Integration Overview
KnowStack integrates with multiple external platforms to collect knowledge from where your team already works. Data sources follow the same pattern: Connect, Select, Fetch, then include in KB generation. Two integrations run the other way, each with its own page below: the Claude connector lets Claude read and update your knowledge bases, and lead webhooks send each new chat lead to your CRM. Customer chat channels (website chat, Messenger and Instagram) have their own sections.
| Integration | Connection Method | What It Collects |
|---|---|---|
| Gmail | OAuth 2.0 | Email messages with sender, subject, body, and labels |
| IMAP Email | Server credentials | Email messages from any IMAP-compatible provider |
| Slack | OAuth 2.0 | Channel messages including threaded replies |
| Telegram | Phone verification | Chat messages from private chats, groups, and channels |
| Google Drive | Google sign-in, per import | Copies of the files you pick: Docs, Sheets, PDFs, Office files, images and audio |
| Website Crawl | URL input | Page content from public websites |
| Document Upload | File upload | Text from PDF, DOCX, XLSX, TXT, CSV and image files |
| Meeting Notes | File upload | Transcript text from PDF, DOCX, and TXT files |
| Facebook Pages and Instagram | Facebook login | Customer messages to answer; not used as a knowledge source |
Common Integration Workflow
- Connect -- Authenticate with the external service (OAuth, credentials, or file upload)
- Select -- Choose which items to include (specific email accounts, Slack channels, Telegram chats, etc.)
- Fetch -- Pull data from the selected items into KnowStack
- Generate -- Include the fetched data in your next KB generation
All integrations support incremental fetching. After the first fetch, subsequent fetches only retrieve new data, making ongoing collection fast and efficient.
Integration Requirements
Collecting data, including document and meeting uploads, requires a Professional plan or higher, or the free trial. The Starter plan can't add data. The Claude connector, lead webhooks, website chat and Messenger and Instagram replies are included on Business, Enterprise and the free trial.
