Grammarly is thrilled to announce app actions! App actions make it easy to take the next step in your workflow directly from where you’re writing so you and your team can stay focused and efficient. Connect your favorite workplace apps with Grammarly to complete all of your small but essential functions—like assigning a task in Asana or finding that file in Google Drive—without dividing your attention.
Work has become increasingly global and remote, and technology trying to boost productivity in this environment has resulted in an overload of apps, docs, and messages—leading to siloed or missed information, constant context switching, and compromised work quality.
A 2022 Harvard Business Review study found that up to five weeks, or 9% of professionals’ time at work annually, is lost to workers reorienting themselves after toggling between apps.
For example, sending a simple meeting follow-up email involves a multi-app process: composing the email, toggling to other tabs and apps to link in the correct document, linking to schedule a follow-up meeting, navigating to a project management tool to create the related project task, adding the link to the email, and finally hitting send.
Professionals are frustrated by the disruption in focus and time wasted by context switching. App actions fix that.
How do app actions work?
App actions centralize your workflow by bringing the functionality of your essential workplace apps directly into Grammarly. This allows you to get your most meaningful work done faster without distractions from context-switching between apps as you write in documents, respond to messages, and plan tasks and projects.
From wherever you’re writing, you can open up Grammarly and select the app action you need to take the next step in your workflow. Whether it’s “Find a file in Microsoft 365” or “Find or Create a contact in HubSpot,” app actions bring the functionality of your favorite workplace tools directly into Grammarly.
Grammarly’s first app actions are available on Grammarly for Chrome and Grammarly for Windows and Mac. Giphy and Unsplash app actions are available for all users. For Grammarly Premium, Teams, and Enterprise and Grammarly for Education users, Grammarly also offers Asana, Jira, monday.com, Wrike, Smartsheet, Google Drive, Confluence, Microsoft 365, Calendly, and HubSpot integrations.
Work management at your fingertips

Connecting workplace tools for increased productivity
Grammarly works where you do—across more than 500,000 applications and websites—and now with app actions, you can take the next step in your workflow without switching apps.
Grammarly customer Stacey Roshan, an Ed Tech Consultant, says, “Grammarly’s app actions help me stay in the zone and churn out good work by putting everything I need at my fingertips so I can stay in the flow and not get lost in other tabs. I can stay on the page where I’m writing while instantly locating a file from Google Drive, inserting the ideal GIF or image, and more.”
Asana, one of Grammarly’s first app actions partners, recently published a report titled “The State of Collaboration Technology: Research-Backed Insights for Decoding Digital Clutter and Resetting Your Tech Stack,” which concludes that organizations can help teams regain efficiency by “craft[ing] a tech ecosystem that truly amplifies productivity.”
David Shackelford, Head of Product Management, Enterprise at Asana says, ”Teams around the globe are plagued by inefficient collaboration, time-consuming meetings and status updates, and the tedium of tracking down information across disparate tools. With the automation that app actions provide, teams can reduce busywork, collaborate more efficiently, and ultimately drive more impact for their organization.”
