Integrations
Connect your day, and the interview asks better questions.
Connect the tools you work in, and underway reads them before it asks you anything: the fix that took all afternoon, the call that overran, the payment that landed at four.
Four rules for every connection.
- 1. It shapes the questions, never the footage. Only you appear in an episode.
- 2. You see what it gathered and tick what each episode may use.
- 3. It can only look, never change anything. Keys are encrypted and deleted when you disconnect.
- 4. Every connection works on every plan, free included. The Series plan adds one-tap posting to YouTube, LinkedIn, TikTok, Instagram and X, how many people saw each post, your own podcast feed, and WhatsApp messages that underway can send first. On Founder you post yourself, with the words written for you.
What shipped
The work itself, so the interview asks why it mattered, not what it was.
GitHub
Your next episode knows what you shipped, without you writing it down.
GitHub
Your next episode knows what you shipped, without you writing it down.
HOW TO CONNECT
In the app: Account, Connections, Connect GitHub. Allow it to read. About twenty seconds.
HOW YOU USE IT
Nothing else to do once it's connected. Every hour it reads new commits and groups them, so thirty pushes become the five things that moved. You tick what the interview may use.
WHAT IT SEES
Commit messages and times, their repositories, and pull requests you opened or merged.
WHAT IT NEVER SEES
Your code. It reads messages, not diffs, and cannot change anything on your account.
WHY IT IS WORTH IT
A note says "worked on auth". The commits say the token refresh took all afternoon, which is a question, not a topic. Every commit is kept too, so months later you can ask when something shipped.
A local repository
The same, for a project that never leaves your machine.
A local repository
The same, for a project that never leaves your machine.
HOW TO CONNECT
Account, Connections, Open a folder, then pick the project. No account or key. Chrome and Edge only.
HOW YOU USE IT
It reads the commit log while the app is open, and catches up when you come back.
WHAT IT SEES
Commit messages and times from the repository's log.
WHAT IT NEVER SEES
Your files. Nothing in the folder leaves your machine.
WHY IT IS WORTH IT
The simplest connection there is. Commit messages are the outline of a build day.
Linear
The work that never becomes a commit.
Linear
The work that never becomes a commit.
HOW TO CONNECT
Paste a personal API key from Linear's settings. Read-only.
HOW YOU USE IT
Issues you closed today appear on today's list in the app, one line each.
WHAT IT SEES
Issues you closed or moved, their titles and projects.
WHAT IT NEVER SEES
Comments or other people's issues. It cannot write to Linear.
WHY IT IS WORTH IT
Closing the ticket that has been open since March is a moment. The issue says so; the commit does not.
Vercel
The day something actually went live.
Vercel
The day something actually went live.
HOW TO CONNECT
Paste an access token from Vercel. Read-only.
HOW YOU USE IT
Production deploys show on today's list, with a screenshot of the site after each, so the interview can ask what changed.
WHAT IT SEES
Production deployments, their times and the commit behind each.
WHAT IT NEVER SEES
Environment variables or logs. It cannot deploy or roll back.
WHY IT IS WORTH IT
Shipping and going live are different days. The day customers can see it is the one worth an episode.
Argos
Your own site, photographed once a day.
Argos
Your own site, photographed once a day.
HOW TO CONNECT
Make a free Argos project (choose no Git), paste its token and name the page to photograph. About two minutes. Read-only.
HOW YOU USE IT
When your site looks different, today's list shows the before and after under Site, and you tick which pages count.
WHAT IT SEES
Screenshots of the pages you name, and which of them changed since the day before.
WHAT IT NEVER SEES
Anything behind a login, or your site's code. It cannot change your site.
WHY IT IS WORTH IT
A new landing page is a decision you made in public. The day it went up is worth an episode, and the before is gone by the next morning.
Where episodes go
On the Series plan you post in one tap. On Founder the words are written for you and you post them yourself. Your episodes and channels stay yours.
YouTube
On Series, post an episode as a Short in one tap.

