What are connectors in Gamma and how do they work?

Learn about connectors in Gamma and the difference between inbound and outbound connectors.

Gamma works with the tools you already use, in two directions. Both are called "connectors," so it helps to know which one you need.

  • Inbound connectors: these connect your other tools into Gamma, so Gamma's AI agent can use their data as context while you generate or edit. You work inside Gamma.

  • Outbound connectors: these connect Gamma into other tools, so you can pull context from your Gamma workspace into other tools and create gammas from inside those tools (e.g. ChatGPT, Claude, Glean, Atlassian) or automate creation through platforms like Zapier. You work outside Gamma.

🔹Note: "inbound" and "outbound" are how we describe the two directions in docs to avoid confusion. The product UI calls both simply "connectors."
