# Adding Your First Connection

> Connect a tool or service so your Righthand can start working with it

## Overview

Once you've hired a Righthand, the next step is to give it access to the tools it needs. Connections let your Righthand interact with services like Google Workspace, Slack, HubSpot, GitHub, and more.

## Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have:

* An active Righthand on your team
* Access to the third-party account you want to connect

## Adding a Connection

<Steps>
  <Step title="Go to the Add More page">
    Navigate to the [Add More](https://teams.righthand.ai/connections/add-more) page in the Righthand platform. You'll see all available integrations — browse or use the search bar to find the service you need.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Select a service and authorize">
    Click on the service you want to connect. You'll be redirected to the service's login page to sign in and authorize access.

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure permissions">
    Once connected, you can configure:

    * **Connection scope** — who owns this connection (Personal, Righthand, or Team)
    * **Righthand access** — which Righthands can use it
    * **Tool permissions** — what each Righthand is allowed to do with it

    See [Connection Permissions](/guides/add-a-connection) for a full breakdown of these settings.

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="You're connected">
    Your Righthand now has access to the service and can start using it based on the permissions you've set.
  </Step>
