title: Integrations overview
sidebar_label: Overview
---
There are two main types of integrations with authentik: **Applications** and **Sources**.
## What is an integration?
## Applications
An integration is a how authentik connects to third-party applications, directories, and other identity providers.
Integrations are categorized into two categories: **Applications** and **Sources**.
authentik integrates with many applications. For a full list, and to learn more about adding documentation for a new application, refer to the [Applications](../integrations/services/index.mdx) documentation
### Applications
## Sources
Applications include vendor tools such as Google Workspace, GitHub, Slack, or AWS. These applications can be integrated with authentik to provide single sign-on capabilities to securely authenticate users.
In addition to applications, authentik also integrates with external sources, including federated directories like Active Directory and through protocols such as LDAP, OAuth, SAML, and SCIM sources. Sources are a way for authentik to use external credentials for authentication and verification. Sources in authentik can also be used for social logins, using external providers such as Facebook, Twitter, etc.
If you want to integrate an application that isn't listed, authentik can be configured to work with most applications that support authentication protocols such as [SAML](../docs/add-secure-apps/providers/saml), [OAuth and OpenID Connect](../docs/add-secure-apps/providers/oauth2).
To learn more, refer to the [Sources](https://docs.goauthentik.io/docs/users-sources/sources/index) documentation.
To learn more, refer to the [Applications](../integrations/services) page.
### Federated and social sources
Sources are a way for authentik to use external user credentials for authentication. Supported integrations with external sources via authentik include federated directories like Active Directory and social logins such as Facebook, Twitter, etc. These integrations support all major protocols, including [LDAP](../docs/users-sources/sources/protocols/ldap), [SCIM](../docs/users-sources/sources/protocols/scim), [SAML](../docs/users-sources/sources/protocols/saml), and [OAuth and OpenID Connect](../docs/users-sources/sources/protocols/oauth)
To learn more, refer to the [Sources](../docs/users-sources/sources) page.