HOW TO CONNECT
Account, Connections, Connect YouTube. Sign in with Google and approve uploads to your channel.
HOW YOU USE IT
Press Post to YouTube on a finished episode. The title and description are written; edit them if you like. A whole season can go up in order into one playlist, a few a day, which is how episodes recorded in private come out.
WHAT IT SEES
Your channel name and the videos it uploaded.
WHAT IT NEVER SEES
Your other videos, comments or analytics. It uploads and makes playlists, nothing else.
WHY IT IS WORTH IT
Shorts are where strangers find a numbered series, and a playlist puts every episode where people already look.
TikTok
On Series, post an episode to TikTok in one tap, to everyone or just your followers.
TikTok
On Series, post an episode to TikTok in one tap, to everyone or just your followers.
HOW TO CONNECT

WHAT IT SEES
Your display name and the status of what it posted.
WHAT IT NEVER SEES
Your feed, messages or followers.
WHY IT IS WORTH IT
An episode is already portrait and captioned, the shape TikTok wants.
Instagram
On Series, post an episode as a Reel in one tap.
On Series, post an episode as a Reel in one tap.
HOW TO CONNECT
Account, Connections, Connect Instagram. Sign in on a professional account and approve publishing.
HOW YOU USE IT

WHAT IT SEES
Your username and the posts it published.
WHAT IT NEVER SEES
Your feed, your DMs or anyone else's account.
WHY IT IS WORTH IT
Same as TikTok: an episode is already the shape Reels want.
LinkedIn
On Series, post an episode with its LinkedIn post already written.
On Series, post an episode with its LinkedIn post already written.
HOW TO CONNECT
Account, Connections, Connect LinkedIn. Approve posting to your profile.

WHAT IT SEES

WHAT IT NEVER SEES
Your feed, connections, messages or company pages.
WHY IT IS WORTH IT
Founders and investors are on LinkedIn, and a real episode with a real post is rare there.
X

