Integration Guide
Connect your AI agent to thousands of apps and services to create powerful automated workflows.
How Integrations Work
Conversation
Agent collects information
Tool Triggered
Based on instructions
External System
Process & respond
Bi-directional flow: Your agent can both send data to and receive data from external systems in real-time
Why Integrate?
Your AI agent is powerful on its own, but when connected to your existing tools and systems, it becomes a true automation powerhouse. Integrations allow your agent to:
Access Real-Time Data
Pull information from your databases, CRMs, and other systems during conversations.
Automate Workflows
Trigger actions across multiple platforms based on conversation outcomes.
Sync Information
Keep all your systems updated with the latest customer interactions.
