# Build

- [Build](https://docs.fastn.ai/build/build.md): Everything that defines how an integration behaves.
- [Agent](https://docs.fastn.ai/build/agent.md): The chat-driven builder that picks connectors, drafts workflows and shows you the diff.
- [Approval mode](https://docs.fastn.ai/build/agent/approval-mode.md): How far the agent goes without checking in: Auto versus Manual.
- [Worked example](https://docs.fastn.ai/build/agent/worked-example.md): A real HubSpot-to-Google-Sheets build, from plain-words prompt to bound trigger.
- [Connectors](https://docs.fastn.ai/build/connectors.md): Every system your customers can authorise: managed, imported or built by you.
- [The catalogue](https://docs.fastn.ai/build/connectors/the-catalogue.md): How the connector catalogue reads: badges, filters, card anatomy, and the counts that mislead.
- [Inside a connector](https://docs.fastn.ai/build/connectors/inside-a-connector.md): The three-pane connector detail view and its five tabs.
- [Connect a system](https://docs.fastn.ai/build/connectors/connect-a-system.md): Making a connection, from picking the connector to confirming it landed.
- [Action detail](https://docs.fastn.ai/build/connectors/action-detail.md): The seven tabs behind a single action, and how platform-owned actions differ.
- [Creating a connector](https://docs.fastn.ai/build/connectors/creating-a-connector.md): The Create connector dialog: identity, connection and authentication in one place.
- [Importing and exporting](https://docs.fastn.ai/build/connectors/importing-and-exporting.md): Moving connector definitions in and out as JSON.
- [Unified APIs](https://docs.fastn.ai/build/unified-apis.md): One canonical endpoint per business entity, served by whichever providers your customers connect.
- [Inside a category](https://docs.fastn.ai/build/unified-apis/inside-a-category.md): Opening a category: entities, connection state, providers and endpoints.
- [Unified vs direct](https://docs.fastn.ai/build/unified-apis/unified-vs-direct.md): When to reach for a unified API and when to call the connector directly.
- [Connections](https://docs.fastn.ai/build/connections.md): Authenticated links between your customers and their systems.
- [Statuses](https://docs.fastn.ai/build/connections/statuses.md): What Active, Inactive, Expired and Failed mean, and what to do about each.
- [Auth types](https://docs.fastn.ai/build/connections/auth-types.md): The two shapes a connection's credential takes: OAuth and Custom/INPUT.
- [Inside a connection](https://docs.fastn.ai/build/connections/inside-a-connection.md): The four sections of a connection's detail view.
- [Creating a connection](https://docs.fastn.ai/build/connections/creating-a-connection.md): Making a connection yourself with New connection, and when to.
- [Workflows](https://docs.fastn.ai/build/workflows.md): The code that runs on a trigger, a schedule, or an agent call.
- [The editor](https://docs.fastn.ai/build/workflows/the-editor.md): The workflow editor walked through tab by tab, plus the configuration panel reference.
- [The tabs](https://docs.fastn.ai/build/workflows/the-tabs.md): Every tool tab in the editor: Test, Connectors, Contract, Diagram, Test cases, Executions, Sync reports, API and Docs.
- [Lifecycle](https://docs.fastn.ai/build/workflows/lifecycle.md): How a workflow goes from draft to deployed, review gates, and code-off workspaces.
- [Triggers](https://docs.fastn.ai/build/triggers.md): What starts a workflow: an inbound webhook, a schedule, or an event from a connected system.
- [Webhook triggers](https://docs.fastn.ai/build/triggers/webhooks.md): A trigger that fires when another system calls a URL you give it.
- [Schedule triggers](https://docs.fastn.ai/build/triggers/schedulers.md): A trigger that fires on a clock you set.
- [App event triggers](https://docs.fastn.ai/build/triggers/app-events.md): A trigger that fires when something changes in a connected system.
- [Pending updates](https://docs.fastn.ai/build/connector-updates.md): Vendor changes to the integrations you use, and the fixes proposed for them. Nothing is applied until you accept it.
- [MCP gateway](https://docs.fastn.ai/build/mcp-gateway.md): Letting an AI client reach your connectors as tools.
- [Common patterns](https://docs.fastn.ai/build/patterns.md): The handful of workflow shapes that come up again and again.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.fastn.ai/build.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
