Connections Overview
Introduction
The Connections section is where you connect Duvo to the external services and tools your assignments need to complete their tasks. Before an assignment can access systems like Gmail, Microsoft Outlook, Google Sheets, or your CRM, you must first enable those connections. This gives your assignments the ability to read data, perform actions, and automate workflows across all your essential business platforms.
How Connections Work
Connections in DUVO are built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Whether you're using a standard connection like Gmail or Google Sheets, or connecting your own custom connection, they're all MCP servers under the hood.
Connections and users
Connections are configured per user. Each user needs to connect the connections they want their assignments to use, using their own logins. This ensures that:
Assignments act on your behalf using your permissions and access levels
Security is maintained through your existing authentication
Actions taken by assignments are logged under your user account
Each team member can customize which connections they need
Connection Types
Duvo offers 2 connection types
Standard Connections: Pre-built connections to popular business tools like Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and other common platforms. These are ready to connect with just a few clicks.
Custom Connections: These allow you to connect Duvo to systems that aren't covered by a Duvo Standard Connection. Details on how to build a custom connection for Duvo can be found in Building Custom Connections.
Available Connections
The Available Connections section displays all the pre-built connections that Duvo provides and maintains for popular business tools. Browse through categories like Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace to find the services you need. Each connection card shows the service name, icon, a brief description of its capabilities. Click the "Connect" button on any connection to authenticate and enable it for your assignments, or click "More Information" to learn about what actions that connection supports before connecting. Use the search bar in the top right to quickly find specific connections.
