and never reach the browser.
- Disconnect at any time from the connector page; access stops immediately.
- If a new capability is added to the Google connector (as Drive was), you'll simply be asked to reconnect once to grant the extra read scope.
Share into a context
Every mail, event or file in a connector has a Share action:
- Choose Share on the item.
- Pick the hive → context → groups in the share dialog.
- Send — the item lands in the context feed as a rich card (subject/sender for mail, title/time for events, name/type for files), visible only to the groups you targeted.
This is the bridge between your personal tools and your team's contexts: instead of forwarding an email, you place it where it belongs.
