# Connect apps

> Connect email, calendars and CRMs once for your whole workspace, so your agents can act through them during conversations.

The **Apps** page (in the sidebar under **Configure**) is where you connect the apps your agents act through — email, calendars, CRMs. One connection covers your whole workspace: connect an app once, and any agent can use it wherever its [journeys](/building/journeys) call for it — sending a confirmation email, say, or booking a meeting in your calendar, right in the middle of a conversation.

<Note>
  Only workspace admins can connect or disconnect apps. If you need an app connected and don't have admin access, ask one of your [workspace's admins](/workspace/members).
</Note>

## What you'll see

Each app appears as a card showing its name, how many actions it offers, and its connection status:

* **Connected** — the app is ready for your agents to use.
* **Waiting for sign-in…** — you've started connecting but haven't finished signing in yet.
* **Needs reconnecting** — the connection has stopped working. Click **Reconnect** to sign in again.
* **Not connected** — an agent uses this app, but nobody has connected it yet.

Some Moneypenny apps show **Included — managed for you** instead. There's nothing to connect — Moneypenny looks after these for you, and they appear on the list once one of your agents uses them.

The page only lists apps that matter to your workspace: ones your agents use (marked **Used by your agents**) and ones you've connected. Everything else stays behind the **Add app** button, so the list never fills with apps you don't care about.

## Connect an app

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Apps and click Add app">
    Go to **Configure → Apps** and click **Add app**. Browse the list and click **Connect** next to the app you want. If the app is already on your page — because an agent uses it — click **Connect** on its card instead.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Sign in or paste your credentials">
    Most apps open a sign-in window — sign in to your account with that app and approve the connection. A few apps ask you to paste credentials from your account with them instead; these are stored securely and never shown again.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Watch the card flip to Connected">
    While you're signing in, the card shows **Waiting for sign-in…**. Once you finish, it changes to **Connected** on its own — no refresh needed. The app now stays on your Apps list, even before an agent uses it (you'll see **Not used by an agent yet** until one does).
  </Step>
</Steps>

Once an app is connected, you decide where agents use it by building it into their [journeys](/building/journeys) — connecting an app doesn't change what your agents do by itself.

## Disconnect an app

On the app's card, click **Disconnect** and confirm. Any actions in your agents that use the app will stop working until you reconnect it, so check which agents rely on it first — the card's **Used by your agents** hint tells you it's in use.
