Coda

Connect Coda and your assistant can work with your docs and tables — searching docs, inspecting schemas, and reading or updating rows — so your Coda data feeds summaries, lookups, and updates without leaving Town.

What’s included

With Coda connected, your assistant can:

Find your data — search docs and tables, and inspect doc and table schemas
Read data — read rows and formulas
Write data — create and update rows

Connecting Coda

Go to Integrations
Find Coda and click Connect
Paste a Coda API token (create one in Coda under Account settings → API settings)
Return to Town

Your assistant can only access the docs your Coda account can access. You can revoke access anytime from Coda account settings.
