Tool
Give Inbox Agent the internal context it needs to draft well.
Give Inbox Agent access to the internal context it needs to write genuinely useful suggestions — not generic ones. By connecting tools, you let the agent reference your actual work when drafting replies and preparing meeting briefs.
Why tools matter#
Without tools, Inbox Agent can only work with what's in the message itself. With tools connected, it can draw on the full picture:
- Notion — reference docs, meeting notes, and internal wikis when drafting replies
- Linear — surface related issues, pull status updates, and propose creating new tickets
- Confluence — include relevant team documentation and runbooks in context
- And more from the shared tool catalog
The difference shows up immediately. An email about a bug becomes a draft reply that already references the open Linear issue. A meeting brief includes the Notion doc your team prepared last week.
Shared tool catalog#
Inbox Agent draws on the same tool catalog as your team agents, so a tool you already know from an agent behaves the same way here.
For the full list of available tools and how they work, see Tools overview.
How to connect a tool#
- Open Inbox Agent in the Runbear app.
- Navigate to Tools in the agent settings.
- Browse the tool catalog and select the tool you want to connect.
- Follow the authorization steps for that tool — most use OAuth or an API key.
- Once connected, Inbox Agent will use it automatically when preparing suggestions and briefs.
