How to connect Ploid to Grok Bot

Grok is xAI's assistant, and its bot builder lets you create a personal agent that holds context, runs skills, and connects to the apps you already use through plugins.

This guide explains how to connect Ploid to a Grok bot using Composio Connect, which handles OAuth, token refresh, and reliability so you do not have to. You add Composio as a plugin, authenticate once, then ask your bot to work with Ploid in plain language.

For exact tool slugs and parameter tables, see the tool catalog in the Composio docs.

Composio exposes 1,700+ apps to your Grok bot through a single connection, so you get:

• Connect to 1,700+ apps with on-demand tool loading, so you do not fill your context window with unnecessary tool definitions.
• Use programmatic tool calling through a remote workbench, letting the model write its own code to handle complex tool chaining. This reduces back-and-forth for frequent tool calls.
• Handle large tool responses outside the model context to keep conversations lean.

Connecting Ploid to Grok Bot

Once Grok Bot is set up, you connect Ploid entirely from its interface, and the whole flow takes under a minute.

Set up Grok Bot

Get access. Grok Bot is included with Cursor Ultra, Cursor Premium Teams, and SuperGrok Heavy. Get the desktop app for macOS or Windows from x.ai/bot and sign in. An iPhone companion app is also available, and your bots sync across devices.

Create a bot. Pick a suggested role or define your own, then give it a short name, one primary job, and a short description of how it should work. Focused bots work best, because a clear role gives the bot more useful context over time.

Connect Ploid

1. Add the Composio plugin

Click the button. The Composio listing on x.ai opens and launches Grok Bot for you. If the app does not open on its own, click Add to Grok Bot.

Add to Grok Bot

Grok Bot opens the Composio plugin, showing its connector and skills. Click Add.

2. Authenticate

Go to the Installed section and click the Composio entry. You'll see its connector and skills listed.

Click Authenticate. You'll be taken to the Composio consent screen. Review the access it requests and click Authorize. Composio handles the OAuth handshake for you, so you never touch API keys or tokens.

3. Connect your Ploid account

Back in the chat, ask your bot to connect to Ploid or give it any Ploid task.

For example, ask it to:

• "Research prospects and enrich their identities"
• "Find public LinkedIn intelligence on prospects"
• "Build a people research brief"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

That's it. Composio's tools are now available in your Grok bot, and your Ploid account is ready to use.

Grok is xAI's assistant, available as a chat interface and a bot builder for creating personal agents that run skills and connect to external apps.

With Composio Connect, your Grok bot can securely access apps like Ploid through MCP without you sharing account credentials directly with the agent.

The Ploid MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Ploid account. It provides structured and secure access to people research, identity enrichment, public LinkedIn intelligence, and agent-powered research tools, so your agent can search for people, resolve identities, enrich contact details, investigate LinkedIn profiles and activity, and monitor relevant social updates on your behalf.

• People discovery and research: Have your agent search for people by structured criteria, find identity candidates, resolve named individuals, and retrieve evidence-backed person research.
• Identity and contact enrichment: Direct your agent to enrich a person with available work email, personal email, phone, or public social profile details.
• LinkedIn intelligence: Let the agent find LinkedIn people and companies, inspect public profiles, review company details, and retrieve posts or comments from public profiles.
• Targeted talent research: Instruct your agent to search GitHub accounts and people, connect relevant GitHub accounts with indexed LinkedIn people, or list recruiters and role counts for selected companies.
• Ongoing research and data workflows: Have your agent create datasets, track research results, create and run scheduled social monitors, and review monitor activity and emitted updates.

Way Forward

Now that Ploid is connected, extend your setup by connecting the other apps you already use every day, so your Grok bot can run true cross-app workflows end to end.

• Connect Calendar to turn threads into scheduled meetings automatically.
• Connect Slack or Teams to post summaries, approvals, and alerts where your team works.
• Connect Notion, Linear, Jira, or Asana to convert requests into tickets, tasks, and docs.
• Connect Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive to fetch, file, and share attachments without manual steps.

Start with one workflow you do repeatedly, then keep adding apps as you find new handoffs. With everything behind a single connection, your bot can coordinate multiple tools safely and reliably in one conversation.
