# What is an Integration?

### [**Integrations**](/streamly/reference/integrations.md) **are workspace-wide; only one can be configured per** [**tool**](/streamly/reference/integrations/tools.md)**.**

{% hint style="warning" %}
When an **Integration** is configured, the **user** who is **logged into the tool** will need access to **every** **component** of the tool that any user wishes to connect to a [**Stream**](/streamly/concepts/stream.md) in the future.
{% endhint %}

* **Streamly** will assume the **identity** of this **user** for its activity in the tool.

  > e.g. **Request** submissions, modifications, comments, attached files (in **all Streams)**
* The **user logged into the tool** when the integration was configured will get **notifications** about all of **Streamly's** activity in the tool unless settings are changed.

  > e.g. **Request** submissions, modifications, comments, attached files (in **all Streams)**

{% hint style="info" %}
For these reasons, we **strongly** recommend setting up tool **Integrations** with a [**service user**](/streamly/concepts/service-user.md).
