Dovetail is an Australian software company that provides tools for transcription analysis, coding interpretation of interviews, survey responses, and feedback, enabling users to create summarized insights from their research analysis. On Nagent, Dovetail is exposed as a fully-configurable analytics integration that any agent can call — 51 actions, and API key authentication. No code is required to wire Dovetail into your workflow — connect it once via the External Integrations panel and reuse it across every agent you build.
Agent builders use Dovetail to automate the kinds of tasks analytics teams previously handled manually. Concrete examples — each one is a single agent step in Nagent — include:
Every action and trigger is paired with a structured input/output schema (visible in the sections below), so when you wire Dovetail into Helix — our agentic agent builder — the editor knows exactly what each step expects and produces. Configure once, deploy anywhere across your Nagent agents.
Every operation an agent can call against Dovetail, with input parameters and output schema. Drop these into any step of an agent built in Helix.

No publicly available marketplace agent is found using this tool yet. There are 92 agents privately built on Nagent that already use Dovetail.
Build on Nagent
Connect Dovetail to any Nagent agent in minutes — no API key management, no boilerplate. Just configure and deploy.
The five questions agent builders ask before adopting a new integration.
Open the External Integrations panel inside Nagent (app.nagent.ai/externalIntegration), find Dovetail, and click "Connect Now." You'll authenticate with an API key — Nagent handles credential storage and refresh automatically. Once connected, Dovetail is available to any agent in your workspace.
No. Nagent provides no-code integration for every tool. Once Dovetail is connected, you configure its 51 actions directly in the agent builder UI — no API calls, no boilerplate, no schema management.
Helix — Nagent's agentic agent builder — lets you drop Dovetail steps into any workflow visually. Pick an action (e.g., one of those listed above), fill in the inputs (Helix knows the required vs. optional schema for each parameter), and connect it to upstream/downstream steps. Triggers run as the entry point of an agent, so when a Dovetail event fires, the agent kicks off automatically.
Every Dovetail action and trigger ships with a fully-typed schema — input parameters with name, type, required flag, and description, plus the output payload shape. The schemas are documented in the sections above. Helix uses these schemas to validate your configuration at build time and to type-check the data flowing between steps.
Yes.
