Overview of the data Windmill syncs from your integrations — meetings, messages, code, tasks, and HRIS records — and how Windy uses it across the platform.
Windmill connects to your business applications through their APIs. This data powers 1:1s, Performance Reviews, Feedback, and other features that help you understand team contributions and collaboration patterns.
The more systems you connect to Windmill, the better Windy becomes at identifying collaboration patterns and generating insights. Each integration provides different types of data that contribute to a comprehensive view of each team member.Windmill only collects data from systems you explicitly authorize. Every member can view connected integrations in Settings > Integrations. Admins, HR Admins, and Integration Managers can connect and manage company integrations.
Windmill integrates with different categories of tools to build a comprehensive picture of overall performance:Development and engineering tools Track code contributions, pull requests, issue resolution, and technical project work. Examples include GitHub, Jira, and Linear.Collaboration and productivity tools Capture document creation, file sharing, meeting participation. Examples include Google Workspace, Slack, Notion, and Figma.Go-To-Market tools Monitor customer interactions, support tickets, sales activities, and client communications. Examples include Salesforce, HubSpot, Zendesk, and Front.Meeting and communication platforms Sync meeting transcripts, attendance, and scheduled calls. Examples include Zoom, Google Meet, Gong, Granola, and Roam. See Meetings and Recordings for details.HR systems Pull employee roster, org chart structure, and reporting relationships. See Employee Information for what’s collected.
All the data Windmill collects serves specific purposes:1:1s Windy uses connected data to build Catch Me Up summaries for 1:1s. A summary can include recent work, meetings, and other information you can see.Performance Reviews Managers see aggregated data about performance, contributions, and collaboration patterns which help improve performance reviews.
Connect more integrations to give Windmill better context about team collaboration. This improves the quality of all features.
When connected content has source-level access controls, Windmill keeps that permission context. For example:
If you can’t access a Google Doc, you can’t see it in Windmill
Transcript access is based on meeting participants and integration-specific rules. See Meetings and Recordings
If you don’t have access to a Slack channel, you can’t see messages from that channel
Some integrations provide company-level activity or usage data instead of user-scoped content. Windmill applies the permissions for the applicable feature to this data. See Permissions and Access.
