# Setting up Connections

## Setting up Connections

Connections brings your workspace's channels and apps together. Find your phone numbers and Inboxes, and the directory of third-party tools.

## Open Connections

Open Connections in the sidebar. Phone and Inboxes are your own channels; Manage opens App Connections, where third-party tools live.

## Browse the directory

The Active tab lists what is already connected — nothing yet here. The Directory shows the apps and tools you can add, each with a short description.

## Review before you connect

Choose Add on a card, and a confirmation names the app and what it does. Nothing connects until you choose Add again.

## Review before you connect

Open Connections to manage phone numbers and inboxes, or browse the app directory. Review the connection details before you continue. Find the steps at docs.gravityrail.com.
