# Add Integration Skill
You are an expert at adding complete integrations to Sim. This skill orchestrates the full process of adding a new service integration.
## Overview
Adding an integration involves these steps in order:
1. **Research** - Read the service's API documentation
2. **Create Tools** - Build tool configurations for each API operation
3. **Create Block** - Build the block UI configuration
4. **Add Icon** - Add the service's brand icon
5. **Create Triggers** (optional) - If the service supports webhooks
6. **Register** - Register tools, block, and triggers in their registries
7. **Generate Docs** - Run the docs generation script
## Step 1: Research the API
Before writing any code:
1. Use Context7 to find official documentation: `mcp__context7__resolve-library-id`, then fetch with `mcp__context7__query-docs`
2. Or use WebFetch to read API docs directly
3. Identify:
- Authentication method (OAuth, API Key, both)
- Available operations (CRUD, search, etc.)
- Required vs optional parameters
- Response structures
## Step 2: Create Tools
### Directory Structure
```
apps/sim/tools/{service}/
├── index.ts # Barrel exports
├── types.ts # TypeScript interfaces
├── {action1}.ts # Tool for action 1
├── {action2}.ts # Tool for action 2
└── ...
```
### Key Patterns
**types.ts:**
```typescript
import type { ToolResponse } from '@/tools/types'
export interface {Service}{Action}Params {
accessToken: string // For OAuth services
// OR
apiKey: string // For API key services
requiredParam: string
optionalParam?: string
}
export interface {Service}Response extends ToolResponse {
output: {
// Define output structure
}
}
```
**Tool file pattern:**
```typescript
export const {service}{Action}Tool: ToolConfig<Params, Response> = {
id: '{service}_{action}',
name: '{Service} {Action}',
description: '...',
version: '1.0.0',
oauth: { required: true, provider: '{service}' }, // If OAuth
params: {
accessToken: { type: 'string', required: true, visibility: 'hidden', description: '...' },
// ... other params
},
request: { url, method, headers, body },
transformResponse: async (response) => {
const data = await response.json()
return {
success: true,
output: {
field: data.field ?? null, // Always handle nullables
},
}
},
outputs: { /* ... */ },
}
```
### Critical Rules
- `visibility: 'hidden'` for OAuth tokens
- `visibility: 'user-only'` for API keys and user credentials
- `visibility: 'user-or-llm'` for operation parameters
- Always use `?? null` for nullable API response fields
- Always use `?? []` for optional array fields
- Set `optional: true` for outputs that may not exist
- Never output raw JSON dumps - extract meaningful fields
- When using `type: 'json'` and you know the object shape, define `properties` with the inner fields so downstream consumers know the structure. Only use bare `type: 'json'` when the shape is truly dynamic
## Step 3: Create Block
### File Location
`apps/sim/blocks/blocks/{service}.ts`
### Block Structure
```typescript
import { {Service}Icon } from '@/components/icons'
import type { BlockConfig } from '@/blocks/types'
import { AuthMode, IntegrationType } from '@/blocks/types'
import { getScopesForService } from '@/lib/oauth/utils'
export const {Service}Block: BlockConfig = {
type: '{service}',
name: '{Service}',
description: '...',
longDescription: '...',
docsLink: 'https://docs.sim.ai/integrations/{service}',
category: 'tools',
integrationType: IntegrationType.X, // Primary category (see IntegrationType enum)
tags: ['oauth', 'api'], // Cross-cutting tags (see IntegrationTag type)
bgColor: '#HEXCOLOR',
icon: {Service}Icon,
authMode: AuthMode.OAuth, // or AuthMode.ApiKey
subBlocks: [
// Operation dropdown
{
id: 'operation',
title: 'Operation',
type: 'dropdown',
options: [
{ label: 'Operation 1', id: 'action1' },
{ label: 'Operation 2', id: 'action2' },
],
value: () => 'action1',
},
// Credential field
{
id: 'credential',
title: '{Service} Account',
type: 'oauth-input',
serviceId: '{service}',
requiredScopes: getScopesForService('{service}'),
required: true,
},
// Conditional fields per operation
// ...
