# How to Set Up and Connect Integrations in the Google App

> Learn how to connect the Google app with calendars, Slack, Google Drive, Zapier, email, and other popular tools in a few simple steps.

Connecting an integration takes just a few steps. This guide walks you through the setup for each supported integration category.

## General connection steps

For most integrations, the process is the same:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Integration Settings">
    Go to **Settings → Integrations** and find the integration you want to connect.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click Connect">
    Click the **Connect** button next to the integration name.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Authorize access">
    You'll be redirected to the external service to log in and grant permissions. Review the requested permissions and click **Allow** or **Authorize**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure the integration">
    Once connected, configure which projects or items the integration applies to (if applicable).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Test the connection">
    Perform a quick test — for example, create an item and check that it appears in your connected calendar or sends a Slack notification.
  </Step>
</Steps>

If you need a custom integration, you can use the REST API to read and write data programmatically.

**To get your API key:**

2. Click **Generate API Key**.
3. Copy the key and store it securely.

<Warning>Never share your API key publicly or commit it to source control. Treat it like a password.</Warning>

Send requests with your API key in the `Authorization` header:

```http theme={null}
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY
```

For full API documentation, contact your account team or visit the developer portal linked in **Settings → API**.

## Disconnecting an integration

To disconnect any integration:

1. Go to **Settings → Integrations**.
2. Click **Disconnect** next to the integration.
3. Confirm the action.

Disconnecting removes the app's access but does not delete any data already synced.
