Frequently asked questions

Connecting your email, calendar and other accounts

Which accounts you can connect, how the connection works, and how to disconnect.

What you can connect

You can connect Google Workspace for Gmail and Google Calendar, or Microsoft 365 for Outlook mail and calendar. Online sellers can also connect Shopify and Amazon. Orin works with a connected account directly, which is faster and more reliable than using the website in a browser.

You sign in on their page

When you connect an account, you sign in on Google’s, Microsoft’s, or the other service’s own page. That service then gives Orin permission to help. Orin never sees or stores the password for a connected account.

What Orin uses it for

Orin uses your mail and calendar only to do what you ask, such as finding or organizing email, drafting or sending a message, checking your availability, or creating and updating events. The access Orin receives is encrypted when it is stored.

Disconnecting

You can disconnect an account at any time from Workspace in Orin, or from your Google or Microsoft account settings. Disconnecting Google deletes the access Orin had stored and asks Google to revoke it.
