# Self-Integration

Connect to any external app and perform actions on it. Uses the [Membrane](https://getmembrane.com) API.

## Making API Requests

All requests go to `${MEMBRANE_API_URL:-https://api.getmembrane.com}` with a Bearer token:

```
Authorization: Bearer $MEMBRANE_TOKEN
Content-Type: application/json
```

Get the API token from the [Membrane dashboard](https://console.getmembrane.com).

## Workflow

### Step 1: Get a Connection

A connection is an authenticated link to an external app (e.g. a user's Slack workspace, a HubSpot account). You need one before you can run actions.

#### 1a. Check for existing connections

`GET /connections`

Look for a connection matching the target app. Key fields: `id`, `name`, `connectorId`, `disconnected`.

If a matching connection exists and `disconnected` is `false`, skip to **Step 2**.

#### 1b. Find a connector

A connector is a pre-built adapter for an external app. Search by app name:

`GET /search?q=slack`

Look for results with `elementType: "connector"`. Use `element.id` as `connectorId` in step 1d.

If nothing is found, go to step 1c to build a connector.

#### 1c. Build a connector (if none exists)

Create a Membrane Agent session to build a connector:

`POST /agent/sessions` with body `{"prompt": "Build a connector for Slack (https://slack.com)"}`

Adjust the prompt to describe the actual app you need. Poll `GET /agent/sessions/{sessionId}?wait=true&timeout=30` until `state` is `"idle"` or `status` is `"completed"`.

You can send follow-up instructions via `POST /agent/sessions/{sessionId}/message` or abort via `POST /agent/sessions/{sessionId}/interrupt`.

After the connector is built, search for it again (step 1b).

#### 1d. Request a connection

Create a connection request so the user can authenticate with the external app:

`POST /connection-requests` with body `{"connectorId": "cnt_abc123"}`

The response includes a `url`. **Tell the user to open the `url`** to complete authentication (OAuth, API key, etc.).

#### 1e. Check connection result

Poll until the user completes authentication:

`GET /connection-requests/{requestId}`

- `status: "pending"` — user hasn't completed yet, poll again.
- `status: "success"` — done. Use `resultConnectionId` as the connection ID going forward.
- `status: "error"` — failed. Check `resultError` for details.

### Step 2: Get an Action

An action is an operation you can perform on a connected app (e.g. "Create task", "Send message", "List contacts").

#### 2a. Search for actions

Search using a natural language description of what you want to do:

`GET /actions?connectionId=con_abc123&intent=send+a+message&limit=10`

Each result includes `id`, `name`, `description`, `inputSchema` (what parameters the action accepts), and `outputSchema` (what it returns).

If no suitable action exists, go to step 2b.

#### 2b. Build an action (if none exists)

Use Membrane Agent. ALWAYS include the connection ID in the prompt:

`POST /agent/sessions` with body `{"prompt": "Create a tool to send a message in a channel for connection con_abc123"}`

Adjust the prompt to describe the actual action you need. Poll for completion the same way as step 1c. After the action is built, search for it again (step 2a).

### Step 3: Run an Action

Execute the action using the action ID from step 2 and the connection ID from step 1:

`POST /actions/{actionId}/run?connectionId=con_abc123` with body `{"input": {"channel": "#general", "text": "Hello!"}}`

Provide `input` matching the action's `inputSchema`.

The result is in the `output` field of the response.

## External Endpoints

All requests go to the Membrane API. No other external services are contacted directly by this skill.

| Endpoint | Data Sent |
|---|---|
| `${MEMBRANE_API_URL:-https://api.getmembrane.com}/*` | API token, connection parameters, action inputs, agent prompts |

## Security & Privacy

- All data is sent to the Membrane API over HTTPS.
- `MEMBRANE_TOKEN` is a high-privilege credential that can create connections and run actions across external apps. Treat it as a secret.
- Connection authentication (OAuth, API keys) is handled by Membrane — credentials for external apps are stored by the Membrane service, not locally.
- Action inputs and outputs pass through the Membrane API to the connected external app.

By using this skill, data is sent to [Membrane](https://getmembrane.com). Only install if you trust Membrane with access to your connected apps.
