Six connectors ship natively today: Freshdesk, Salesforce, ServiceNow, Gmail, Google Drive, and ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus. Each is authorized once and scoped for exactly what it reads and writes.

Sainapse Connect is the integration layer underneath every workflow: one authenticated connection per system, a read surface and a write surface scoped per connector, no middleware for your team to maintain and no new inbox to check. Most AI support tools deflect inside a single helpdesk. Sainapse reads tickets, accounts, and knowledge from the systems you run today, then writes decisions back into the same record: a ticket updates in Freshdesk, a case updates in Salesforce, an incident updates in ServiceNow. Nobody logs into a separate tool to see what happened. How it works ## One authorization model, two surfaces per connector ### Authorize once Each connector authenticates through the provider's own OAuth flow or a scoped API key. An admin approves it once, and Sainapse never asks an individual end user to log in separately. ### Read surface Sainapse reads tickets, accounts, contacts, and knowledge from the connected system on a live sync, not a one-time import, so context stays current as your team keeps working. ### Write surface Where a connector supports it, Sainapse writes the decided action back into the same record: a reply, a field update, a status change. It writes idempotently, so a retried write never creates a duplicate. Capability classes ## Three ways an AI tool sits next to your systems Vendors sell one of three shapes here: a single-helpdesk AI, generic integration glue you build yourself, or a native connector layer built to read and write structured records. Only the third one closes the loop. | | Built-in helpdesk AI | iPaaS / integration glue | Sainapse native connectors | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | What it touches | One helpdesk's own data | Whatever flow you build and maintain | Six named systems, read and write, out of the box | | Setup | None; it's built in. | Custom flows per integration, engineering time | Provider OAuth, admin-approved once per connector | | Who maintains it | The vendor | Your team, indefinitely | Sainapse, versioned per connector | | What breaks first | Nothing; it can't see other systems. | The flow, when an upstream field or API changes | Nothing customer-facing; Sainapse owns the adapter. | ## Every connector, and its real status - **Freshdesk**: Full read and write: tickets, contacts, companies, knowledge. Native Freshworks Marketplace app, zero-touch install. - **Salesforce**: Full read and write via an unlisted managed package; one-time admin pre-authorization, no end-user OAuth consent. - **ServiceNow**: Full read and write via a customer-installed scoped app; incidents, changes, requests, problems; CMDB read-only. - **Gmail**: Live correspondence channel. Inbound email becomes a ticket, replies send from the connected inbox, and contacts populate automatically. - **Google Drive**: Reads shared drives and folders into the knowledge base; documents, spreadsheets, and presentations stay synced as you update them. - **ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus**: Full read and write across Cloud and on-premises editions: tickets, requests, statuses, and the resolution note back into the desk. Beyond the natives ## Every other system, through scoped integrations. The six native connectors cover the desks, CRMs, inboxes, and drives most service and document work runs on. The rest of your estate reaches Sainapse through a scoped integration built for your deployment, using the same architecture: authorized once, scoped to exactly what it reads and writes. Sainapse reaches SAP and Oracle through scoped integrations built for your deployment. It's the pattern running in production behind Avery Dennison's 110,000 orders/week in Oracle EBS and CPQ. Tell us the systems in your estate, and the scoping conversation starts there. ## Common questions ### Does Sainapse connect natively to our ERP? Sainapse reaches SAP and Oracle through scoped integrations built for your deployment: the pattern running in production at Avery Dennison, whose orders land in Oracle EBS and CPQ. Tell us your ERP and the modules in scope, and the integration is built against those records. ### What does installing a connector actually authorize? Exactly the scopes the connector defines: read tickets, read knowledge, write replies, and so on. An admin approves them once. Sainapse never asks an individual end user to log in or consent separately, and every scope is visible before you approve it. ### Where does our data go once a connector reads it? It stays inside the deployment boundary you configure. Sainapse does not train shared models on customer data, and every field a connector reads or writes is logged with a source citation you can audit later. ### What counts as a native connector here? A versioned adapter Sainapse builds and maintains, with a read surface and a write surface scoped per system, so a decision becomes a real record change inside that system, idempotently. Anything outside the six is reached the same way, through a scoped integration built for your deployment.
