Connect
Connect Codex to any app using the [Composio CLI](https://docs.composio.dev/docs/cli). Stop generating text about what you could do actually do it from the shell.
When to Use This Skill
Use this skill when you need Codex to:
Send that email instead of drafting it
Create that issue instead of describing it
Post that message instead of suggesting it
Update that database instead of explaining how
What Changes
Without Connect With Connect
"Here's a draft email..." Sends the email
"You should create an issue..." Creates the issue
"Post this to Slack..." Posts it
"Add this to Notion..." Adds it
Supported Apps
1000+ integrations including:
Email: Gmail, Outlook, SendGrid
Chat: Slack, Discord, Teams, Telegram
Dev: GitHub, GitLab, Jira, Linear
Docs: Notion, Google Docs, Confluence
Data: Sheets, Airtable, PostgreSQL
CRM: HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive
Storage: Drive, Dropbox, S3
Social: Twitter, LinkedIn, Reddit
Setup
1. Install the Composio CLI
2. Log In
This opens a browser for authentication and lets you pick your default org and project. Use y to skip prompts in automated flows.
3. Link the Toolkits You Need
Each command walks through OAuth once, then the connection persists.
Done. Codex can now drive any connected app from the shell.
Core Workflow
1. Know the tool slug? → composio execute
2. Don't know the slug? → composio search
3. Need clarification on inputs? → composio execute get schema or dry run
4. Toolkit not connected? → composio link <toolkit and retry
5. Multiple steps needed? → composio run for workflows, composio proxy for raw API calls
Examples
Discover a Tool
Inspect Inputs Before Calling
Send an Email
Create a GitHub Issue
Post to Slack
Run Calls in Parallel
Chain Actions with composio run
Load reusable workflows from a file:
Raw API Access ( proxy )
When no dedicated tool exists, hit the authenticated API directly:
How It Works
1. You ask Codex to do something
2. Codex picks a slug via composio search or prior knowledge
3. CLI checks connection , prompts composio link if missing
4. Action executes against the real API and returns JSON to stdout
Configuration
Global flags:
log level <all trace debug info warning error fatal none
help for per command docs
Environment variables:
COMPOSIO API KEY auth credential (set for non interactive use)
COMPOSIO BASE URL custom API endpoint
COMPOSIO SESSION DIR override artifact storage
COMPOSIO DISABLE TELEMETRY=true opt out of telemetry
Type Safe SDK (Optional)
Generate typed client code when you want to call tools from an app rather than the shell:
Flags: o <dir , toolkits <list , compact , transpiled , type tools .
Troubleshooting
Not logged in → run composio login
Connection required for <toolkit → run composio link <toolkit
Unknown slug → composio search "<what you want " or composio tools list <toolkit
Bad inputs → composio execute <SLUG get schema then dry run
Action failed → check permissions in the target app
