# Manage connected tools

### After setting up an [Integration](/streamly/concepts/integration.md) with a [tool](/streamly/reference/integrations/tools.md), you can connect one or more [Streams](/streamly/reference/streams.md) to that tool.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Before connecting a tool to a **Stream**, an **Integration** with the tool must exist.
{% endhint %}

#### Connecting a Stream to a component in a tool offers the following features:

* [**Requests**](/streamly/concepts/request.md) post as tasks in the connected tool component and relevant fields are populated.
* Changes made to **Request** fields are reflected in each connected tool component.
* **Conflicts** in the `Status`, `Due date`, and `Assignee` fields due to changes made in tools are resolved in the private [**team**](/streamly/reference/streams/modify/team.md) channel for the **Stream**.
* Thread replies on the **Request** messages are posted as comments on the tasks in connected tool components.

  > This includes uploaded files and edits made to thread replies.

####

#### To connect a tool to a Stream, select :electric\_plug:`Manage connected tools` from the overflow menu (<img src="/files/-M9jiC-hBUmQLo6YZeMn" alt="" data-size="line">) in the **Streams** section of the app home.

{% hint style="info" %}
Each **Stream** can have one connection to each integrated tool.

The point of connection for a **Stream** in a tool is referred to as an **integration component**.

> e.g. **Projects** in [**Asana**](/streamly/reference/streams/modify/tools/asana.md) or **Sheets** in [**Smartsheet**](/streamly/reference/streams/modify/tools/smartsheet.md)
> {% endhint %}

#### Choose a tool from the menu in the modal to begin the setup process. &#x20;
