# Add a Connector to an External App With the Guided Wizard

Connect to an external app by using the guided connection wizard.

1. Open the Automation app.
2. From the Automation - Home tab, select a connector icon under **Top Integrations**.
3. Select a template.
    
    Depending on the app, you see multiple template options or just one.
4. In the Get Started and Set the Connection steps of the connection wizard, enter authentication details for your external app, such as URL, protocol, and API key.
5. In the Configure the Flow step of the connection wizard, enter your field details. You can also create custom fields if needed.
6. Review your new flow and select **Connect**.
    
    The connection wizard generates your flow and saves it.

Note You can save a limited number of flows. See the Considerations section in [Integration Basics for Salesforce Suites](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=xcloud.connect_external_apps.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Salesforce Suites is built on a simple idea: Your business runs smoother when everything you need lives under one roof, especially your data. But what about the external apps your business relies on, like accounting and project management tools? Salesforce prebuilt integrations bridge that gap by bringing your external app data into your Suites workspace and eliminating siloed data.").
