# Connect your apps

> Connect Gmail, Stripe, Notion, Slack, and dozens of other tools to your company, then ask Skarmy to work across them in chat.

The **Apps** page connects Skarmy to the tools you already use. Once an app is connected, you can ask the coach to work it in plain language — `check my calendar for tomorrow`, `draft a reply to that Stripe email` — one action at a time.

## Before you start

Browsing is open to everyone; **connecting an app requires an account.**

## The catalog

Select **Apps** in the sidebar. You get a search box, a category filter, and each category laid out with one row per app. Connected apps gather in an **Installed** strip at the top.

## Connect an app

<Steps>
  <Step title="Pick the app">
    Select its row, or the **+** on the row. The app's detail page shows what it is, what Skarmy can do in it, and a connect button.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose what Skarmy may do">
    Before connecting, the app's **skills** — the individual actions Skarmy can take in it — are listed with checkboxes. Untick anything you would rather keep off.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Authorize it">
    Connecting sends you to the tool's own sign-in to grant access, then back to Skarmy.

    **Expected result:** the app appears in the **Installed** strip.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Use a connected app

Just ask, in any chat with the coach:

```text theme={null}
What's on my calendar tomorrow?
```

```text theme={null}
Find the invoice email from last week and summarise it.
```

Skarmy searches the app's skills, runs the one action that fits, and reports what it did. The Builder can use connected apps too — most usefully **Stripe**: it can create a real payment link in your own Stripe account and put it on your site, so you can take money the day you publish.

## Manage a connected app

The row's **⋯** menu offers **Chat** (start a conversation about this app), **Manage** (its detail page), and **Uninstall**. On the detail page you can flip individual skills on and off at any time — a switched-off skill simply refuses until you turn it back on.

## What Skarmy will never do in your apps

The short version: it reads freely when you ask, acts only when you ask, deletes never. The full rules are on [App permissions](/company/app-permissions).

## Verify

* The app shows in the **Installed** strip.
* Asking the coach something that needs the app produces a real answer from your data.
* A skill you switched off is refused when you ask for it.

## Troubleshooting

| ---------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Every app shows as unavailable     | App connections are not switched on in this environment yet.                                                             |
| Skarmy refuses an action           | The skill may be switched off — check the app's detail page — or the action is one Skarmy never performs, like deleting. |
| The connection stopped working     | Uninstall and reconnect — the tool's authorization may have expired.                                                     |
| You want an app that is not listed | The catalog is growing. Tell support which tool you need.                                                                |
