# Integration Overview

**Transform isolated tools into intelligent, living ecosystems that learn, adapt, and evolve together.**

{% hint style="success" %}
**Living Integrations** go beyond static connections—they create intelligent relationships between systems that learn from data flow patterns, adapt to changing business needs, and continuously optimize performance. Your connected tools become a living ecosystem that works smarter with every interaction.

## Integrations in Taskade

Integrations connect Taskade to the tools you already use. They run through Automations using **triggers** (events) and **actions** (what happens next).

If you want the bigger model, start with [Workspace DNA](/platform/workspace-dna.md).

### What you can do

* **Notify and route work**: Slack/Teams alerts, assignments, escalations.
* **Sync data**: push form submissions into a CRM, write rows to Sheets, create tickets.
* **Move faster**: auto-create tasks, summaries, follow-ups, and reports.
* **Close loops**: trigger workflows from app events and write results back into projects.

### Typical workflows

* Lead capture → qualify → create CRM record → notify team
* Support email/webhook → categorize → create ticket → assign owner
* Schedule trigger → generate report → send to stakeholders

### Quick start

1. Connect a tool from the Integrations screen.
2. Create an automation with a trigger + action.
3. Test with real data.

Start here:

* [Automation Getting Started](/automations/automation.md)
* [Actions & Triggers](/automations/automation/actions.md)
* [Integration Options](/automations/automation/integrations.md)

## Popular Integrations

Most teams start with:

* Communication: Slack, Microsoft Teams, email
* Productivity: Google Workspace, Microsoft 365
* Data: Google Sheets, Airtable
* CRM: HubSpot, Salesforce
* Dev: GitHub, Jira

Full list and setup details: [Integration Options](/automations/automation/integrations.md)

## Advanced Integration Patterns

Start with one trigger and one outcome. Then add steps and branches.

Common patterns:

* Form submission → qualify → create CRM record → notify Slack
* Support email/webhook → categorize → create ticket → assign owner
* Schedule trigger → generate report → send digest

See the full building blocks:

* [Automation Getting Started](/automations/automation.md)
* [Actions & Triggers](/automations/automation/actions.md)

## Integration Best Practices

Keep these four things tight:

* **Scope**: grant the minimum permissions you need.
* **Test**: run with real data, not placeholders.
* **Handle failures**: decide what to do when an API call fails.
* **Observe**: monitor errors and retries for critical workflows.

## Custom Integration Development

Don’t see your tool? Use HTTP requests/webhooks or the Taskade API.

Start here:

* [Developer Overview](/apis-and-developer/developer-home/developers.md)
* [Actions & Triggers](/automations/automation/actions.md)

## Getting Started with Integrations

### Planning Your Integration Strategy

Keep it simple:

1. Pick one workflow you want to automate end-to-end.
2. Choose one trigger and one destination tool.
3. Add steps only after the core path works.

### Implementation Checklist

* ✅ Connect the integration
* ✅ Build one automation
* ✅ Test with real data
* ✅ Add notifications for failure cases