],
tools: {
access: ['{service}_action1', '{service}_action2'],
config: {
tool: (params) => `{service}_${params.operation}`,
},
},
outputs: { /* ... */ },
}
```
### Key SubBlock Patterns
**Condition-based visibility:**
```typescript
{
id: 'resourceId',
title: 'Resource ID',
type: 'short-input',
condition: { field: 'operation', value: ['read', 'update', 'delete'] },
required: { field: 'operation', value: ['read', 'update', 'delete'] },
}
```
**DependsOn for cascading selectors:**
```typescript
{
id: 'project',
type: 'project-selector',
dependsOn: ['credential'],
},
{
id: 'issue',
type: 'file-selector',
dependsOn: ['credential', 'project'],
}
```
**Basic/Advanced mode for dual UX:**
```typescript
// Basic: Visual selector
{
id: 'channel',
type: 'channel-selector',
mode: 'basic',
canonicalParamId: 'channel',
dependsOn: ['credential'],
},
// Advanced: Manual input
{
id: 'channelId',
type: 'short-input',
mode: 'advanced',
canonicalParamId: 'channel',
}
```
**Critical Canonical Param Rules:**
- `canonicalParamId` must NOT match any subblock's `id` in the block
- `canonicalParamId` must be unique per operation/condition context
- Only use `canonicalParamId` to link basic/advanced alternatives for the same logical parameter
- `mode` only controls UI visibility, NOT serialization. Without `canonicalParamId`, both basic and advanced field values would be sent
- Every subblock `id` must be unique within the block. Duplicate IDs cause conflicts even with different conditions
- **Required consistency:** If one subblock in a canonical group has `required: true`, ALL subblocks in that group must have `required: true` (prevents bypassing validation by switching modes)
- **Inputs section:** Must list canonical param IDs (e.g., `fileId`), NOT raw subblock IDs (e.g., `fileSelector`, `manualFileId`)
- **Params function:** Must use canonical param IDs, NOT raw subblock IDs (raw IDs are deleted after canonical transformation)
### BlockMeta (Required)
Export a `{Service}BlockMeta` in the same file as the block — **minimum 7 templates**. See `add-block.md` → "BlockMeta (Required)" for valid `modules` and `category` values and the full pattern.
```typescript
export const {Service}BlockMeta = {
tags: ['tag1', 'tag2'],
templates: [
{
icon: {Service}Icon,
title: '{Service} <use-case>',
prompt: 'Build a workflow that...', // concrete trigger → transformation → output
modules: ['agent', 'workflows'],
category: 'operations',
tags: ['automation'],
alsoIntegrations: ['slack'], // when the prompt references another service
},
// ... at least 6 more
],
} as const satisfies BlockMeta
```
## Step 4: Add Icon
### File Location
`apps/sim/components/icons.tsx`
### Pattern
```typescript
export function {Service}Icon(props: SVGProps<SVGSVGElement>) {
return (
<svg
{...props}
viewBox="0 0 24 24"
fill="none"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"
>
{/* SVG paths from user-provided SVG */}
</svg>
)
}
```
### Getting Icons
**Do NOT search for icons yourself.** At the end of implementation, ask the user to provide the SVG:
```
I've completed the integration. Before I can add the icon, please provide the SVG for {Service}.
You can usually find this in the service's brand/press kit page, or copy it from their website.
Paste the SVG code here and I'll convert it to a React component.
```
Once the user provides the SVG:
1. Extract the SVG paths/content
2. Create a React component that spreads props
3. Ensure viewBox is preserved from the original SVG
### Theme-safety (bare rendering) — REQUIRED
The icon renders both inside its colored `bgColor` tile AND "bare" (no tile) on a
neutral page — e.g. the home **Suggested actions** list — in both light and dark
mode. A monochrome logo whose paths hardcode a single near-white or near-black
fill is invisible bare on the matching background (white-on-white in light mode,
black-on-black in dark mode).
