How does the Attio sync work?

Ember reads contacts and notes and history from Attio in real time to ground its drafts. Attio stays your source of truth. Today Ember keeps a complete activity timeline for each contact on its own side, and CRM write-back into Attio is on the roadmap.

How fast does Ember see changes in Attio?

In real time. Ember uses Attio webhooks, so a new note or contact reaches Ember without waiting for a scheduled sync.

What permissions does Ember need for Attio?

Ember connects with a per-user OAuth authorization rather than a shared API key, and you can revoke access at any time.

Can Ember automate email outreach from my Attio contacts?

Yes. That is the core of the integration. Ember reads each Attio contact’s notes and history, decides who needs a touch and when, drafts the email in your voice, then sends from your real inbox once you approve.

Ember + Attio

Ground every draft in your real Attio relationships.

Ember connects to Attio and reads your contacts and notes and history in real time, so every draft is grounded in the actual relationship instead of a template. Attio stays your source of truth, and Ember keeps a complete activity timeline for each contact on its own side.

What it does

Real-time contact and notes sync (read)
Reads notes and history to ground each draft
Real-time updates via webhooks

How it works

1Connect Attio with a per-user OAuth authorization that’s secure and revocable, with no shared API keys.
2Ember pulls in your contacts along with their notes and history, so it understands each relationship the way you do.
3When it’s time to reach out, Ember grounds the draft in the real Attio context: past notes, the people involved, the stage of the relationship.
4Every email Ember sends and every reply it sees is captured in Ember’s own activity timeline for that contact, so you see the full history in one place.
5Webhooks keep Ember current in real time. A new note or contact in Attio reaches Ember without waiting for a nightly sync.

What syncs

Ember reads

Contacts and their core fields
Notes and relationship history
Activity and timeline context

Ember writes

Sends email from your connected inbox once you approve
Keeps a per-contact activity timeline inside Ember (CRM write-back to Attio is on the roadmap)

Why it matters

A CRM is only useful if it reflects reality, but its real value at outreach time is context. Ember reads your Attio contacts and notes and history to ground every draft, so the email reflects the actual relationship instead of a generic template.

Because Ember reads your notes and history before it writes, its outreach is grounded in the real relationship. You get outreach that sounds like you actually remember the person, plus a single activity timeline you can trust.
