Connectors are distributable packages that provide simplistic integration functionality for an application/service and connect to third-party tools.

## When to Use Connectors

- You need to integrate with a third-party product or service.
- You want to reuse the same actions across multiple playbooks.
- You want supported, prebuilt actions instead of custom code.

## Before You Start

- Ensure you have the vendor credentials (API keys, tokens, or service accounts).
- Confirm network access to the vendor endpoint (if required).
- Decide whether you will use an existing asset or create a new one.

## Homepage

To access playbooks, follow these steps:

1. Log in to **Turbine**.
2. From the left-hand navigation pane, click **ORCHESTRATION** and click **Connectors**.

From the Connectors homepage, a list of existing connectors and their associated actions show sorted alphabetically. You can use the features listed in the table to navigate the assets homepage for a faster and easier experience.

| Feature        | Function                               |
| -------------- | -------------------------------------- |
| Filter by name | Use to filter by asset name            |
| Plus icon      | Find a connector or Upload a connector |
| Ellipsis icon  | Click to delete a connector            |

Also, each connector shows if there is an update available or if it's up to date. If there is an update, click the Update Available hyperlink, then the Swimlane Content opens for that connector. Click the Update button to download.

## Find a Connector

1. Click the **plus** icon.
