More apps, simpler to connect

2026-05-23 — v1.1.17

Connecting your apps just got faster. Google Calendar, Google Workspace, GitHub, HubSpot, Salesforce, and Slack now use the same managed connections layer, so they sign in once and stay reliably connected. There are also new starters for WHOOP and Reddit, a growing library of community-built connections, and clearer guidance the first time you set up a connection that needs credentials.

What changed:

• Connections: Calendar, Workspace, GitHub, HubSpot, Salesforce, and Slack now connect through the managed connections layer for faster setup and steadier sign-ins
• Connections: New starters for WHOOP and a curated set of community-built connections
• Connections: When a connection needs credentials, Runner now walks you through setup with a dedicated help conversation
• Local connections: Search across all available starters when adding a local connection
• Local connections: A broken local connection no longer blocks the rest of your session from starting
• Tools: Reddit tools are now available for the assistant to use
• Photos: Better handling of photos shared into Runner, including improved previews and downloads
• Privacy: Draft fields in action cards are now encrypted at rest
• Fixed action cards that could overlap the chat panel header
• Fixed action card "From" labels and improved the error shown when a connection is disconnected mid-send
• Fixed Gmail messages whose text bodies contained raw HTML — Runner now shows clean text
• Fixed Twitter drafts to reject invalid participant identifiers before sending
• Fixed local connection settings so only one row stays expanded at a time, and removed a redundant cancel button

Why it matters: A connection you have to keep re-authorizing isn't really connected. Moving the apps you use most onto the managed layer means they sign in once and stay that way — and when a setup does need your credentials, Runner now walks you through it instead of leaving you to guess.