X
On Series, post an episode with a thread written from your words, once you have checked it.
HOW TO CONNECT
Account, Connections, Connect X. Sign in as yourself. No developer app or credits needed.
HOW YOU USE IT
Press Post to X to see the thread in order, with the link if the episode is public. Nothing is sent until you press Post this to X. Post everywhere shows the thread first too.
WHAT IT SEES
Your handle and the posts it made.
WHAT IT NEVER SEES
Your timeline, messages or followers. It cannot post until you confirm.
WHY IT IS WORTH IT
The thread is already written from your words. Checking it is the whole job.
Where it asks you
At a natural pause in your day, underway messages you in your own chat. Your reply sets up the recording. Nothing is recorded in the chat.
Slack
The channels you invite it to, read as context, and a DM when something looks worth an episode.
Slack
The channels you invite it to, read as context, and a DM when something looks worth an episode.
HOW TO CONNECT
Account, Connections, Add to Slack. Approve it for your workspace. About twenty seconds.
HOW YOU USE IT
Type /invite @underway in any channel and it reads what is said there, back through as much history as Slack keeps, and writes each channel's day into your context, so the interview can ask about the thread that went quiet. At a good moment, like work going live, a new email or a milestone, it sends one message with Film it, Tell me more and Not today. Reply with the topic, the length, and camera or podcast, and you get a link that opens underway ready to record. You can also ask it what you shipped on Tuesday. The Nudges switch turns it off.
WHAT IT SEES
The channels you invite it to (every message, kept as context), and your DM with it.
WHAT IT NEVER SEES
Any channel you have not invited it to. It posts only in its DM with you, never as you, and nothing from a channel becomes footage or goes public.
WHY IT IS WORTH IT
The commit that took all afternoon is worth thirty seconds now and a shrug hours later. Asked in the moment, it gets filmed.
WhatsApp
The same nudge on your phone, from underway's own number.
The same nudge on your phone, from underway's own number.
HOW TO CONNECT
Account, Connections, Link WhatsApp shows a six-character code. Send it to underway's number from your WhatsApp. You message first.
HOW YOU USE IT
The same buttons as Slack, and plain words: "a podcast today about the pricing call" or "what did I ship on Tuesday?" Questions get answers; a wish to record gets a link. On Founder you start each conversation; on Series and above it can message you first.
WHAT IT SEES
Only your chat with underway's number.
WHAT IT NEVER SEES
Your other chats, contacts or groups. It writes only in that chat, never as you.
WHY IT IS WORTH IT
A nudge that reaches you in a queue or on a walk is one you can answer.
Your meetings
Who you met and what was said, from tools you already use. Transcripts shape your questions and never become footage: nobody else's voice goes in an episode.
Google Calendar
So the interview can ask “what came out of the pricing call?”
Google Calendar
So the interview can ask “what came out of the pricing call?”
HOW TO CONNECT
Account, Connections, Connect Google Calendar. Approve read-only access to events.
HOW YOU USE IT
Meetings show on today's list with how long they ran, so the interview can ask about the one that overran.
WHAT IT SEES
Event titles, times and who was invited.
WHAT IT NEVER SEES
What was said. It cannot add, move or cancel anything.
WHY IT IS WORTH IT
Who and when is usually enough for a good question, with nobody else's words involved.
Zoom
Transcripts of calls you recorded, so the interview knows what was decided.
Zoom
Transcripts of calls you recorded, so the interview knows what was decided.
HOW TO CONNECT
Account, Connections, Connect Zoom. Approve read-only access to your cloud recordings.
HOW YOU USE IT
Record to the cloud as usual. After the call, one line on what came out of it appears on today's list, for you to tick or not.
WHAT IT SEES
Transcripts of your own cloud recordings.
WHAT IT NEVER SEES
Calls you did not record or other people's recordings. It cannot join a call.
WHY IT IS WORTH IT
Decisions happen in meetings. Without this, the interview only knows there was one.
Fathom
The same, for meetings Fathom recorded.
Fathom
The same, for meetings Fathom recorded.
HOW TO CONNECT
Paste an API key from Fathom's settings.
HOW YOU USE IT
Each recorded meeting becomes one line: what it was and what came out of it.
WHAT IT SEES
Transcripts and summaries of your own Fathom recordings.
WHAT IT NEVER SEES
Anything live. Underway never records a meeting itself; that would capture people who never agreed to it.
WHY IT IS WORTH IT
If Fathom is already in your calls, thirty seconds fills the biggest gap in what the interview knows.
Fireflies
The same, for meetings Fireflies recorded.
Fireflies
The same, for meetings Fireflies recorded.
HOW TO CONNECT
Paste an API key from Fireflies' settings.
HOW YOU USE IT
If Fathom and Fireflies both saw a call, it shows once.
WHAT IT SEES
Transcripts and summaries of your own Fireflies recordings.
WHAT IT NEVER SEES
Anything live, and no transcript ever goes in an episode.
WHY IT IS WORTH IT
Same as Fathom: the decision happened on the call, and now the interview can ask about it.
A transcripts folder
For recorders that save to disk, including Meet transcripts saved locally.
A transcripts folder
For recorders that save to disk, including Meet transcripts saved locally.