Rules when adding the SVG:
- **Monochrome logos** (a single white or black mark): draw the shape with
`fill='currentColor'`, not `fill='#fff'` / `fill='#000000'`. It then inherits
white inside dark tiles, near-black inside light tiles (via
`getTileIconColorClass`), and the theme-aware `var(--text-icon)` bare — legible
everywhere. Do NOT set `iconColor` for these.
- **Multi-color brand logos** (their own vivid fills): keep the hardcoded fills.
They read on any background. Only set `iconColor` (a vivid brand hex, never a
near-black/near-white tile color) if the bare icon should adopt a brand tint.
- A large white shape with a tiny vivid accent (e.g. a logo where the body is the
white negative space) still vanishes bare — convert the body to `currentColor`.
Verify with `bun run check:bare-icons` (also runs in CI). It flags purely
monochrome hazards; for partial-accent logos, eyeball the suggested-actions list
in both light and dark mode.
## Step 5: Create Triggers (Optional)
If the service supports webhooks, create triggers using the generic `buildTriggerSubBlocks` helper.
### Directory Structure
```
apps/sim/triggers/{service}/
├── index.ts # Barrel exports
├── utils.ts # Trigger options, setup instructions, extra fields
├── {event_a}.ts # Primary trigger (includes dropdown)
├── {event_b}.ts # Secondary triggers (no dropdown)
└── webhook.ts # Generic webhook (optional)
```
### Key Pattern
```typescript
import { buildTriggerSubBlocks } from '@/triggers'
import { {service}TriggerOptions, {service}SetupInstructions, build{Service}ExtraFields } from './utils'
// Primary trigger - includeDropdown: true
export const {service}EventATrigger: TriggerConfig = {
id: '{service}_event_a',
subBlocks: buildTriggerSubBlocks({
triggerId: '{service}_event_a',
triggerOptions: {service}TriggerOptions,
includeDropdown: true, // Only for primary trigger!
setupInstructions: {service}SetupInstructions('Event A'),
extraFields: build{Service}ExtraFields('{service}_event_a'),
}),
// ...
}
// Secondary triggers - no dropdown
export const {service}EventBTrigger: TriggerConfig = {
id: '{service}_event_b',
subBlocks: buildTriggerSubBlocks({
triggerId: '{service}_event_b',
triggerOptions: {service}TriggerOptions,
// No includeDropdown!
setupInstructions: {service}SetupInstructions('Event B'),
extraFields: build{Service}ExtraFields('{service}_event_b'),
}),
// ...
}
```
### Connect to Block
```typescript
import { getTrigger } from '@/triggers'
export const {Service}Block: BlockConfig = {
triggers: {
enabled: true,
available: ['{service}_event_a', '{service}_event_b'],
},
subBlocks: [
// Tool fields...
...getTrigger('{service}_event_a').subBlocks,
...getTrigger('{service}_event_b').subBlocks,
],
}
```
See `/add-trigger` skill for complete documentation.
## Step 6: Register Everything
### Tools Registry (`apps/sim/tools/registry.ts`)
```typescript
// Add import (alphabetically)
import {
{service}Action1Tool,
{service}Action2Tool,
} from '@/tools/{service}'
// Add to tools object (alphabetically)
export const tools: Record<string, ToolConfig> = {
// ... existing tools ...
{service}_action1: {service}Action1Tool,
{service}_action2: {service}Action2Tool,
}
```
### Block Registry (`apps/sim/blocks/registry-maps.ts`)
The data maps (`BLOCK_REGISTRY` + `BLOCK_META_REGISTRY`) live in `registry-maps.ts`; `registry.ts` holds only the accessor functions. Add the import and an entry to each map alphabetically:
```typescript
// Add import (alphabetically)
import { {Service}Block, {Service}BlockMeta } from '@/blocks/blocks/{service}'
// Add to the config map (alphabetically)
export const BLOCK_REGISTRY: Record<string, BlockConfig> = {
// ... existing blocks ...
