# Quickstart
> Connect your agent to one or more of your existing systems and run your first actions.
Connect your agent to one or more of the systems you already use — Zendesk, Gmail, Salesforce, and hundreds more — and run your first actions.
## Connect through the dashboard
If you currently don't have an organization or project, you'll be prompted to create them on first login. Once that's done, continue below to start using a connector.
### Setup Connector Profile
Before linking an account, you need to enable and configure a [Connector Profile](/gateway/concepts/connector-profiles). This is used to set up authentication and the actions and/or events you are looking to use.
1. In the StackOne dashboard sidebar, open [Connectors](https://app.stackone.com/connectors)
2. Search for a connector you are interested in using (e.g. Zendesk, Gmail, Salesforce) and select it. This will open the **Connector page**.
3. Following the **Quick Setup**, click **Add Profile**. This will open a side panel to configure the profile.
1. Leave the **Version** at **Latest**.
2. Leave the **Profile name** as the default value — it's purely descriptive, a label to tell your profiles apart in the dashboard.
3. If multiple options exist, choose the **Authentication type** you wish to use.
Depending on the Connector, there may be additional fields to complete (e.g. Client ID, Client Secret, API Key etc.) and/or additional configuration on the provider system. Check the [Connector Guides](/connectors/introduction) and follow the relevant Connector Profile guide.
4. **Actions/Events** control what your agent can do and what it's notified about. To start, deselect all and enable a few read actions. See [Scoping Connectors](/secure/scoping-connectors).
5. Click **Create Profile**. The Connector Profile is now ready to be used to link an account.
### Link Account
There are multiple methods for linking an account. In this guide, we'll link one directly through the StackOne dashboard.
Following the **Quick Setup**, click the now enabled **Link Account** button. This will open the **Link an Account** popup.
These fields identify which of your customers the account belongs to — see [Multi-Tenant Accounts](/features/multi-tenant-accounts#identifying-the-client-on-each-account) for how they tie accounts to your clients.
For this walkthrough, leave the default values and click **Next**.
Confirm the Connector Profile you configured earlier is selected, then click **Next**.
Depending on the Connector there may be additional fields to complete and/or additional configuration on the provider system. Click **Connection Guide** in the top right for more details if needed.
Click **Connect**. You may need to complete authentication with the provider (e.g. via OAuth) — a new window will pop up prompting you to sign in as needed.
Once authorization is complete, your **Account** will now be linked in StackOne.
### Call Actions
With a linked account in place, check it works in the [Playground](/embed/call-actions/troubleshooting/playground) — run actions in natural language, no code.
In the dashboard sidebar, open [Playground](https://app.stackone.com/playground).
Click **Manage Action Sources**, select the account you linked, and click **Done**.
Try a prompt like:
```text theme={null}
What tools can I use?
```
```text theme={null}
List the latest 5 records
```
## Next steps
Add the connector's actions to your agent — ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and more.
Call the connector from your code — the Agent SDK, MCP, A2A, or RPC/HTTP.
