# Connectors overview

> Connect your app to popular tools like Google Workspace, Slack, Salesforce, GitHub, Snowflake, and Databricks using managed integrations.

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.

<Note>
  You need a [**Builder plan**](https://base44.com/pricing) or higher to use connectors.

## 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.

<Tip>
  Need more control over a specific API? Use a [custom integration](/documentation/integrations/using-custom-integrations).
</Tip>

## Connector types

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

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Connectors for app users" icon="user">
    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.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Connectors for app builders" icon="users-gear">
    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.

You can also tell the **AI chat** what you want to connect and how you want to use it, and get relevant suggestions based on your app's structure, pages, and data.

To browse the full list with categories and example prompts, see the [connectors catalog](/Integrations/connectors-catalog).

## 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:

```text theme={null}
Send a Slack message to #product-updates when this function runs.
```

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.
