Connect Apps
Connect Codex to 1000+ apps. Actually send emails, create issues, post messages - not just generate text about it.
Quick Start
Step 1: Install the Plugin
/plugin install composio-toolrouter
Step 2: Run Setup
/composio-toolrouter:setup
This will:
- Ask for your free API key (get one at platform.composio.dev)
- Configure Codex's connection to 1000+ apps
- Take about 60 seconds
Step 3: Try It!
After setup, restart Codex and try:
Send me a test email at YOUR_EMAIL@example.com
If it works, you're connected!
What You Can Do
| Ask Codex to... | What happens |
|---|
| "Send email to sarah@acme.com about the launch" | Actually sends the email |
| "Create GitHub issue: fix login bug" | Creates the issue |
| "Post to Slack #general: deploy complete" | Posts the message |
| "Add meeting notes to Notion" | Adds to Notion |
Supported Apps
Email: Gmail, Outlook, SendGrid
Chat: Slack, Discord, Teams, Telegram
Dev: GitHub, GitLab, Jira, Linear
Docs: Notion, Google Docs, Confluence
Data: Sheets, Airtable, PostgreSQL
And 1000+ more...
How It Works
- You ask Codex to do something
- Composio Tool Router finds the right tool
- First time? You'll authorize via OAuth (one-time)
- Action executes and returns result
Troubleshooting
- "Plugin not found" → Make sure you ran
/plugin install composio-toolrouter
- "Need to authorize" → Click the OAuth link Codex provides, then say "done"
- Action failed → Check you have permissions in the target app
