Integrations

Three things connect to GeneLoop today. The connectors list shows more than three, so this page is the honest version.

What is connected

Integration	Status	What it does
Benchling	Working	Two-way. Search and import sequences and entries; export constructs back.
ORCID	Working	Links your ORCID iD to your account for researcher verification.
Opentrons	Working	Simulate, upload and run protocols on an OT-2 or Flex you can reach on your network.
Addgene, SnapGene, NCBI, GitHub, Notion	Not built	Listed in Connectors with a “coming soon” label and a disabled button.
Outbound webhooks	Not usable	You can create one and send a test, but no event is ever delivered. See below.

Benchling

The strongest of the three. Once connected, the assistant can search your Benchling sequences, pull one into a GeneLoop project, list your entries and registries, and export a finished construct back to Benchling.

The usual pattern: design in GeneLoop, where the assistant and the cloning tools are, and push the result to Benchling, where your lab already keeps its records.

Connecting

Open Settings → Connectors
From the avatar menu at the bottom of the icon rail.
Choose Benchling
Enter your tenant — the host you sign in at, like yourlab.benchling.com — and an API key from your Benchling account.
It is checked before it is stored
The key is tested against Benchling immediately. If it does not authenticate you find out then, rather than the first time you try to use it.

Keys are encrypted before they are stored. You can disconnect at any time from the same panel.

ORCID

Connecting your ORCID iD verifies you as a named researcher. Connect it from Settings → General, under researcher verification. It is standard OAuth — you approve it on ORCID's own site and nothing about your account is shared back beyond the iD.

Opentrons

Not an account connection. You give the tools your robot's network address each time, and they speak to it directly. Protocols and robots covers the whole flow.

Webhooks

Ordering DNA

There is no integration with Twist, IDT, GenScript or any other synthesis vendor. GeneLoop can assess whether a sequence looks likely to synthesise cleanly — GC content, repeats, homopolymer runs, overall complexity — but that is its own assessment, not a vendor's.

Export the sequence and order it the way you normally do. Exporting.
