# Integrations overview
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Integrations allow you to send data from other products into or out of
|
||
|
|
Zulip. Zulip natively integrates with dozens of products, and with hundreds
|
||
|
|
more through Zapier, IFTTT, and Hubot.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Zulip also makes it very easy to write your own integration, and (if you'd
|
||
|
|
like) to get it merged into the main Zulip repository.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Integrations are one of the most important parts of a group chat tool like
|
||
|
|
Zulip, and we are committed to making integrating with Zulip as easy as
|
||
|
|
possible.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Set up an existing integration
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Most existing integrations send content from a third-party product into
|
||
|
|
Zulip.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Search Zulip's [list of native integrations](/integrations) for the
|
||
|
|
third-party product. Each integration has a page describing how to set it
|
||
|
|
up.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Check if [Zapier](https://zapier.com/apps) has an integration with the
|
||
|
|
product. If it does, follow [these instructions](/integrations/doc/zapier)
|
||
|
|
to set it up.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Check if [IFTTT](https://ifttt.com/search) has an integration with the
|
||
|
|
product. If it does, follow [these instructions](/integrations/doc/ifttt)
|
||
|
|
to set it up.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Check if [Hubot](https://github.com/hubot-scripts) has an integration with
|
||
|
|
the product. If it does, follow
|
||
|
|
[these instructions](/integrations/doc/hubot) to set it up.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* If the product can send email notifications, you can
|
||
|
|
[send those emails to a stream](/help/message-a-stream-by-email).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Write your own integration
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We've put a lot of effort into making this as easy as possible, but all of
|
||
|
|
the options below do require some comfort writing code. If you need an
|
||
|
|
integration and don't have an engineer on staff, reach out to
|
||
|
|
`support@zulipchat.com` and we'll see what we can do.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Sending content into Zulip
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* If the third-party service supports outgoing webhooks, you likely want to
|
||
|
|
build an [incoming webhook integration](/api/incoming-webhooks-overview).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Otherwise, you can
|
||
|
|
[send messages using Zulip's API](/api/send-message).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Sending and receiving content
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* To react to activity inside Zulip, look at Zulip's
|
||
|
|
[Python framework for interactive bots](/api/running-bots) or
|
||
|
|
[Zulip's real-time events API](/api/get-events-from-queue).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* If what you want isn't covered by the above, check out the full
|
||
|
|
[REST API](/api/rest). The web, mobile, desktop, and terminal apps are
|
||
|
|
built on top of this API, so it can do anything a human user can do. Most
|
||
|
|
but not all of the endpoints are documented on this site; if you need
|
||
|
|
something that isn't there check out Zulip's
|
||
|
|
[REST endpoints](https://github.com/zulip/zulip/tree/master/zproject/urls.py)
|
||
|
|
or email `support@zulipchat.com` and we'll help you out.
