Introduction

Sana AI integrations play a crucial role in enhancing the functionality of our AI assistant by enabling it to access, read, and index data from various external systems. These integrations allow Sana AI to deliver precise and contextually relevant responses based on the data it can access. Sana AI provides three types of integrations: private, shared, and centralized. These are designed to enhance team collaboration by offering customized access to external systems.

Private Integrations

Private integrations in Sana AI are designed to cater to individual users by allowing them to connect their personal accounts from external services like Google Drive, SharePoint, or Outlook Calendar. This setup ensures that the data Sana AI interacts with is exclusively the data accessible to that specific user under their account permissions. Here are some key features and benefits of private integrations:

  • User-specific Insights: Since the integration is linked to an individual's account, the insights and data retrieved are uniquely relevant to that user, making Sana AI a highly personalized assistant.

  • Security and Privacy: By adhering to the permissions associated with the user's account, private integrations ensure that data privacy is maintained. Sana AI accesses only the data that the user is authorized to view, preventing any unauthorized data exposure.

Shared Integrations

Shared integrations are set up to provide access to a common set of data across multiple users within an organization. These are typically configured by administrators who determine the scope of data accessibility based on team or organizational requirements.

Here are some important aspects of shared integrations:

  • Collaboration: Shared integrations facilitate access to common data sources such as company-wide Google Drive folders or SharePoint sites, which are essential for collaborative work environments.

  • Admin Control: Administrators have the ability to define and adjust who can access the shared data, ensuring that only authorized personnel have access to sensitive or relevant information. Selecting to share with the full workspace or specific collections.

  • Efficiency and Consistency: By providing multiple users access to the same data sets, shared integrations ensure that everyone is on the same page, which is crucial for maintaining consistency in collaborative tasks and decision-making processes.

Centralized Integrations

Centralized integrations, on the other hand, are set up to provide access to a common set of data across multiple users within an organization, while still adhering to underlying permissions. These are also configured by administrators who determine the scope of data accessibility based on team or organizational requirements.

Here are some important aspects of centralized integrations:

  • Collaboration: Shared integrations facilitate access to common data sources such as company-wide Google Drive folders or SharePoint sites, which are essential for collaborative work environments.

  • Security and Privacy: By adhering to the permissions associated with the user's account, centralized integrations ensure that data privacy is maintained. Sana AI accesses only the data that the user is authorized to view, preventing any unauthorized data exposure.

  • Efficiency and Consistency: By providing multiple users access to the same data sets, centralized integrations ensure that everyone is on the same page, which is crucial for maintaining consistency in collaborative tasks and decision-making processes.

All files from integrations are re-synced every 24 hours to ensure that the most up-to-date information is available.
