Ship the Integrations That Give It to Them.’", "summary": "WorkOS launched Pipes, a new integration platform that connects AI agents to third-party tools like GitHub, Slack, Salesforce, and Google Drive. The service handles OAuth flows, token refresh, and credential storage, enabling agents to access real-time context from users' everyday applications without requiring developers to build custom plumbing for each integration.", "body_md": "My thanks to WorkOS for once again sponsoring DF last week. The context that actually matters isn’t in your database. It’s in the tools your users live in every day. Multi-stage agents stall the moment they hit a step they can’t see. And every missing integration is a different OAuth flow, a different token lifecycle, weeks of plumbing before the agent reads a single record.\n\n[WorkOS Pipes](https://workos.com/blog/workos-pipes-third-party-integrations?utm_source=daringfireball&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=q22026&utm_content=product_name_link) connects your agent to the tools your users live in. Pre-built connectors for GitHub, Slack, Salesforce, Google Drive, and more. Pipes handles OAuth, token refresh, and credential storage. You call the real provider API with a fresh token, every time. Your agent pulls context at every step, for as long as the task runs.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/workos-agents-need-context-ship-the-integrations-that-give-it-to-them", "canonical_source": "https://workos.com/docs/pipes?utm_source=daringfireball&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=q22026", "published_at": "2026-05-25 15:09:17+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-05-25 15:17:39.545371+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-agents", "ai-products", "ai-tools", "ai-infrastructure", "ai-startups"], "entities": ["WorkOS", "WorkOS Pipes", "GitHub", "Slack", "Salesforce", "Google Drive"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/workos-agents-need-context-ship-the-integrations-that-give-it-to-them", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/workos-agents-need-context-ship-the-integrations-that-give-it-to-them.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/workos-agents-need-context-ship-the-integrations-that-give-it-to-them.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/workos-agents-need-context-ship-the-integrations-that-give-it-to-them.jsonld"}}
