# Using Connectors

> How to use connectors in chat to integrate with external services

## What are Connectors

Connectors are features that connect Jinba App with external services. By using connectors in chat, AI can retrieve data from external services or perform operations.

## How to Call Connectors

There are two ways to call connectors: **explicit specification** and **implicit specification**.

### Explicit Specification (@connectorname)

When you want to use a specific connector, type `@connectorname` in your message.

```
@Salesforce Please get this month's deals list
```

<Steps>
  <Step title="Type @">
    When you type `@` in the message input field, a list of available connectors appears.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select a Connector">
    Click the connector you want to use from the suggestion list, or type the connector name.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter Your Message">
    After the connector name, enter what you want to do.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Send">
    When you send the message, the specified connector will be used.
  </Step>
</Steps>

### Implicit Specification (AI Auto-selection)

Even without explicitly specifying a connector, AI may automatically select an appropriate connector based on your question.

```
Show me this month's deals list
```

In this case, AI automatically selects the Salesforce connector based on the keyword "deals" and retrieves the data.

<Note>
  With implicit specification, AI determines the best connector. If the intended connector is not selected, please specify it explicitly.
</Note>

## Using Multiple Connectors

You can specify multiple connectors in a single message.

```
Please cross-reference the deal data from @Salesforce with the list in @Google Sheets
```

## Connector Execution Results

When a connector is executed, its results are displayed in the chat.

* Contents of retrieved data
* Results of executed operations
* Error messages if an error occurred

## Checking Available Connectors

You can check currently available connectors in [My Connectors](/en/pages/jinba_app/connectors/my-connectors). To add new connectors, use the [Connector Management screen](/en/pages/jinba_app/connectors/overview).

## Troubleshooting

  <Accordion title="Connector not found">

    * Verify the connector name spelling is correct
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Connector execution fails">
    * Check if the connector connection is valid
    * Verify you have the necessary permissions
    * Try [re-authenticating](/en/pages/jinba_app/connectors/manage-connectors) the connection
  </Accordion>
