## Overview

Connectors link QwenWork to external services. After authorization, the Agent can read information or perform supported actions within the permissions granted by the user.

## Common Use Cases

- Retrieve information from external business systems
- Work with collaboration, project management, or knowledge services
- Collect and organize information across systems
- Give scheduled tasks access to a consistent external data source

## Entry Points

Browse available services in the connector marketplace, or open the connector selector from the session composer.

## Core Capabilities

### Browse Connectors

The marketplace shows services suitable for international use, including the service name, purpose, authorization type, and connection state.

### Install

Installing a connector adds the capability to the active workspace. Installation alone does not grant access to an external account.

### Authorize an Account

For services that require identity authorization, the user signs in to the external service and approves the requested access. The connector becomes usable only after successful authorization.

### Enable in a Session

Enable a connected service for a specific task. The Agent invokes it when needed and returns the information or operation result to the session.

### Manage Connections

Review connection status, reauthorize an expired connection, or disconnect an account. Once disconnected, the Agent can no longer use that authorization.

## End-to-End Flow

1. Select and install a connector.
2. Complete external account authorization when required.
3. Confirm that the connector is connected.
4. Enable it in a session and describe the goal.
5. The Agent uses the service within the authorized scope.
6. Results are returned to the session.
7. Disconnect the account at any time.

## Key Rules

- Only connectors appropriate for international use are displayed.
- The DingTalk connector is not shown in the international edition.
- Installation, account authorization, and session enablement are separate actions.
- The Agent can access only the data and actions included in the authorization.
- Expired permissions or external account changes may require reauthorization.
- Connections are scoped to a workspace, so availability may change when switching workspaces.
