Geniusly works from the context your agency already has: the client email thread, the tracker, the scope document, the campaign data. Connect the accounts a task needs, then ask in Slack for the brief, the weekly report or the handoff.

How connections work
- You connect your own accounts from a private Slack DM with Geniusly ("Connect my Gmail"). Links are never posted in shared channels.
- Connecting one app doesn't authorize the others.
- Reads by default. Connected apps are used read-only. The exceptions are spelled out: Google Sheets edits only when you ask, and Slack messages are posted only after your approval.
- Your phone, too. After you start in Slack, link WhatsApp or text, including iMessage and SMS, for short follow-ups. Files and approvals stay in Slack.
Popular combinations for agencies
- Weekly client report: Google Sheets + Google Ads + Gmail → weekly client report
- Pre-call brief: Gmail + Google Drive → client brief template
- Account handoff: Google Drive + Linear + Gmail → client handoff checklist
- Dev agency update: GitHub + Linear → client status update
