If you are tired of the constant tab toggling and context switching to get work done across your SaaS apps, we can help. Connecting your must-have business apps with Glances ensures your team’s daily workflows are streamlined and simpler. Even if you only connect 2 platforms with Glances, such as QuickBooks and monday.com, you can save hours of time per week and make fewer data entry mistakes using Actions.

In today’s article, we’ll cover all things app connections and provide answers for what you need to know. And before you know it, you'll be viewing and doing more with your data while working anywhere online (just like the animation below).

How to connect your apps with Glances

If you are new to Glances, getting your favorite apps connected begins after initiating a free trial (no credit card required). You’ll be taken through some prompts to search and add your favorite business apps, then connect them with a few easy steps. For most apps, only the minimally-required information is needed to securely connect with Glances, such as your login credentials per platform.

Here are some helpful support articles for connecting an app, editing a Glance, editing My Daily Glances, and sharing an app connection. You can also learn more about Glances and data security.

What does Quick Connect vs. Guided Connect mean?

As you go through the app connection process, you may see apps labeled as Quick Connect or Guided Connect. Quick Connect apps are those that can be securely added on your own right now, while Guided Connect apps are those that need some initial work with our team before they can be live, such as:

  • Customization
  • Additional coding to display search results or use Actions
  • Working with the app's API to make data available

How to request new apps for Glances

If an app your team uses is not yet listed when you search Glances, you can send us your app requests. The good news is, any SaaS app that has an API can be connected with Glances. Even if your team uses an internal app or legacy system exclusive to your company, we can help create an API to get that data also visible within Glances. Imagine: your private app data and SaaS app data finally together in one convenient view!