{service}: {Service}Block,
}
// Add to the catalog-meta map (alphabetically)
export const BLOCK_META_REGISTRY: Record<string, BlockMeta> = {
// ... existing metas ...
{service}: {Service}BlockMeta,
}
```
### Trigger Registry (`apps/sim/triggers/registry.ts`) - If triggers exist
```typescript
// Add import (alphabetically)
import {
{service}EventATrigger,
{service}EventBTrigger,
{service}WebhookTrigger,
} from '@/triggers/{service}'
// Add to TRIGGER_REGISTRY (alphabetically)
export const TRIGGER_REGISTRY: TriggerRegistry = {
// ... existing triggers ...
{service}_event_a: {service}EventATrigger,
{service}_event_b: {service}EventBTrigger,
{service}_webhook: {service}WebhookTrigger,
}
```
## Step 7: Generate Docs
Run the documentation generator (from `apps/sim`):
```bash
bun run generate-docs
```
This creates `apps/docs/content/docs/en/tools/{service}.mdx`
## V2 Integration Pattern
If creating V2 versions (API-aligned outputs):
1. **V2 Tools** - Add `_v2` suffix, version `2.0.0`, flat outputs
2. **V2 Block** - Add `_v2` type, use `createVersionedToolSelector`
3. **V1 Block** - Add `(Legacy)` to name, set `hideFromToolbar: true`
4. **Registry** - Register both versions
```typescript
// In registry
{service}: {Service}Block, // V1 (legacy, hidden)
{service}_v2: {Service}V2Block, // V2 (visible)
```

## Example Command
When the user asks to add an integration:
```
User: Add a Stripe integration
You: I'll add the Stripe integration. Let me:
1. First, research the Stripe API using Context7
2. Create the tools for key operations (payments, subscriptions, etc.)
3. Create the block with operation dropdown
4. Register everything
5. Generate docs
6. Ask you for the Stripe icon SVG
[Proceed with implementation...]
[After completing steps 1-5...]
I've completed the Stripe integration. Before I can add the icon, please provide the SVG for Stripe.
You can usually find this in the service's brand/press kit page, or copy it from their website.
Paste the SVG code here and I'll convert it to a React component.
```
## File Handling
When your integration handles file uploads or downloads, follow these patterns to work with `UserFile` objects consistently.
### What is a UserFile?
A `UserFile` is the standard file representation in Sim:
```typescript
interface UserFile {
id: string // Unique identifier
name: string // Original filename
url: string // Presigned URL for download
size: number // File size in bytes
type: string // MIME type (e.g., 'application/pdf')
base64?: string // Optional base64 content (if small file)
key?: string // Internal storage key
context?: object // Storage context metadata
}
```
### File Input Pattern (Uploads)
For tools that accept file uploads, **always route through an internal API endpoint** rather than calling external APIs directly. This ensures proper file content retrieval.
#### 1. Block SubBlocks for File Input
Use the basic/advanced mode pattern:
