This video shows how to connect your first work app to Elaichi, on the real screens, with Notion as the example. You connect an app once, and your AI client can use it.
How do you connect your first work app to Elaichi?
The video follows one connection from start to finish. The written guide has the longer detail where it helps.
- 0:00 Open Connections, select Add connection, pick the app and select Connect.
- 0:26 Choose OAuth 2.0 and approve the access in the app's own window.
- 0:41 See Connection added, the status Active and the connection's toolbox.
- 0:57 What to do if it will not connect.
What do you need before you start?
An Elaichi account, and an account for the app you want to connect. Here, that is Notion. The steps below are as of October 2026, and menus can change as the app updates.
How do you add a connection?
In Elaichi, choose Connections, then Add connection. Search for the app and select it. You can give the connection a label, or leave it empty. It stays private to you until you share it. Then select Connect.
How do you sign in?
Elaichi asks how you want to sign in. Choose OAuth 2.0. The app's own window opens and shows what Elaichi can do. For Notion, select the pages Elaichi may use, then select Allow access. OAuth is the standard way an app lets another service act for you without sharing your password (RFC 6749). Notion's own page picker lets you search for the pages and databases to share (Notion's authorization docs, checked October 2026).
How do you check that it works?
A few seconds later, Elaichi shows Connection added, and the status is Active. Now open Toolboxes. A toolbox for your connection is already there, under Automatic. If your AI client has All my tools, it can use the app right away.
What if it will not connect?
- If the sign-in window closes early, the connection shows Awaiting sign-in. Select Finish sign-in.
- If it shows Needs sign-in, select Reconnect.
- If an app is blocked for you, ask an administrator. Restrictions are managed under Governance.
For the written steps, who owns a connection and how to share it, read the Connect an account guide. The same connection works in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and other MCP clients, because the server follows the open Model Context Protocol specification.
