What can amber do in other systems?

Actions are the difference between an answer and a completed job. More than 50 systems connect in a few clicks – after that, amber files, sends and enters things straight from the chat.

In 3 steps

Connect: In the left sidebar under Connectors → Actions, connect once to the actions your administrator has released.
Enable them in the chat: In the chat, turn on actions via the menu bar, then choose which actions amber may use for this request.
Phrase the job: State the task and the goal in one sentence. Example: "Summarise the last board meeting and file the result in SharePoint in the 'Board Meeting Q2' folder."

Read or act

The difference between actions and data sources

	Data source	Action
amber may	only read	read and write
You get	an answer	a finished result
Example	"What does our travel policy say?"	"File the summary in SharePoint."
Set up under	Data sources	Settings → Connectors → Apps

This is exactly where it differs from the normal chat: The chat gives you a text that you then copy, format and file yourself.

→ An action takes care of that last part too.

What's possible

Area	Examples
Office Actions	send emails, schedule meetings, write Teams messages, manage files and tasks
Other systems	Slack, Jira, GitHub, Notion, HubSpot and many more

Good to know

amber asks before it acts. The first time you use an action you choose between Always ask, Always allow and Always deny. For anything that writes, sends or files, Always ask is the right setting – at least to begin with.
Reading and writing are separate. Every action can be set to read-only. If you only want to evaluate something, you don't need write access.
They aren't called actions everywhere yet. Until August 2026 they ran under MCP – you'll still find that term in older articles. It means the same thing.
What you can't see, your administrator hasn't released yet. Actions are configured centrally; you then connect once with your own credentials.
