Basic Concepts

Concept	Description
Entity	Entity represents your user (Jessica or John) and all accounts that belong to a specific user will have the same entity ID.
Accounts	Accounts represent the link formed when your users connect their accounts (GitHub, Shopify, etc.) to your app.
Apps	Apps refer to the applications that can be connected by your users.
Actions	Actions are tasks on top of tools that you can perform using accounts. (Send a mail using Gmail tool)
Triggers	Triggers are predefined conditions that, when met, initiate webhooks to your agents. (When a mail is received in a Gmail account, send a webhook)
Integrations	Configuration objects that define how your application connects to external services, including OAuth credentials, permission scopes, and API specifications. They serve as reusable templates for standardizing authentication flows.
