# Embedded Integrations

## **What Are Customer-Facing Integrations?**

Customer-facing integrations let you add Fastn-powered automations right into your own app, so your users can connect to tools like Shopify, Slack, or HubSpot without ever leaving your platform.

These integrations are designed for **your customers** to use; no need for them to sign in to Fastn directly.

## Why Built-In Integrations Matter

With such customer-facing integrations, you can:

* Make automation feel like a built-in part of your app.
* Let users connect their own accounts (e.g. Shopify stores) with one click.
* Run background workflows on their behalf, fast and securely.
* Deliver powerful features without building from scratch.

## **The Fastn Advantage**

* **No Backend Changes Required**\
  Integrate workflows without modifying your existing infrastructure.
* **Fully Customizable UI**\
  Match the look and feel of your app with flexible styling options.
* **Connect to Popular Apps**\
  Seamlessly integrate with platforms like Slack, Jira, Shopify, Gmail, and many more.
* **Enterprise-Grade Security**\
  Fastn manages authentication, permissions, and data flow securely and reliably

## **How It Works (Behind the Scenes)**

1. **Create a Flow**\
   Design powerful workflows in Fastn, such as exporting products, syncing data, or triggering updates across systems.
2. **Connect a Widget**\
   Attach your flow to a prebuilt, customizable UI widget ready to be embedded anywhere.
3. **Embed in Your App**\
   Drop the widget into your app using a simple script tag or iframe, no complex setup required.
4. **Let Users Take Action**\
   Your users authenticate securely, trigger flows directly from your app, and Fastn handles the rest.
