Connect the apps a plugin needs
Connect the apps a plugin's skills depend on during setup.
Intermediate · ~10 min · Prerequisites: a plugin mid-setup
What you'll do
Understand why a plugin needs connectors, complete the OAuth authorization for each required app, and confirm the connections are in place.
Why a plugin needs connectors
A plugin's skills act inside real apps — sending email, creating calendar events, posting to Slack, and so on. To do that, each skill needs an authorized connection to the relevant app. The plugin declares which connectors are required, and the setup wizard surfaces them for you in one place.
For a broader look at how connectors work across the platform, see the Connecting apps reference.
Connect from the wizard
During plugin setup, the wizard lists each required connector. Work through them in order: click Connect next to an app to start its authorization flow. The wizard keeps track of which connections are done and which still need attention.
If you exit the wizard before finishing, you can return to the plugin in the Plugins tab and resume. The skills the wizard already copied into Mine are preserved; only the unfinished connector step remains.
Authorize each app
Each app opens its own OAuth consent screen. Grant the permissions the plugin requests, then return to the wizard. A confirmation indicator shows that the connection is live.
Some apps require you to be signed in to that app's account before the OAuth screen loads. If the screen does not appear, check that you are logged in to the app in another tab and try again.
What if a connector is already linked
If you have previously connected an app — through another plugin setup or from your account settings — the wizard recognizes the existing connection and skips that step. You do not need to re-authorize.
If the existing connection is broken or expired, the wizard flags it and prompts you to re-authorize. Complete the OAuth flow again to refresh it.
Connections you authorize here are specific to your account. Other members of your organization set up their own connections when they set up the same plugin.
