# Connections
The **Connections** option in ZBrain Flows enables you to integrate and manage external applications and services, allowing them to be reused across **Flows, apps** and **Agents**. By establishing these integrations once, you streamline automation workflows, with already created credential details, and reduce repetitive setup tasks for each use case.
### Accessing connections
To access Connections, click “**Flows”** and then click “**Connections”** on the left panel.
From this screen, you can:
* View a list of all existing connections
* Add new connections to available enterprise systems
* Replace, rename or remove existing connections
* Check the connection status in real time
### **Key components in the Connections list**
The **Connections** table displays the following columns:
| Column | Description |
| ---------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **App** | Displays the application or service name (e.g., Google Drive, Google Docs, Salesforce). |
| **Connection Name** | User-defined or system-generated name for the connection. |
| **Last Updated** | Date and time when the connection credentials were last updated or refreshed. |
| **Status** | Indicates if the connection is active (✔) or requires attention. |
| **Actions Menu** (`⋯`) | Options to replace, rename, or remove the connection. |
### **Adding a new connection**
1. Click **'Add Connection'** in the top right corner.
2. Search or browse the list of supported systems (e.g., Google Docs, Google Drive, Google Sheets, Google Calendar, Salesforce).
3. Select the desired application.
4. Enter a **Connection Name** (for easy identification in Flows/Agents).
5. Authenticate by following the app-specific sign-in or authorization process.
6. Save the connection.
Once added, the connection appears in the **Connections** list and can be used in any Flow or Agent without reconfiguration.
### **Editing an existing connection**
* Click the (`...`) next to the connection.
* Update the connection name (rename) or reauthenticate credentials (replace) if the status indicates an error. Alternatively, delete the connection if it is no longer needed.
* Save changes to keep the connection active and up to date.
