Some are on from the start. Others reach outside services, so an Admin switches them on on purpose. Open the **Connectors** page from the RADAR sidebar. ![The Connectors page: rows grouped under AppReply, App listings, App reviews and App store keywords, each with its logo and an On or Off state](https://mintcdn.com/appreply/bnS5T3Kw2jFffd-K/images/product/assistant/06-connectors.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=bnS5T3Kw2jFffd-K\&q=85\&s=d8a4a288e640c17c53eee4ad338f4589) ## The five connectors The page lists the things RADAR can do, grouped by kind (AppReply, App listings, App reviews, App store keywords, Social, Review sites, Web, Keywords and AI answers). Each row shows whether the connector behind it is **On**, **Off** or **Not available**. Click a row to open that connector. Behind the rows there are five connectors: | Connector | What RADAR can do with it | Starts | | - | - | - | | **AppReply data** | Read your reviews and replies, analytics, topics, rules, alerts, knowledge base and settings. It reads and never changes anything. | On | | **AppReply actions** | Propose changes: replies, rules, alerts, topics and settings. Each change shows up as a card and waits for approval. | On | | **Store data** | Look up any app in the App Store and Google Play: listings, public reviews, review comparisons, keyword rankings and similar apps. Useful for competitors and for apps you do not own. | On | | **Web and social research** | Search Reddit, X, Threads, TikTok and YouTube comments, search the web and read pages, check keyword demand, see what AI engines such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews answer, and read competitor store reviews. | Off | | **Review sites and search data** | Read Trustpilot, G2, GetApp and Capterra reviews, find related keywords, and see what AI engines such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews answer about an app or brand. | Off | Some tools, such as web search, keyword demand, AI engine answers and Steam reviews, can be reached through either research connector. They stay available while at least one of the two is on. Steam reviews are free. > [!NOTE] > > Turning off **AppReply actions** does not stop RADAR from answering questions. It stops RADAR from proposing changes, including saves to the shared memory. A change already waiting on a card cannot be approved while AppReply actions are off: the card says "AppReply actions are switched off for this organization, so this change was not made." You can still reject it, or switch the connector back on and approve it. Turning off **AppReply data** means RADAR cannot read your reviews or settings, so the page asks you to confirm first. ## Research connectors The two research connectors send searches to an outside service: `treg.to` for web and social research, and `monid.ai` for review sites and search data. Each dialog shows the service under **Sends data to**. What they receive is limited. The research lookups take names, domains and keywords as input, not review text or personal data. The first time an Admin switches one on, they have to tick a box that says so before saving. The dialog then shows who accepted it and when, behind its **Who changed this** tip. Each research dialog also has a **Sources** list that shows what RADAR can reach through that connector and whether it works: **Works now**, **Not verified yet** or **Not offered**. Trustpilot and G2 are often blocked by the sites themselves, and nothing is charged when that happens. ### Cost and budget The other connectors are included. Research lookups are paid per lookup, typically a fraction of a cent. To keep this under control: * Each research connector has a **Monthly budget**, from $1 to $25. It starts at \$25. Set it lower to cap one connector. * Your organization can spend at most $25 a month and $2 a day on research, across both connectors together. * When a connector reaches its budget, RADAR stops using it for the rest of the month. The count starts again on the 1st (UTC). The bar at the top of the page shows how many connectors are on, how much research has been spent this month and how much is left today. If a research connector shows **Not available**, it cannot be switched on. The dialog says why: "AppReply has not connected this service yet." or "Research is not switched on for AppReply yet." Both mean AppReply has not set it up on its side. ## Who can change them Everyone in the organization can open a connector and read how it is set up. Only an Admin or Owner can change it. For everyone else the switch shows the current state but cannot be moved, the dialog says **Only an Admin can change connectors**, and its button reads **Close**. **1. Open the connector** On the Connectors page, click a row. A dialog opens with a description, where the data goes, what it costs and the switch. **2. Switch it on or off** Use **On for this organization**. For a research connector you can also set the monthly budget, and tick the acceptance box the first time. **3. Save** Click **Save**. The change applies to the whole organization. ## Narrow a single chat An Admin's choice sets the most RADAR can read. You can use less in one chat. Click the plus button next to the message field and choose **Sources**, or type `/sources`. The list shows the sources that are switched on for your organization. Turning one off there changes that chat only. If nothing is switched on, the list says so and points to the Connectors page.
