Integrations

Connections are how Sands does work in your tools. Each one uses the tool's own sign-in, works with the access you grant, and follows the same rules.

Projects, issues, worklogs and hours reports. Plans become epics and stories.

Linear

Teams, projects and issues. Plans become a project with milestones and issues.

Connecting

Connect from any of these places. They all open the same short connect step:

+ in the composer, then the tool.
Settings → Connectors.
The card Sands shows when a request needs a tool you have not connected. After you connect, Sands carries on with the request.
Send to in a plan, for project tools.

The connect step names what Sands will be able to do, then opens the tool's sign-in in a pop-up. Approve it and you are back in Sands. If the pop-up is blocked, Sands tells you and offers to try again.

Rules every connection follows

Read first: answers and plans are grounded in what Sands reads from your tool.
Your approval mode decides whether a change runs right away or waits for your OK.
Changes are read back after they run and reported as they landed, with a link.
Each change runs once, even when a request is retried.
Sands never acts on a project, ticket or channel it guessed at. If a name is unclear, it asks.
Tokens are stored encrypted and scoped to your account.

Expired connections

Tools sometimes expire access. When that happens mid-request, Sands shows one card asking you to reconnect, and the request picks up where it stopped without doing anything twice. In the + menu and in Settings, the tool shows Reconnect.

Disconnecting

Disconnect any tool from Settings → Connectors. Sands stops using it straight away. You can also revoke access from the tool's own settings.
