# Setting up shared connectors
> Connect your app to popular tools like Google Workspace, BigQuery, Slack, Salesforce, GitHub, and more using secure OAuth connections without managing API keys.
Shared connectors let you securely connect your own accounts (such as your Gmail or Slack) to your Base44 app using OAuth, without managing API keys. Once connected, you can use a tool across pages, flows, and backend functions in your app. Everyone who uses your app shares the same connected account.
**Before you begin:**
* If you want the people who use your app to connect their own accounts instead, see [App user connectors](/Integrations/user-connectors).
* You need a [**Builder plan**](https://base44.com/pricing) or higher to use connectors.

## Adding a connector
You can connect a tool to your app from the **AI chat**, from the homepage when creating an app, or from your app's dashboard. Each option follows the same authorization flow.
### From the AI chat
Base44 suggests connector prompts based on your app's structure, pages, and data to help you get started faster. You can also describe what you want in your own words.
**To connect a tool from the AI chat:**
1. In your app editor, open the **AI chat**.
2. Describe what you want the app to do, for example:
```text theme={null}
Send me a daily email with my to-do list using Gmail.
```
3. Choose **Shared connector** when prompted.
4. Review the **Action required** and **Required permissions**.
5. Click **Connect to \[tool]**.
6. Complete the sign-in authorization.
### From the homepage
You can also add connectors before creating an app from the homepage.
After you send your prompt, Base44 starts building your app and prompts you to connect and approve the selected connectors during the flow.
**To connect a tool when creating an app:**
1. From the homepage, click the **+** menu above the prompt box.
2. Select **Connectors**.
3. Choose one or more connectors.
4. Describe what you want to build.
5. Review the **Action required** and **Required permissions**.
6. Click **Connect to \[tool]**.
7. Complete the sign-in authorization.
Selected connectors appear as chips above the chat input.
### From the dashboard
You can also browse all available connectors from your app dashboard and use ready-made prompts to get started.
**To connect a tool from the dashboard:**
1. Go to your app's dashboard and click **Integrations** → **Browse**.
2. Click **Use** on a connector.
3. Click an example prompt to add it to the **AI chat**, then edit it if needed.
4. Choose **Shared connector** when prompted.
5. Review the **Action required** and **Required permissions**.
6. Click **Connect to \[tool]**.
7. Complete the sign-in authorization.
**Notes:**
* If you click **Skip** in the authorization window, the connector is not added. You can run the connection flow again from the **AI chat** or from **Integrations** → **Browse**.
* Some tools require additional steps on their platform after connecting to your Base44 app.

## Managing connectors
View and manage your app's connectors, review what each can access, and reconnect, switch, or disconnect the connected account per tool as needed.
**To manage your connectors:**
1. Go to your app's dashboard and click **Integrations**.
2. Click the **My integrations** tab.
3. For each connector, choose what you want to do:
* **View access:** Check the permissions granted to the app.
* **More actions:** Reconnect, switch, disconnect, or remove a connected account. Available actions depend on the connector status.
### Reconnecting a shared connector
Reconnect a shared connector if the connected account is disconnected, access is revoked in the connected service, or the connected service asks you to authorize access again.
If you want to use a different account, click the **More actions** icon and choose **Switch account**.
**To reconnect a shared connector:**
1. Go to your app's dashboard and click **Integrations**.
2. Click the **My integrations** tab.
3. Find the connector you want to reconnect.
4. Click the **More actions** icon.
5. Select **Reconnect**.
6. Review the requested permissions and approve access.

## FAQs
Click a question below to learn more about connectors.
You can connect your Base44 app to Gmail, Google Workspace tools, Google Calendar, Google BigQuery, Google Analytics, Slack, Discord, GitHub, Notion, ClickUp, Wrike, Box, Salesforce, HubSpot, LinkedIn, TikTok, and more.
For the full list of available connectors, example prompts, and permissions, see the [Connectors catalog](/Integrations/connectors-catalog).
Yes. You can connect multiple tools to the same app.
Each app uses one account per connector type, for example a single Gmail account for a Gmail connector or a single Slack account for a Slack connector. To connect to a different account, click the **More actions** icon and choose **Switch account**.
If you build a flow that requires additional permissions from a connector you already connected, Base44 prompts you to review and approve the updated permissions for that tool before the flow can run.
Any teammate who can edit the app can connect an external tool. Once connected, all teammates who can edit the app can use the shared connector. People who use your published app interact with data and actions powered by that connector but do not connect their own accounts.
* **Connectors** are managed, OAuth-based connections to popular tools that you can set up from the AI chat or the homepage without handling API keys.
* **Integrations** include custom and manual integrations where you configure API keys and credentials yourself. Use integrations when you need fine-grained control over a specific API or a tool that does not yet have a connector.
You may need to reconnect a shared connector if the connected account is disconnected, access is revoked in the connected service, or the connected service asks you to authorize access again. To reconnect, go to **Integrations** → **My integrations** in your app's dashboard, click the **More actions** icon, and select **Reconnect**.