HOW TO CONNECT
Account, Connections, Open a folder, then pick where your recorder saves. Chrome and Edge only.
HOW YOU USE IT
Open the app and it reads any new transcript there.
WHAT IT SEES
New transcript files in that folder.
WHAT IT NEVER SEES
Anything outside it. Only the one-line note leaves your machine.
WHY IT IS WORTH IT
It covers any recorder underway does not connect to directly.
What you were sent
Email, without reading your mailbox. You forward what matters, and newsletter tools share only your own sends and subscriber count.
A forwarding inbox
Forward the investor's reply or the supplier's quote, and your next episode knows.
A forwarding inbox
Forward the investor's reply or the supplier's quote, and your next episode knows.
HOW TO CONNECT
Nothing to connect. Account, Connections shows an address that is yours alone, like a1b2c3@in.underway.life.
HOW YOU USE IT
Forward an email by hand from any mail app. Or in Gmail, add the address under Settings, Forwarding (the confirmation code appears on today's list within a minute) and filter the senders that matter. Each email becomes one line on today's list, like “patent lawyer: the claims need narrowing before Friday”, for you to tick.
WHAT IT SEES
Only what you forward. Each email is read once to write that line, which stays on today's list so you can ask about it later. Newsletters, receipts and notifications from tools you already connect are set aside, listed on the card with the reason, and never used.
WHAT IT NEVER SEES
Your mailbox. There is no Gmail connection, and the email itself is not stored.
WHY IT IS WORTH IT
Email is where the big news arrives. This reaches it without reading everything, and months later you can ask when the lawyer first raised it.
Kit
What you sent, and how many people are on your list.
Kit
What you sent, and how many people are on your list.
HOW TO CONNECT
Paste a V4 API key from Kit's settings. Read-only.
HOW YOU USE IT
Each send becomes a line on today's list. Subscribers become a number you can set a target for, and it notices when you pass a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand.
WHAT IT SEES
Your broadcasts, their subjects and send times, and your subscriber count.
WHAT IT NEVER SEES
Subscribers' names or addresses. It cannot send anything.
WHY IT IS WORTH IT
The day the list passes a thousand is an episode. The count is shown to you and never steers the interview.
beehiiv
The same as Kit, for beehiiv.
beehiiv
The same as Kit, for beehiiv.
HOW TO CONNECT
Paste an API key and your publication id (it starts with pub_). Read-only.
HOW YOU USE IT
Posts become lines the day they go out; subscribers become a number with targets and milestones.
WHAT IT SEES
Your published posts and active subscriber count.
WHAT IT NEVER SEES
Individual subscribers. It cannot publish.
WHY IT IS WORTH IT
Same as Kit: a send is a day worth an episode.
Your working papers
The plan, the deck, the pricing sheet. You pick the files in Google's own chooser, and underway reads those and nothing else.
Google Drive
The files you pick, so the interview knows the day your plan or your pricing changed.
Google Drive
The files you pick, so the interview knows the day your plan or your pricing changed.
HOW TO CONNECT
Account, Connections, Connect Google Drive. Approve, then pick the files in Google's own file chooser. Pick more, or stop reading one, from the same card.
HOW YOU USE IT
Each file you pick becomes one line on today's list saying what it is. After that, any day one of them changes becomes one line saying what changed, like “Pricing 2027: added an annual plan at £150”, for you to tick.
WHAT IT SEES
Only the files you pick: Docs, Sheets (the first tab), Slides and plain text files read in full, PDFs and the rest by name and date.
WHAT IT NEVER SEES
Anything else in your Drive, which it has no permission to open. It cannot edit, share or delete a file, and nothing in one becomes footage.
WHY IT IS WORTH IT
The decision you wrote down at eleven at night is the one you forget to mention. The interview asks about it instead.
Who to interview
The interview is you hosting another founder on camera, and their audience is the distribution: they share the episode they are in. Finding the right guest is the hard part.
treg
Founders with an audience to invite on your show, found on your own treg key.
treg
Founders with an audience to invite on your show, found on your own treg key.
HOW TO CONNECT
Paste your token from treg.to. Searches are paid from your own treg credit, about 75 cents at most each.
HOW YOU USE IT
On the interview page, say who you would like on and press Find guests. It finds founders like that on LinkedIn, keeps the ones with over 2,000 followers, reads their recent posts for a story, looks up their checked work email and writes the invite for you to edit and send from your own email.
WHAT IT SEES
Public LinkedIn profiles and posts of the people it finds, and their work email where one can be checked. Nobody in the UK or EU gets an email looked up.
WHAT IT NEVER SEES
Your day, your episodes or anything you film. Nothing from it reaches the interview's questions, and underway never sends a founder's invites.
WHY IT IS WORTH IT
One guest with an audience can bring more viewers in an hour than a month of posting into silence.
Your shop and studio
For makers, studios, artists and bands. Each is a key you make in your own account, with nobody's approval in between, and none of them ever shows who bought.

