Connection states
Section titled “Connection states”Each source card on the Integrations page shows a button that reflects its current state. A green dot on a source card means it’s actively connected and syncing. Sources also display a “Last synced” timestamp so you can confirm data is up to date.
| Button | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Connect / Install | The source isn’t connected yet. Click to start the authorization flow. Slack shows “Install” instead of “Connect.” |
| Configure | The source is connected and has additional settings. Click to manage which repositories, spaces, or other resources are synced (used by GitHub, Confluence, and Zendesk). |
| Reconnect | The source is connected but uses the default action. Click to re-authorize if your token expired or permissions changed (used by Linear and Notion). |
| Disconnect | The source is connected and can be removed. Click to revoke access and uninstall (used by Slack). |
| Instructions | The source requires manual setup outside Falconer. Click to view step-by-step configuration instructions (used by Google Drive’s targeted connection). |
