Microsoft Teams, Slack, Google, Raycast, and other connections
Beyond connecting social accounts, Styrar supports a few other kinds of connections: signing in with an existing Google or Microsoft account, authorizing third-party tools like Raycast to act on your behalf, and (soon) running Styrar from inside your team chat. This article covers all of them in one place.
Signing in with Google or Microsoft
On the Sign in and Sign up pages, you can continue with an existing Google or Microsoft account instead of creating a password. Styrar uses the provider's standard sign-in screen, so your Styrar account is never given your Google or Microsoft password.
The first time you use this, Styrar creates (or matches) your account using the email address the provider shares. After that, the continue with Google or continue with Microsoft button on the login page remembers it was your most recent sign-in method, so returning is one click.
If your team uses Google or Microsoft for everything else, this is usually the simplest way to log in and avoids managing another password.
Raycast and other connected apps
Raycast lets you create short links and search your link library without opening the dashboard. Install the Styrar Raycast extension, run a command like Create Short Link or Search Links, and Raycast opens the Styrar consent screen in your browser the first time. Once approved, it can act on your behalf using a scoped access token rather than your full login.
Raycast is one example of a connected app. The same pattern also covers AI assistants you authorize from Styrar. See API keys and connected apps for how to review, manage, and revoke anything you've authorized from Settings → Connected apps.
Telegram bot (live)
The Telegram bot is live. Link a chat to a personal or company workspace from Settings → Integrations or /chat-connect, then use guided menus for drafts, links, and workspace actions. The same @StyrarBot also helps connect Telegram channels for publishing. See Telegram bot and channels for the full workflow.
Other chat bots (coming soon)
Discord, Microsoft Teams, Slack, and Google Chat bots appear under Settings → Integrations with a Coming soon badge for general users. Cloud storage import, calendar sync, and WhatsApp are also marked coming soon until they launch publicly.
Once available, linking a chat bot will work similarly to Telegram: authorize Styrar from inside the chat product, choose the workspace it should use, and run actions from that conversation.
Keeping connections secure
- Only authorize tools you recognize and intend to use; review Settings → Connected apps periodically and revoke anything you no longer use.
- If you leave a team or change roles, ask an admin to review connected apps tied to shared company workspaces.
- Sign in with Google or Microsoft is tied to the email address your provider account uses, keep that email account secure since it can be used to access Styrar.
