### Overview

Bitscale connects seamlessly with your favorite tools for **data enrichment, outbound automation, CRM syncs, and alert workflows**. Integrations can be set up in one of three ways:

1. **Bridge-Based Integrations** – For CRMs and complex tools like HubSpot or Salesforce.
2. **API Key Integrations** – For outbound tools and enrichment platforms like Instantly or Smartlead.
3. **Webhook Integrations** – For incoming alerts or data pushes from other software into Bitscale.

***

### **1. Bridge-Based Integrations**

Bridge-based integrations handle authentication automatically.

**Examples:**

* HubSpot
* Salesforce
* Slack

**Steps:**

1. Go to **Integrations** from the sidebar.
2. Click on the integration (e.g., HubSpot).
3. Follow the bridge authentication process — a new window will open asking for permissions.
4. Once connected, the integration appears as “Active” in your account.

> 💡 No need to copy or paste API keys — everything is authorized through the bridge.

***

### **2. API Key Integrations**

Most outbound and data tools connect via API keys.

**Examples:**

* Instantly
* Smartlead
* Lemlist
* Heyreach

**Steps:**

1. Go to **Integrations → Add Integration**.
2. Select the platform (e.g., Instantly).
3. Enter:
   * **Integration Name** (for your reference).
   * **API Key** from your account on that platform.
4. Save and test the connection.

**Where to Find API Keys:**

* Usually under *Settings → Integrations* on the respective tool.
* Copy and paste the API key into Bitscale.

> 💡 You can reuse the same API key for multiple grids or workflows if your plan allows.

***

### **3. Webhook Integrations (Incoming Data)**

For inbound data — such as alerts or lead pushes — use **Webhooks**.

**Use Case:**\
If another platform (e.g., Zapier, CRM, or form tool) sends data to Bitscale, you can set up a webhook endpoint to receive it.

**Steps:**

1. Go to **New Grid → Import Data → Webhook**.
2. Copy the unique **Webhook URL** generated.
3. Paste it into the source platform that sends the data.
4. When the source sends an alert or payload, Bitscale automatically populates your grid in real time.

> 💡 Webhooks are ideal for connecting alert systems, CRMs, or automation tools that send JSON data.

***

### **Custom API Integrations**

For advanced users, Bitscale supports **custom HTTP API calls** to connect with unsupported platforms.

Check the **Custom API Integration** documentation for step-by-step instructions on creating POST/GET requests, passing headers, and automating actions.

***

### **Best Practices**

* Use **Bridge Integrations** for secure CRM connections.
* Use **API Keys** for outbound or enrichment tools.
* Use **Webhooks** for inbound alerts or automated data pushes.
* Maintain separate integration names for multiple accounts (e.g., “Sales Team HubSpot” vs “Marketing HubSpot”).
* Verify each integration with a test run before using it in workflows.

***

### **Summary**

Bitscale integrations allow you to connect to CRMs, outreach platforms, and external systems through **three flexible methods** — Bridge, API Key, and Webhook. Whether you’re syncing data, pushing leads, or automating alerts, integrations ensure a smooth, end-to-end data flow between Bitscale and your sales stack.
