# Connect a plugin's apps and use its suggested settings

A plugin's page lists the apps it works with, each with Connect, and its suggested Ask first settings. It also creates its pages and sets up its tasks when you ask.

Open a plugin from **Customization** → **Plugins** to see its page.

## Apps

Each app shows one of these:

- **Connected.** Nothing to do.
- **Connect** (or **Sign in again**). Opens the app's usual sign-in in a new tab. When you come back, the page updates.
- **Needs Pro.** Popular and custom connectors need Pro in a personal workspace.
- **Turned off in this workspace.** Ask an owner or admin to turn the app on in the workspace's integrations.
- **Not in Bluedeer's list.** An uploaded plugin named a connector Bluedeer doesn't know. Select **Add as a custom connector** and add it with the address shown.

Apps marked **optional** add more to the plugin's skills, but the skills work without them. A plugin shows **Needs setup** in Yours while an app it needs is not connected.

Every app still asks you the first time it changes something, exactly as before.

## Suggested settings

A plugin can suggest stricter settings for its apps, such as **Ask first before changing calendar events**. They can only make Bluedeer ask more, never less.

When you add a plugin, **Use suggested settings** is ticked. You can also select **Use suggested settings** for one app, or **Use all suggested settings**, on the plugin's page later.

The settings are saved as ordinary **Ask first** rules in **Settings** → **AI & Chat** → **Connector permissions**, where you can see and change them. They apply to your account in every workspace, and they stay if you remove the plugin. A setting for an app you haven't connected yet is applied when you connect it.

## Pages

Select **Create page** to make one of the plugin's live pages. It is disabled, with the reason, until the apps it needs are connected. Nothing is created until you select it.

## Tasks

Select **Set up task** to open the new-task form filled in from the plugin's recipe, such as "Weekdays 8:00: today's meetings brief". Change anything, then select **Save task**. Nothing is scheduled until you save. Scheduled tasks need Pro.
