What it is
Composio is an OAuth-as-a-service layer for SaaS apps. Instead of each app requiring you to implement the integration from scratch (registering the app, handling token refresh, keeping credentials secure), Composio exposes a broad catalog of apps behind a single connection. Apollo Space uses Composio to connect your agents to the tools your company already runs on:- Athena reads and writes to your Notion, Slack, Linear, HubSpot, and more
- Marcus can send email via Gmail (instead of Resend) when you want to keep the thread in your real inbox
- Scout can search internal tools (Confluence, Notion) in addition to the public web
Available toolkits
The full list is at composio.dev/apps. The most commonly used in the Apollo Space context:Productivity

How to authenticate
Authentication goes through the app’s own OAuth, brokered by Composio:1
Choose the toolkit in Apollo Space
In Settings → Integrations, select the app you want to connect
(Notion, Slack, etc.).
2
Apollo Space redirects you to the app's OAuth flow
Log in to the app (Notion, Slack, Gmail…) and authorize Apollo Space to
read/write per the requested scopes.
3
Composio stores the encrypted token
The access token is stored encrypted in Composio.
Apollo Space never sees the raw token — it only asks Composio to
execute actions on your behalf.
4
Agents get access to the toolkit
From that point on, your org’s agents (Athena, Marcus, Scout,
Digital Twins) can use that app’s tools — subject to each agent’s
permissions.
Scope: org vs. personal
Each Composio connection can be made in one of two scopes:Org-level
The connection belongs to the organization as a whole. Any org agent
can use it. Example: the company Slack account used by
operational agents.
Personal
The connection belongs to a specific user — only agents operating
“on their behalf” (including that user’s Digital Twin)
can use it. Example: a leader’s personal Notion, accessible
only to their Twin.
Automatic cost cap per toolkit
Composio charges for some toolkits per call (most are free — OAuth brokering only). To protect you from cost spikes:- Apollo Space tracks spend per (org, toolkit) over time
- If the average cost per call exceeds a safe threshold, Apollo Space automatically pauses that org+toolkit combination
- You’re notified and can review before reactivating
What lands in your Stars wallet
Known limitations
- App OAuth quota — if the app enforces a 1,000-call/day limit, Apollo Space is subject to it too. There’s no way around it.
- App schema changes — when a SaaS app updates its API, Composio needs to catch up. Apollo Space inherits that lag (rare, but it happens).
- No non-OAuth apps — Composio only covers apps with public OAuth. Custom internal apps at your company require a custom tool.
