# How do my connections work in Klipy?

> Connect Gmail, Outlook, WhatsApp, LinkedIn, Telegram, and your meeting calendar to Klipy in minutes. No passwords — OAuth only.

Klipy connects to email, calendar, WhatsApp, LinkedIn, Telegram, meeting recordings, and the public API through OAuth, no passwords stored, typically in under two minutes per channel. Connecting only grants access; Klipy's always-on AI is what runs automatically afterward, capturing context and drafting follow-ups from what each channel sends in.

<Note>
  Connect = access. [Always-on AI](/docs/guides/background/overview) is what runs automatically after.

## What can I connect to Klipy, and what does each connection unlock?

Your connections in Klipy span six kinds of channels, and each one feeds a different part of the same CRM.

| Channel                | What Klipy captures                                     | What it unlocks                                                           |
| ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Email and calendar** | Gmail or Outlook threads, invites, and meeting links    | Contact graph, conversation history, and calendar-aware meeting prep      |
| **WhatsApp**           | Business conversations you authorize                    | Threads in one place with the same intelligence pipeline as email         |
| **LinkedIn**           | LinkedIn messages via your connected account            | Social selling context next to email and meetings                         |
| **Telegram**           | Telegram chats you connect                              | Messaging signal alongside the rest of your pipeline                      |
| **Notetaker**          | Recordings and transcripts from supported meeting links | Structured notes and follow-on actions tied to deals                      |
| **Public API**         | People, companies, and interactions from your stack     | The same CRM records Klipy uses in the app, kept in sync programmatically |

Email and calendar is the connection most people start with, since it feeds the contact graph that the other Klipy connections build on top of.

## Is connecting a channel to Klipy secure?

Every connection in Klipy uses OAuth, not a stored password. When you connect Gmail, Outlook, WhatsApp, LinkedIn, Telegram, or the Notetaker, Klipy is granted access through the provider's own authorization screen, the same permission flow you'd see connecting any app to your Google or Microsoft account. Klipy never asks for your email or messaging password directly, and the whole process takes under two minutes per channel.

Connecting is only the first step, and it only grants access. What Klipy's always-on AI does with that access, capturing intelligence, drafting follow-ups, and tracking commitments, happens automatically afterward and is covered in [Always-on AI](/docs/guides/background/overview).
