It can look up clients, draft proposals and invoices, log time, check your calendar and read your messages, and it can update records in clients, projects, tasks, expenses and workflows too. You stay in control. A workspace admin turns MCP on and chooses what each connection may do, and anything that sends, like an email or an invoice, waits for your approval in the app. MCP is included on every plan, and each call counts toward your plan's AI usage. - Works with Claude, ChatGPT and other MCP clients - Sends wait for your approval in the app - Create personal access tokens for clients that need one - Included on every plan once an admin turns it on Copy the server URL into your AI app, then see each connected app and the permissions it has.

Before anything changes it shows a card you can review and edit, and afterwards it tells you which record it touched. When it proposes many changes at once, you get one reviewable list with a row per item. Workspace AI is built into every workspace with nothing to set up: compose and rewrite messages, translate, and summarize. On Commander and Enterprise, AI can also draft a whole workflow for you to review before it runs. A workspace admin can turn on Auto-approve actions, which creates, updates and deletes records without asking. Sends to clients always ask first. AI use counts toward your plan's AI usage. - Review and edit the change before it applies - Compose, rewrite, translate and summarize - AI-drafted workflows on Commander and Enterprise Where to find it 1.

Replies now quote the original message, forwards keep their attachments, and drafts behave the way you expect. You can search mail more deeply, mark a conversation unread, and report spam to teach the inbox to treat a sender, or a whole domain, as junk. Where to find it 1.
