# Set up integrations in the console
<a name="integration-console-setup-process"></a>

The console organizes integrations into separate categories based on their purpose. Use **Knowledge** to connect data sources for Q&A and insights. Use **Connectors** to set up action connectors that perform operations in external applications. The setup process adapts based on the integration you select, your subscription, and existing integrations.

## Choose integration options

When you set up an integration, the console guides you based on several factors:
+ **Integration capabilities** – Each application supports different combinations of actions and knowledge base creation. For example, Google Drive supports both actions and knowledge base creation. Web Crawler supports knowledge base creation only.
+ **Subscription** – Configuring integrations requires an Enterprise subscription. This includes creating action connectors, setting up knowledge bases, and managing integration settings. Users with a Professional subscription can use integrations that have been shared with them.
+ **Existing integrations** – When you choose a connector that already exists, the console shows your existing connectors before offering to create new ones.
