Connectors let your Base44 app work with the tools and data your business already uses. Connect services like Gmail, Slack, Google Workspace, Snowflake, Databricks, and more, then ask the AI chat to help you build app flows that use them.

Connecting your app to external tools

About connectors

Connectors link your app to the tools you already use. Pick a tool, authorize it, and let Base44 handle the setup behind the scenes, no API keys, no manual config.

​
Connector types

There are two types of connector, based on whose account the connection uses.

Connectors for app users

Each person using your app connects their own account. The app acts on their behalf, and their data stays private to them.Best for per-user actions, like a CRM where each sales rep sends email from their own Gmail.

Connectors for app builders

You connect a tool once at the workspace level, and the app uses that one connection for everyone.Best for a shared account or a data platform, like Slack alerts to your team’s channel, or a dashboard that queries Snowflake.

How connectors work in your app

Once you connect a tool, you can reuse it across pages, flows, and backend functions. In the AI chat, ask Base44 to build pages, tables, dashboards, or automations that read from or write to the connector. When you include a connector in a flow, Base44 creates a backend function in Dashboard → Code → Functions. Open that function to review the generated code. You can edit it yourself or prompt the AI chat to update it. For example:
If you later add a flow that needs extra permissions, you may be asked to review and approve the new actions and permissions for that tool.

Managing connectors

From Integrations in your app’s dashboard, you can view and manage your app’s connectors, review what each can access, and switch, disconnect, or reconnect the connected account per tool as needed. For connectors for app builders, reconnect from Integrations → My integrations. For connectors for app users, each person reconnects their own account from inside your app. To manage a connector:
  1. Go to your app’s dashboard.
  2. Click Integrations.
  3. Click the My integrations tab.
  4. Find the connector.
  5. Click the More actions icon (···) and choose an option:
    • View access to see the connector’s current permissions.
    • Switch account to connect a different account.
    • Reconnect to restore an expired connection.
    • Disconnect to remove the connection from this app.
    • Remove to delete the connector.

Yes. You can connect multiple tools to the same app.
You may need to reconnect if the account was disconnected, its access was revoked, or the connected service requires you to sign in again. For the steps, see Managing connectors above.
