| | Integrations are tools that extend {% data variables.product.github %} functionality by allowing you to connect your {% data variables.product.github %} account with other applications and services, enabling you to streamline your workflow and enhance collaboration. |
| |
|
| | With integrations, you can automate tasks, receive notifications, and access {% data variables.product.github %} features directly from your favorite tools. Integrations can also do things outside of {% data variables.product.company_short %} based on events that happen on {% data variables.product.company_short %}. For example, an integration can post on Slack when an issue is opened on {% data variables.product.company_short %}. |
| | |
| | You can discover many integrations in [{% data variables.product.prodname_marketplace %}](https://github.com/marketplace). {% data variables.product.prodname_marketplace %} includes {% data variables.product.prodname_github_apps %}, {% data variables.product.prodname_oauth_apps %}, and custom actions that you can use in {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %} workflows. You can also get integrations directly from the integration creator. |
| | |
| | For a list of featured {% data variables.product.company_short %} integrations, see [AUTOTITLE](/integrations/concepts/featured-github-integrations). |
| |
|
| | >[!NOTE] The {% data variables.product.github %} docs site only provides documentation for a selected set of integrations. For more information about an integration not documented on the {% data variables.product.github %} docs site, see the documentation provided by the integration creator. |

| | If you want your {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %} instance to use a third-party {% data variables.product.prodname_github_app %}, you can contact the app developer about making the {% data variables.product.prodname_github_app %} available for {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %}. For more information, see [AUTOTITLE](/apps/sharing-github-apps/making-your-github-app-available-for-github-enterprise-server). |
| |
|
| | If you want your {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %} instance to use third-party custom actions, you need to enable {% data variables.product.prodname_github_connect %}. For more information, see [AUTOTITLE](/admin/github-actions/managing-access-to-actions-from-githubcom/enabling-automatic-access-to-githubcom-actions-using-github-connect). |
