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 OAuth pattern also covers MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude. See API keys and connected apps for how to review, manage, and revoke anything you've authorized from Settings → Connected apps.
Chat bots (coming soon)
Styrar is adding bots for Microsoft Teams, Slack, and Google Chat so you can create posts, upload media, and check connected accounts directly from a team chat, without opening the dashboard. These appear under Settings → Integrations with a Coming soon badge today.
Once available, linking a chat bot will work similarly to other connections: you'll authorize Styrar from inside Teams, Slack, or Google Chat, choose the workspace it should use, and it will be ready to use 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.
