# Integrations

Interlynk integrates with source control platforms, issue trackers, and messaging tools to embed SBOM management and vulnerability tracking into your existing workflows.

## Permissions Required

Managing integrations requires the following permissions:

| Action                     | Required Permission  |
| -------------------------- | -------------------- |
| View integrations          | `view_connections`   |
| Create/update integrations | `edit_connections`   |
| Delete integrations        | `delete_connections` |

## Integration Health

Interlynk periodically checks the health of configured integrations. Each integration shows:

* **Health Status**: Whether the connection is active and functional.
* **Last Checked**: Timestamp of the most recent health check.

If an integration shows an unhealthy status, verify your credentials and network connectivity, then re-test the connection.

## Security Considerations

* All integration credentials (API tokens, webhook URLs, OAuth tokens) are encrypted at rest.
* OAuth tokens are automatically refreshed when they expire.
* Use the most restrictive scopes and permissions when connecting external services.
* Regularly audit which integrations are connected to your organization.
