Listed integrations include Meta, Instagram, Google Drive, Dropbox, Slack, Notion, Google Sheets, Zapier, Shopify, and HubSpot; TikTok is marked “Soon.” Pointerly says it encrypts connections with TLS 1.2 or higher and stored database data with AES-256, and uses row-level security for team data isolation.
