Connectors overview

Connect your tools to Hadiq.io and get instant, permission-aware answers across all your data.

Connectors pull content from your tools into Hadiq.io’s search index. Once connected, Hadiq.io continuously syncs in the background so search results reflect your latest data — no manual refreshes needed.

How connectors work

Hadiq.io takes a pre-indexing approach: content is fetched, chunked, embedded, and stored in a hybrid search index before any query is made. When you ask a question, Hadiq.io searches across the full index and returns cited answers in milliseconds.

This is different from MCP connectors, which fetch live data at query time:

	Hadiq.io indexed connectors	MCP live query
Sync model	Continuous background sync	Fetches at query time
Speed	Instant	Depends on source API latency
Cross-source search	Yes, in a single query	No
Permission awareness	Yes	No
Works when source is slow	Yes	No

Set up a connector

1. Go to Admin > Connectors

   Open your Onyx instance and navigate to Admin Panel > Connectors.

2. Select a connector

   Find the tool you want to connect and click it to open the setup form.

3. Authenticate

   Depending on the connector, you’ll authorize via OAuth (you’ll be redirected to the source tool) or paste an API token or credentials directly.

4. Configure scope

   Narrow down what gets indexed — specific channels, spaces, repos, or projects. Leave the scope fields empty to index everything the credential can access.

5. Save and wait for indexing

   Click Save. Hadiq.io starts indexing immediately. Monitor progress on the connector’s status page under Admin > Connectors.

Permission syncing

Hadiq.io enforces the same access controls as the source system. When a user searches, they only see results from documents they have permission to access in the original tool.

For example, if a Google Drive file is restricted to the Finance team, only Finance team members will see it in Hadiq.io search results — even if the connector was set up by an admin with broader access.

Hadiq.io reads access control lists (ACLs) from each source and maps them to Hadiq.io users automatically. No manual permission configuration is needed.

Automatic per-document permission sync is available on the Enterprise plan and covers: Confluence, Jira, GitHub, Google Drive, Gmail, Slack, Salesforce, and SharePoint.

On non-Enterprise plans, you can still restrict what gets indexed by scoping the connector to specific channels, spaces, or projects. This controls what content enters the index, but per-document ACL syncing is not applied.
