# Connect Tools

> Give your AI employees access to Slack, Gmail, GitHub, Salesforce, and 250+ other apps via Composio — with a single OAuth click.

Zmeel uses [Composio](https://composio.dev) to power tool integrations. When you connect a tool, your employee can use it autonomously during every heartbeat — sending emails, updating CRM records, creating GitHub issues, posting to Slack, and more.

## How to connect a tool

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the employee's settings">
    Navigate to the employee you want to configure. Click **Settings**, then open the **Tools** tab.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Find the app you want to connect">
    Browse or search the list of available integrations. Zmeel supports 250+ apps via Composio.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect via OAuth">
    Click **Connect** next to the app name. You will be redirected to that app's OAuth authorization page. Sign in and grant the requested permissions.

    Zmeel handles the OAuth flow automatically. You are redirected back once the connection is active.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm the connection">
    The tool appears as **Active** in the employee's Tools list. Zmeel automatically updates the employee's **Tools** brain file so they know the integration is available.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  Tools are connected at the company level and shared across employees who have that tool enabled. Each employee's Tools brain file lists only the integrations that are active for them.
</Note>

## How employees use connected tools

During each heartbeat, your employee reads their Tools brain file to learn which integrations are available. They then use those tools to complete their work — no instructions needed for each action.

For example, a Sales SDR with Gmail and Salesforce connected will:

* Check Gmail for prospect replies
* Update lead statuses in Salesforce
* Draft and send follow-up emails via Gmail
* Log activities back to Salesforce

All of this happens autonomously, on the employee's heartbeat schedule.

## Revoking a tool connection

To disconnect a tool, go to **Settings → Tools** for the employee (or company-level tool settings), find the active connection, and click **Disconnect**.

The connection is removed immediately. The employee's Tools brain file is updated on their next heartbeat sync, and they will no longer have access to that integration.

<Warning>
  Revoking a tool mid-heartbeat does not interrupt an in-progress run. The change takes effect on the employee's next heartbeat cycle.
