Workflows are most useful when they’re hooked up to tools you already use. Connect once, then reference the integration from any workflow.
#What an integration does
An integration is a secure connection between Rills and an external service. Once connected, your workflows can:
- Use events from the service as triggers (a new email, a Stripe charge, a Slack message).
- Read data from the service inside AI steps and conditions.
- Take actions in the service (send email, create calendar event, update CRM record).
You only grant the access you authorize. You can revoke anytime.
#Connect one
- Click Integrations in the sidebar to open the catalog.
- Pick a service, Rills supports 100+ tools across communication, CRM, payments, productivity, e-commerce, and more.
- Click Connect. For OAuth services (Google, Slack, Stripe, etc.) you’ll log in to the service and authorize. For API-key services, paste the key from the service’s developer settings.
- Once connected, the integration shows up in the workflow builder as triggers and actions.
You can connect multiple accounts for the same service (personal Gmail + work Gmail, two Stripe accounts): each is independent.
#Where to start
Pick something concrete. Good first integrations:
- Gmail: triage incoming email, draft replies, file follow-ups
- Slack: post summaries, route notifications, ask the team
- Stripe: react to charges, refunds, or new subscriptions
- Notion or Google Sheets: log workflow output for review later
If your service isn’t in the catalog, Business and Enterprise plans support custom integrations that connect to any REST API.
