What Are the Best Connectors and Integrations for Poke?

Q: What is the best connector for Poke?

Gmail is the strongest everyday connector for Poke, Slack is the strongest team connector, and Synorb is the strongest content-feed connector for current, source-grounded context.

Q: How do Poke integrations work?

Poke integrations can be connected through recipes that guide authorization and give the assistant a useful starting behavior.

Poke is a messaging-first assistant, so the best connectors are the ones that turn a short message into a useful, repeatable action: check an inbox, summarize a source, update a task, or send a reminder.

We ranked Poke connectors by everyday utility, recipe or setup friction, reliability, source quality, and permission clarity.
