# Using Box Custom Connectors

<div className="article_labels_list" style={{display: 'none'}} dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{__html: "End User , Automate process , Overview , Article , Product Utilization , Established"}} />

A Box Custom Connector lets your organization's users reach a third-party application's functionality from **Box Automate** workflows (for example via custom HTTP steps).

Box admins can:

* Add connectors by specifying a name and domain.
* Enable or disable a Custom Connector.
* Allow workflow builders to use a third-party application from Automate.

## Creating a Custom Connector

1. In the Admin Console left menu, click **Integrations**.
2. At the top of the Integrations window, click **Connectors**.
3. Click **Add Custom Connector**.
4. In **Connector Name**, enter a display name.
5. In **Domain**, enter the URL where Box Automate can reach the third-party application. Each connector must use a unique domain; you cannot create multiple Custom Connectors with the same domain.
6. Click **Save**.

## Enabling or disabling a Custom Connector

Enabling a connector allows workflow builders to use it in new or existing Automate workflows. Disabling prevents that use.

1. In the Admin Console, go to **Integrations**.
2. Open the **Connectors** tab.
3. Hover on the connector name.
4. In **Availability Status**, click the status.
5. Select the status you want. Box applies the change automatically.

## Enabling and disabling creation of new Custom Connectors

When creation of new Custom Connectors is enabled, workflow builders can create connectors for use in Automate. When disabled, builders use only connectors created by Box admins.

1. Go to **Integrations**.
2. Open the **Settings** tab.
3. In the **Connectors** section, click **Configure**.
4. Select the desired status.
5. Click **Save**.
