# Connect the apps your work depends on

Connected apps let teammates use the actions exposed by an account, such as retrieving information or updating a supported service. Available apps and actions are shown in the app catalog.

## Connect an account

1. Open the apps or plugins panel and choose the app.
2. Follow its connection flow and finish sign-in.
3. Return to the app details and confirm the account says **Connected**.
4. Expand **Available actions** to see what that account can do.

A teammate can also present a connection card when your task needs an app that is not ready.

## Use multiple accounts

Select **Connect another account** to add a second account for the same app. Give accounts recognizable names, such as “Company GitHub” and “Personal GitHub.” State which account a task should use.

Accounts are managed individually. If one needs attention, inspect that account's status; another working account for the same app can still be used. **Disconnect this account** affects the selected account.

## Start with a concrete request

> **Try this**
> Use my connected company account to find the documents for the onboarding project. List the matching documents and their dates before drafting a summary.

If an expected action is missing, inspect **Available actions** and the connection status. A successful sign-in does not add operations that the app connection does not support.
