# 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;

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://happybara.gitbook.io/streamly/reference/streams/modify/tools.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
