# Integrations

Integrations are the built-in connectors to external systems and solutions.

### Authenticating Integrations

Before you can use an integration, you need to connect it to your account. To do this, navigate to the integrations page and select 'Add New Integration'

This will pop up a list with all available built-in integrations. Select the integration you want to establish a connection with.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
Different integrations require different authentication methods including OAuth 2.0, Bearer Token, JWT, or API Key. Additionally, some require additional information, such as an Organization Name or base URL.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

Once you have filled in the required information, select Connect.

Arcee partners with [Composio](https://composio.dev/) to power many integrations, so you will see a page from Composio indicating that your authentication was successful.

### Using Integrations

When working within a workflow, to integrate with a built-in integration, simply select the Integrations Node on the left navigation bar.

Click on the node and then select 'Choose Integration'.

From the drop down list, select the integration you'd like to connect to.

You will then see all the actions you can do for that integration. Scroll through all the actions and select the one you want to use.

Each integration action will have different parameters to determine what is done or sent via the action. For example, see the Slack integration action for sending a message to a channel:

In this example, you specify the channel you want to send the message to, any attachments you want to include, the text of the message, and others. Some parameters are required, which is specified by having the 'Required' tag at the top right of the parameter. If you are unsure what a parameter is, hover over the informational pop up to the left of the parameter.&#x20;

To dynamically set a parameter within an integration, refer to the [Passing Variables](/arcee-orchestra/workflows/passing-variables.md) page.
