Connect a service
Cofounded connects to the services you already run your business on. All connections are brokered through Nango using standard OAuth 2.0 flows. We never see your provider passwords — only the access tokens you explicitly grant.
How to connect
- Open the Cofounded application: app.cofoundedstudio.com
- Navigate to Settings → Connectors.
- Choose the service you want to connect (QuickBooks, Shopify, Google, Slack, etc.).
- You'll be redirected to the provider's OAuth consent screen. Review the scopes and approve.
- You're returned to Cofounded; the connection appears in your Connectors list with status "connected".
Reconnecting
If a connection's token expires or is revoked by the provider, the Connectors panel will show its status as "disconnected" or "error". To reconnect:
- Click the connector tile in Settings → Connectors.
- Click Reconnect; you'll be sent through OAuth again.
- Existing data and settings are preserved — only the access token is refreshed.
What we ask for
For each service, Cofounded requests the minimum scopes needed for the agent functionality you've enabled. Examples:
- QuickBooks:
com.intuit.quickbooks.accounting(read company info, accounts, transactions). - Shopify: read orders, products, customers, shop info.
- Google (Gmail / Calendar): read messages metadata, read upcoming events.
Cofounded does not write back to most providers without an explicit, in-band approval gate that surfaces in the dashboard for your review before any mutating action runs.
