# Connecting Apps

Connectors in Fastn let you connect your flows with external apps, APIs, and databases, turning your automations into powerful, integrated systems. They act as bridges that move data in and out of Fastn securely and efficiently.

> From prebuilt community connectors like Slack, Google Docs, and Notion to workspace-level custom connectors, Fastn makes integration seamless.
>
> You can manage authentication, add new endpoints, or even build your own connectors with HTTP APIs, gRPC, or database functions.
