# External Integrations

> Guide to integrating sub-assistants across platforms

Sub-assistants are flexible workflow helpers that can be integrated into your team's favorite collaboration platforms. Their on-demand, user-driven design makes them perfect for automating targeted tasks across Slack, Teams, WhatsApp, and other environments. This guide covers key integration options for getting the most out of your sub-assistants in your team's daily work.

## Integration Capabilities

* **API Integration:** Sub-assistants can be integrated by API into custom tools, web apps, or other platforms as needed.
* **Chat Platform Integration:** Sub-assistants can be triggered in Slack, Microsoft Teams, and WhatsApp, but do not natively join meetings or take notes.
* **Workflow Automation:** Sub-assistants can be invoked via dashboard workflows, chat commands, or triggered by Team PAs as part of a larger workflow.
* **Sharing & Publishing:** Sub-assistants can be published for team-wide use or shared across teams for broader workflow automation.

## Usage Scenarios

* Integrate sub-assistants into Slack channels for quick, on-demand automation.
* Use API endpoints to automate sub-assistant workflows from external platforms.
* Share sub-assistants with other teams to standardize and streamline common processes.
* Combine sub-assistants with Team PAs for end-to-end workflow coverage.

## Best Practices

* Choose chat and API integrations that align with your team’s daily workflow.
* Share and publish effective sub-assistants to maximize impact across teams.
* Use sub-assistants to complement, not replace, the proactive orchestration of Team PAs.
* Iterate on sub-assistant automation as your team’s needs evolve.

Sub-assistants are flexible, on-demand workflow helpers that integrate with team chat and automation platforms for targeted productivity gains.