```typescript
// Basic mode: File upload UI
{
id: 'uploadFile',
title: 'File',
type: 'file-upload',
canonicalParamId: 'file', // Maps to 'file' param
placeholder: 'Upload file',
mode: 'basic',
multiple: false,
required: true,
condition: { field: 'operation', value: 'upload' },
},
// Advanced mode: Reference from previous block
{
id: 'fileRef',
title: 'File',
type: 'short-input',
canonicalParamId: 'file', // Same canonical param
placeholder: 'Reference file (e.g., {{file_block.output}})',
mode: 'advanced',
required: true,
condition: { field: 'operation', value: 'upload' },
},
```
**Critical:** `canonicalParamId` must NOT match any subblock `id`.
#### 2. Normalize File Input in Block Config
In `tools.config.tool`, use `normalizeFileInput` to handle all input variants:
```typescript
import { normalizeFileInput } from '@/blocks/utils'
tools: {
config: {
tool: (params) => {
// Normalize file from basic (uploadFile), advanced (fileRef), or legacy (fileContent)
const normalizedFile = normalizeFileInput(
params.uploadFile || params.fileRef || params.fileContent,
{ single: true }
)
if (normalizedFile) {
params.file = normalizedFile
}
return `{service}_${params.operation}`
},
},
}
```
#### 3. Create Internal API Route
Create `apps/sim/app/api/tools/{service}/{action}/route.ts`:
```typescript
import { createLogger } from '@sim/logger'
import { NextResponse, type NextRequest } from 'next/server'
import { {service}UploadContract } from '@/lib/api/contracts/tools/{service}'
import { parseRequest } from '@/lib/api/server'
import { checkInternalAuth } from '@/lib/auth/hybrid'
import { generateRequestId } from '@/lib/core/utils/request'
import { withRouteHandler } from '@/lib/core/utils/with-route-handler'
import { type RawFileInput } from '@/lib/uploads/utils/file-schemas'
import { processFilesToUserFiles } from '@/lib/uploads/utils/file-utils'
import { downloadFileFromStorage } from '@/lib/uploads/utils/file-utils.server'
const logger = createLogger('{Service}UploadAPI')
export const POST = withRouteHandler(async (request: NextRequest) => {
const requestId = generateRequestId()
// Auth always runs BEFORE parseRequest — never validate untrusted input before authenticating.
const authResult = await checkInternalAuth(request, { requireWorkflowId: false })
if (!authResult.success) {
return NextResponse.json({ success: false, error: 'Unauthorized' }, { status: 401 })
}
const parsed = await parseRequest({service}UploadContract, request, {})
if (!parsed.success) return parsed.response
const data = parsed.data.body
let fileBuffer: Buffer
let fileName: string
// Prefer UserFile input, fall back to legacy base64
if (data.file) {
const userFiles = processFilesToUserFiles([data.file as RawFileInput], requestId, logger)
if (userFiles.length === 0) {
return NextResponse.json({ success: false, error: 'Invalid file' }, { status: 400 })
}
const userFile = userFiles[0]
fileBuffer = await downloadFileFromStorage(userFile, requestId, logger)
fileName = userFile.name
} else if (data.fileContent) {
// Legacy: base64 string (backwards compatibility)
fileBuffer = Buffer.from(data.fileContent, 'base64')
fileName = 'file'
} else {
return NextResponse.json({ success: false, error: 'File required' }, { status: 400 })
}
// Now call external API with fileBuffer
const response = await fetch('https://api.{service}.com/upload', {
method: 'POST',
headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${data.accessToken}` },
body: new Uint8Array(fileBuffer), // Convert Buffer for fetch
})
// ... handle response
})
```
#### 4. Update Tool to Use Internal Route
```typescript
export const {service}UploadTool: ToolConfig<Params, Response> = {
id: '{service}_upload',
// ...
params: {
file: { type: 'file', required: false, visibility: 'user-or-llm' },
fileContent: { type: 'string', required: false, visibility: 'hidden' }, // Legacy
},
request: {
url: '/api/tools/{service}/upload', // Internal route
method: 'POST',
body: (params) => ({
accessToken: params.accessToken,
file: params.file,
fileContent: params.fileContent,
}),
},
}
```
### File Output Pattern (Downloads)
For tools that return files, use `FileToolProcessor` to store files and return `UserFile` objects.
