Plugins let Babbily use context from the apps you already work in. You can ask about email, files, calendars, docs, spreadsheets, projects, code, deployments, billing, and more.

Plugin capabilities

See what each plugin can help you find, reference, draft, or update.

Plugin deep dives

Use app-specific examples for email, files, docs, spreadsheets, chat, project, developer, support, and business tools.

Task recipes

Follow a plugin recipe for summarizing email and preparing next steps.

Canvas and artifacts

Send supported Canvas work to connected apps when artifact actions are available.

​
Available Plugins

​
Connect an app

1

Open Plugins

Go to Settings > Plugins.
2

Choose a Plugin

Select the app you want to connect.
3

Authorize access

Follow the hosted sign-in and authorization flow for that app. Babbily shows the Plugin as Connected when setup finishes.
4

Use it in chat

Ask in plain language, choose a connected app from the composer, mention it with @, or type / when plugin-specific commands are available.
After authorization, the Plugin may briefly show Waiting for authorization while the connection finishes.

​
Use several steps in one app

Babbily can use several tools from the same connected app in one reply. That makes multi-step requests in one app work better, such as finding an email thread, reading the latest message, and drafting a reply.

​
Approve actions before they run

Some Plugins can take action, not just read context. When Babbily prepares an action such as an email draft or workspace update, an approval card appears in the conversation right away. You don’t need to reload the page. Nothing runs until you choose Allow on the card. For an email draft, review the message and choose Send (or Create draft). Choose Cancel to decline. If the action includes editable content, review it before approving.
  • Approve on the card, not in chat. Typing “approved” or “yes” in the chat doesn’t approve anything. Babbily tells you that nothing has run and points you to the waiting card.
  • Keep chatting if you need to. You can continue the conversation and choose Allow on an earlier card later in the same chat.
  • Cards expire after 24 hours. An approval card or email draft expires 24 hours after it appears. When it expires, Babbily cancels it, nothing runs, and the card is removed. Ask again to create a new request.
  • Finish waiting cards before you edit or retry. A waiting card or draft counts as active work in the chat. Choose Allow, Send, or Cancel before you use Edit message or Retry. If you leave a card unanswered, those controls become available again when the card expires.
Deep Research works differently. It can read from Plugins you select, but it doesn’t send, create, or update anything in a connected app, and it doesn’t pause for approval. See Deep research and search. Canvas artifacts can also show plugin actions when Babbily can send the artifact to a connected app. Available destinations depend on the artifact type, your plugin permissions, and whether the plugin tools are ready.
Do not approve a plugin action unless you understand what it will do. Approval-required actions ask for your confirmation before they run.
In a chat that uses shared project instructions, Babbily may ask for approval even when a Plugin only reads information. Review the app and requested access before choosing Allow.

​
After you approve an action

Babbily shows how the action ended. These examples use Gmail; Babbily shows the name of the Plugin you used.

​
Disconnect an app

Use Settings > Plugins to disconnect apps where controls are available. If you do not see a disconnect option, revoke access from the connected app’s own settings and contact support if you still need help. Removing plugin access does not delete content inside the connected app. Deleting a chat in Babbily doesn’t delete content already sent to a connected app either. Remove that content in the app itself.