WHAT IT SEES
Orders (number, total, items) and products you added.
WHAT IT NEVER SEES
Who bought, or anything about your customers. It cannot change your shop.

The piece that sold out in an hour is an episode. The order says so before you would think to.
Gumroad
Sales of your digital work.

Sales of your digital work.
HOW TO CONNECT
Create an application in Gumroad's settings and paste the access token it makes.
HOW YOU USE IT
Each sale shows on today's list with the product and the amount, and sales count towards your revenue milestones.
WHAT IT SEES
Sales, amounts and which product.
WHAT IT NEVER SEES
Who bought. Gumroad's tokens can change things, so underway only ever reads.
WHY IT IS WORTH IT
The first sale of a new preset pack is the moment to ask what you made and who it was for.
Squarespace
Orders and new products on your Squarespace shop.
Squarespace

WHAT IT SEES
New patrons and their tier, and your posts' titles.

Orders Printful made and shipped for you.
Printful
Orders Printful made and shipped for you.
HOW TO CONNECT
Paste a store token from Printful's developer page, with read access to orders.
HOW YOU USE IT
Orders started, shipped or held up show beside what shipped today.
WHAT IT SEES
Each order's status and how many items.
WHAT IT NEVER SEES
Your customers' details. It cannot place or cancel orders.
WHY IT IS WORTH IT
The first batch going out the door is a moment; an order stuck on hold is a question.
Figma
The design files you changed.
Figma
The design files you changed.
HOW TO CONNECT
Paste a personal access token from Figma's security settings, and your team's page address.
HOW YOU USE IT
Files you changed, versions you named and new comments show on today's list beside your Drive files.
WHAT IT SEES
File names, the projects they sit in, named versions and comments.
WHAT IT NEVER SEES
The designs themselves. It cannot edit a file.
WHY IT IS WORTH IT
Three versions of a cover in one afternoon is a story: which one won, and why.
Your numbers
The pulse of the business. The day the first payment lands is an episode, and you will be too busy to write it down.
Stripe
Payments since your last episode.

WHAT IT SEES
Payments, amounts and who paid, so the interview can ask about the first one.

WHY IT IS WORTH IT
“Who paid you first?” beats anything you'd remember to write down.

WHAT IT SEES
New memberships and payments in your own store, and who joined.
WHAT IT NEVER SEES
Other stores. It cannot sell, refund or change anything.
WHY IT IS WORTH IT
The first member is the first customer, and that is an episode.
Plausible
Today's visitors and pageviews.
Plausible
Today's visitors and pageviews.
HOW TO CONNECT
Paste an API key and your site's domain.
HOW YOU USE IT
When traffic moves, today's list says so and the interview can ask why. Visitors in 30 days are a milestone you can set a goal for.
WHAT IT SEES
Total visitor and pageview counts.
WHAT IT NEVER SEES
Individual visitors; Plausible has none.
WHY IT IS WORTH IT
A launch shows up here as a spike before anywhere else.
PostHog
Usage since your last episode.

Usage since your last episode.
HOW TO CONNECT
Paste a personal API key and your project id.
HOW YOU USE IT

Meta ads
What your Facebook and Instagram ads did each day.
HOW TO CONNECT
Sign in with Facebook and choose the ad accounts that count. Read-only. Meta is still reviewing underway's access, so for now it's open to a small test group: email us to join.
HOW YOU USE IT
Each day the ads ran becomes one line, like “'Founders US' spent £24, reached 812 people, 6 leads at £4 each”, and an ad Meta rejects becomes a line too. Leads and sign-ups from ads become numbers you can set a target for, and the first lead is a milestone.
WHAT IT SEES
Spend, people reached, clicks, leads, sign-ups, trials started and purchases per campaign, and which ads Meta turned down and why.
WHAT IT NEVER SEES
Your ads' audiences or the people who clicked. It cannot create, pause, change or pay for an ad.
WHY IT IS WORTH IT
The week the ads start bringing in leads, or the day one is rejected, is an episode. These are your business's numbers, not how many people watched your episodes.
Google Search Console
How your site did in Google search, a day at a time.
Google Search Console
How your site did in Google search, a day at a time.
HOW TO CONNECT
Sign in with Google and choose the site that counts. Read-only. Google is still reviewing underway's access, so for now it's open to a small test group: email us to join.
HOW YOU USE IT
Each day becomes one line once Google has settled it, about three days on, like “Google search, Friday 2 October: yoursite.com showed 412 times and got 9 clicks, average position 14.2. Most searched: 'build in public app'”. Clicks and times shown in 28 days are milestones you can set a goal for.
WHAT IT SEES
Clicks, times shown, average position and the searches that found your site.
WHAT IT NEVER SEES
Who searched. It cannot change anything in Search Console or on your site.
WHY IT IS WORTH IT
The first week people find you on Google without being sent is an episode, and Google's own five-clicks email is a milestone you will see here first.
What no connection can see
How the day felt. That part comes from you: a voice note on a walk, a quick clip to camera, a screenshot. It’s the half that matters most.
Card needed to start. Nothing taken until day 15, cancel any time before.
