Authentication

Rube uses OAuth browser authentication, which means:

• No manual API keys to manage
• Secure authentication handled automatically
• When you first use a Rube tool, your browser will open to authenticate with the relevant service
• Authentication tokens are securely stored and managed by Rube

Example Usage

Once Rube is configured, you can interact with 500+ apps directly through Goose. Here are some examples:

Email Management

Send an email to john@example.com with subject "Meeting Update" and body "The meeting has been moved to 3 PM"

Slack Communication

Post a message to the #general channel saying "Deploy completed successfully"

GitHub Integration

Create a new issue in my repository with title "Bug Report" and description "Found an issue with the login flow"

Google Sheets

Add a new row to my "Sales Data" spreadsheet with values: Date: today, Amount: 1500, Client: Acme Corp

Calendar Management

Schedule a meeting for tomorrow at 2 PM with title "Project Review" and invite sarah@company.com

The first time you use tools for a specific service, you'll be prompted to authenticate through OAuth in your browser. After that, all subsequent interactions with that service will work seamlessly.

Troubleshooting

• Extension not connecting: Ensure you have a stable internet connection and that https://rube.app is accessible from your network.
• Authentication issues: If OAuth flows aren't working, try clearing your browser cache or using a different browser.
• Tool timeouts: Some operations with large datasets may take longer. You can increase the timeout value in the extension settings if needed.
• Rate limits: Rube respects the rate limits of individual services. If you hit limits, wait a few minutes before retrying.

Getting Help

• Visit rube.app for documentation and support for integration-specific questions
• Check the Rube status page for any service interruptions
