- Select the specific resources you want to sync (for example, individual GitHub repositories or Confluence spaces).
- Falconer begins syncing immediately. Initial indexing typically completes within minutes.
Supported sources
See which integrations are available for your plan on the pricing page.
| Source | What’s synced | Capabilities |
|---|---|---|
| Slack | No active syncing. Users trigger actions from Slack. | Ask Falcon questions directly in Slack, create docs from conversations, generate Linear tickets from threads. |
| GitHub | Repositories, code files, PRs. | Ask questions about your codebase, generate docs from code, detect when code changes affect documentation. |
| Linear | Issues, projects, milestones. | Search tasks alongside code and docs, generate changelogs from completed work, create issues from Slack. |
Additional sources
The following sources are available on Custom plans. Contact support@falconer.com to learn more.
Google Docs
Google Docs offers two connection methods:
- Personal connection — Connect your individual Google account. Falconer can access docs you’ve created or opened.
- Workspace connection — A Google Workspace admin connects the entire organization. This provides broader access but requires additional configuration in Google Cloud Console.
- Invite Falconer to your drive — Get more granular control by sharing specific files or folders with a Falconer email address.
Confluence
Select which Confluence spaces to sync to Falconer after connecting.
Zendesk
- Syncs help center articles and support content.
- Connected articles are searchable alongside your internal documentation.
Notion
Connect your Notion workspace and select which pages to sync or import.
Connection states
Each source card on the Integrations page shows a button that reflects its current state. A green dot on a source card means it’s actively connected and syncing. Sources also display a “Last synced” timestamp so you can confirm data is up to date.
| Button | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Connect / Install | The source isn’t connected yet. Click to start the authorization flow. Slack shows “Install” instead of “Connect.” |
| Configure | The source is connected and has additional settings. Click to manage which repositories, spaces, or other resources are synced (used by GitHub, Confluence, and Zendesk). |
| Reconnect | The source is connected but uses the default action. Click to re-authorize if your token expired or permissions changed (used by Linear and Notion). |
| Disconnect | The source is connected and can be removed. Click to revoke access and uninstall (used by Slack). |
| Instructions | The source requires manual setup outside Falconer. Click to view step-by-step configuration instructions (used by Google Drive’s targeted connection). |
