# Third-Party Integrations

> Connect Essal to Slack, Zapier, Make, and other tools through the integrations marketplace.

Essal's integrations marketplace provides pre-built connectors to popular business tools. Connectors are configured through the dashboard without writing code and use the Essal API and webhook system under the hood.

## Installing a Connector

1. Go to **Settings → Integrations → Marketplace**
2. Search for the connector you want
3. Click **Install** and follow the OAuth or API key setup steps
4. Configure event filters and field mappings

## Slack Connector Example

After installing the Slack connector, configure which events post to which channels:

```json theme={null}
{
  "connector": "slack",
  "rules": [
    {
      "event": "sales.deal.won",
      "channel": "#wins",
      "message_template": "🎉 {{actor.name}} closed {{payload.title}} for {{payload.value | currency}}"
    },
    {
      "event": "guard.alert.triggered",
      "channel": "#security-alerts",
      "min_severity": "high"
    }
  ]
}
```

## Zapier Integration

The Essal Zapier app supports:

* **Triggers**: New document, deal stage changed, application submitted, task completed, alert triggered
* **Actions**: Create contact, create task, post document, move deal stage

Find the Essal app in the Zapier app directory by searching for "Essal".

## Building a Custom Connector

If your tool is not in the marketplace, use the [Webhooks](/integrations/webhooks) and [OAuth Apps](/integrations/oauth-apps) guides to build a custom integration. The Essal API is RESTful and compatible with any HTTP client or automation platform.