#### In Tool transformResponse
```typescript
import { FileToolProcessor } from '@/executor/utils/file-tool-processor'
transformResponse: async (response, context) => {
const data = await response.json()
// Process file outputs to UserFile objects
const fileProcessor = new FileToolProcessor(context)
const file = await fileProcessor.processFileData({
data: data.content, // base64 or buffer
mimeType: data.mimeType,
filename: data.filename,
})
return {
success: true,
output: { file },
}
}
```
#### In API Route (for complex file handling)
```typescript
// Return file data that FileToolProcessor can handle
return NextResponse.json({
success: true,
output: {
file: {
data: base64Content,
mimeType: 'application/pdf',
filename: 'document.pdf',
},
},
})
```
### Key Helpers Reference
| Helper | Location | Purpose |
|--------|----------|---------|
| `normalizeFileInput` | `@/blocks/utils` | Normalize file params in block config |
| `processFilesToUserFiles` | `@/lib/uploads/utils/file-utils` | Convert raw inputs to UserFile[] |
| `downloadFileFromStorage` | `@/lib/uploads/utils/file-utils.server` | Get file Buffer from UserFile |
| `FileToolProcessor` | `@/executor/utils/file-tool-processor` | Process tool output files |
| `isUserFile` | `@/lib/core/utils/user-file` | Type guard for UserFile objects |
| `FileInputSchema` | `@/lib/uploads/utils/file-schemas` | Zod schema for file validation |
### Advanced Mode for Optional Fields
Optional fields that are rarely used should be set to `mode: 'advanced'` so they don't clutter the basic UI. Examples: pagination tokens, time range filters, sort order, max results, reply settings.
### WandConfig for Complex Inputs
Use `wandConfig` for fields that are hard to fill out manually:
- **Timestamps**: Use `generationType: 'timestamp'` to inject current date context into the AI prompt
- **JSON arrays**: Use `generationType: 'json-object'` for structured data
- **Complex queries**: Use a descriptive prompt explaining the expected format
```typescript
{
id: 'startTime',
title: 'Start Time',
type: 'short-input',
mode: 'advanced',
wandConfig: {
enabled: true,
prompt: 'Generate an ISO 8601 timestamp. Return ONLY the timestamp string.',
generationType: 'timestamp',
},
}
```
### OAuth Scopes (Centralized System)
Scopes are maintained in a single source of truth and reused everywhere:
1. **Define scopes** in `lib/oauth/oauth.ts` under `OAUTH_PROVIDERS[provider].services[service].scopes`
2. **Add descriptions** in `SCOPE_DESCRIPTIONS` within `lib/oauth/utils.ts` for the OAuth modal UI
3. **Reference in auth.ts** using `getCanonicalScopesForProvider(providerId)` from `@/lib/oauth/utils`
4. **Reference in blocks** using `getScopesForService(serviceId)` from `@/lib/oauth/utils`
**Never hardcode scope arrays** in `auth.ts` or block `requiredScopes`. Always import from the centralized source.
```typescript
// In auth.ts (Better Auth config)
scopes: getCanonicalScopesForProvider('{service}'),
// In block credential sub-block
requiredScopes: getScopesForService('{service}'),
```
### Common Gotchas
1. **OAuth serviceId must match** - The `serviceId` in oauth-input must match the OAuth provider configuration
2. **All tool IDs MUST be snake_case** - `stripe_create_payment`, not `stripeCreatePayment`. This applies to tool `id` fields, registry keys, `tools.access` arrays, and `tools.config.tool` return values
3. **Block type is snake_case** - `type: 'stripe'`, not `type: 'Stripe'`
4. **Alphabetical ordering** - Keep imports and registry entries alphabetically sorted
5. **Required can be conditional** - Use `required: { field: 'op', value: 'create' }` instead of always true
6. **DependsOn clears options** - When a dependency changes, selector options are refetched
7. **Never pass Buffer directly to fetch** - Convert to `new Uint8Array(buffer)` for TypeScript compatibility
8. **Always handle legacy file params** - Keep hidden `fileContent` params for backwards compatibility
9. **Optional fields use advanced mode** - Set `mode: 'advanced'` on rarely-used optional fields
10. **Complex inputs need wandConfig** - Timestamps, JSON arrays, and other hard-to-type values should have `wandConfig` enabled
11. **Never hardcode scopes** - Use `getScopesForService()` in blocks and `getCanonicalScopesForProvider()` in auth.ts
12. **Always add scope descriptions** - New scopes must have entries in `SCOPE_DESCRIPTIONS` within `lib/oauth/utils.ts`
