# Connect & automate

Connectors, Slack, computers, and triggers reach outside a project.

Canonical page: https://kortix.com/docs/connect

A project reaches outside itself four ways. A connector calls an external
tool. A channel starts a session from chat. A computer connects the agent to
your own machine. A trigger starts a session with no person present.

- [Connectors](/docs/connect/connectors): Give the agent scoped, brokered access to external tools and APIs.
- [Slack & channels](/docs/connect/slack): Start and continue a session from a Slack or Teams message.
- [Computers](/docs/connect/computers): Connect your own machine to the agent through a permissioned tunnel.
- [Triggers](/docs/connect/triggers): Start a session automatically, on a schedule or from a webhook.
