Connected Apps
Lovelace works best when it can meet your team where work already happens. Use this page to find the right guide for connecting an outside app or service.
Choose What You Want To Connect
Start with the Lovelace product you are using, then open the guide for the app or service you want to connect.
| Lovelace product | Guides |
|---|---|
| Ada | Connect Ada to apps, Slack, Linear, GitHub, Discord, Email |
| Ada CLI | Connect editors, Use Ada CLI in CI/CD |
| Lattice Cloud | Use OpenAI-compatible clients, Use your own computer |
| MCP | Connect clients, Use tools, Use resources |
| Editor Extensions | Use Neovim |
If a supported connection is missing from this table, the portal docs need a user-facing setup guide for it.
What A Good Setup Guide Should Do
A setup guide should help you finish a real task, not explain Lovelace internals.
It should tell you:
- whether the guide is for you
- what access you need before you start
- what the outside app will ask you to approve
- what changes after you approve it
- what to do immediately after setup
- where to review or turn off the connection later
- what happens to your Lovelace history if you turn it off
- how to fix the most common problems
You should not need source code, internal runbooks, or architecture docs to get a supported connection working.
What To Check Before You Approve
Before approving any outside app connection:
- Confirm the Lovelace workspace is the one your team uses.
- Confirm the outside workspace, team, repository, or account is the right one.
- Read what the outside app says Lovelace will be allowed to do.
- Stop if the approval screen asks for something that does not match the guide.
For Ada pages, the guide should explain approval screens in everyday language. You should not need to understand technical terms to decide whether to continue.
After Setup
A guide should give you one visible first check. Examples:
- Ada appears in Slack and answers a direct message.
- A command works from the CLI.
- A client can send a request to Lattice Cloud.
- An editor extension can sign in and show account state.
If the guide does not tell you what success looks like, the guide needs more detail.
Turning A Connection Off
Turning a connection off usually stops Lovelace from using that outside app. It does not always delete work that already belongs to your Lovelace account.
Use the guide for the app you connected. It should say:
- where the off switch is
- who can use it
- what stops immediately
- what stays available in Lovelace
- how to connect the app again later
