Integrations
Brainitive connects to the tools your team already uses. On Brainitive Cloud everything below is ready to use. On a self-hosted instance, some integrations need an OAuth app or a few environment variables first. Each page explains both.

After changing environment variables
Restart Brainitive so it reads the new values (with Docker: docker compose up -d). See Configuration for where the variables go.
