Knowledge

What gets indexed

Resource	Coverage
Channels	Partial — not every record the vendor holds is synced
Messages	Partial — not every record the vendor holds is synced

Sync

Freshness & sync

Resource	Lag	Deletions
Channels	Up to 1 day	Removed records disappear on the next full sync
Messages	Up to 1 day	Removed records disappear on the next full sync

Data handling

Permissions & data handling

The scopes above are the permissions this connector requests. They come from the catalog, not from a hand-written page.

Excluded from semantic search: Channels, Messages.

After connect

Verify it worked

After you save, Telara runs a read-only check against the account. The integration shows as connected when that check succeeds.

Honesty

Known limitations

Telara only sees channels the installed app is in. Private channels need an invite.

Enterprise Grid orgs may need org-level approval before a workspace install works.
