Enabling Third-Party Search with Google Drive, Confluence, OneDrive, SharePoint, and Jira 🔍
Admins: Enabling Connected Apps
Before users can access this feature, an admin needs to turn it on for the whole workspace. If you're an admin, here's how to do it:
-
Click the arrow next to your profile picture in the top right corner of the screen.
-
Select Admin Console from the dropdown menu.
-
On the left-hand menu, click on Connected Apps.
-
Toggle the switch to ON.
A quick heads-up: Users will only see search results from third-party apps they already have permission to access.
Users: Using Universal Search
Once your admin has enabled this feature, you can connect your own accounts.
-
Click the arrow next to your profile picture in the top right corner.
-
Select Connected Apps from the dropdown menu.
-
Use the toggles to turn on the apps you want to search, like Google Drive, Confluence, SharePoint, or others. A pop-up will ask you to verify your accounts and grant permissions.
Once you've toggled them on, you're all set!
To search through your connected apps, just click the search icon at the top of your browser. You'll see results from your Haystack workspace and all your connected apps combined.
Keep in mind: You will only see results for content you have access to.
You're ready to find what you need faster than ever before!
