# How do our integrations work?

In the digital world, collaboration is key. That's why we've integrated various APIs into our Societal Labs template to expand its capabilities and provide you with added functionality. These integrations allow you to leverage the services of other platforms, enhancing the user experience and functionality of your own platform.

### Optional and Modular Integrations

All integrations within Societal Labs are completely optional. You have the freedom to choose which ones you want to use and which ones you don't. This flexibility is managed through the backend by accessing specific workflows. Our documentation provides specific details on how to enable or disable specific integrations to ensure you get optimal performance in your platform.

### Free and Paid Services

We've integrated a mix of free and paid services into Societal Labs. Services like HubSpot and Giphy are completely free for you to use, while others may require a paid subscription. This modular approach allows you to decide which integrations you want to use and pay for, giving you control over the functionality and cost of your platform.

### Adding API Keys to the API Connector Plugin

To use these integrations, you'll need to add your API keys to the backend of your platform. Here's how you can do this:

1. Click on the **'Plugins'** tab on the left sidebar menu.
2. Click on the **'API Connector'** plugin.
3. Inside the API Connector plugin, look for the integration of the service you wish to connect. We've labeled all integrations with their respective names to make it easy for you to find what you're looking for.

Please note that some of our integrations won't appear in the API Connector plugin as we've used pre-existing plugins to create these integrations. In such cases, you'll find a note on the docs page for the integration informing you about it.

The following integrations were built using the API Connector:

* Giphy
* TinyPNG
* MailerLite

By integrating these APIs into Societal Labs, we aim to provide you with a flexible, adaptable, and powerful platform that caters to your specific needs and preferences. Whether you're looking to enhance user engagement, streamline operations, or expand your platform's capabilities, our integrations are here to help you achieve your goals.
