Brainfish Integrations: Embed Apps in Articles and Sync External Data Sources

Overview

Brainfish integrations let you:

• Embed third-party content directly inside an article (editor integrations).
• Connect and sync external knowledge sources into your Brainfish knowledge hub (data source integrations).

This article explains both integration types and how to use them.

Types of Integrations in Brainfish

1) Editor integrations (embeds inside articles)

Use editor integrations to add rich, interactive content from third-party tools (for example: Airtable, ClickUp, Figma, Google Drive) directly into a Brainfish article.

2) External data source integrations (sync content into your knowledge hub)

Use data source integrations when you want Brainfish to pull content from an external system (for example: Confluence or Google Drive) and keep it updated via sync.

Embed an Integration in an Article (Editor Integrations)

1. Open the article in the Brainfish editor.
2. Add an integration block using either method:
   • Type / to open the insert menu, or
   • Click the + button in the editor.
3. Select the desired integration from the list.
4. Follow any prompts to insert or link the external content.

Connect and Sync an External Data Source

1. In Brainfish, open the Knowledge dashboard.
2. Select Connect Data Source.
3. Choose the integration you want to connect (for example, Confluence or Google Drive).
4. Enter the required credentials.
5. Configure sync settings (including enabling Daily Sync for automatic updates).
6. Click + Add Source.

Tips

• Use editor integrations when you want to enrich a single article with embedded content.
• Use data source integrations when you want Brainfish to continuously sync and maintain content from another system.
