# Partner integrations
Source: https://docs.aden.space/docs/help/apps-integrations/partner-integrations

The artist-tools ecosystem in beta. Connect distributors, email CRMs, link pages, pitching tools and site builders to a team, and build your own tool on Aden with API keys, webhooks, OAuth and MCP.

## What it is [#what-it-is]

Aden connects to the tools artists already use around a release: the same
partner list Bandsintown for Artists supports. Every partner is in **beta**:
the connection is stored and shown on the team, and features that use it ship
partner by partner.

YouTube and Shopify are full integrations (publishing, shop), not beta.

## Using it [#using-it]

### Connect a partner [#connect-a-partner]

1. Open **Settings → Apps & integrations**.
2. Scroll to the partner's category and pick it.
3. Paste what the form asks for:
   * **Mailchimp, Klaviyo, Kit, ActiveCampaign**: an API key. Aden reads your
     account once to check it; a refused key is never saved.
   * **Everyone else**: your page on that service, like `linktr.ee/yourname`.
     The link has to be on the partner's domain. Website builders accept your
     own domain too.

Connected partners sit at the top of the list with a **Beta** badge. Their
name links to the page you pasted. Pause, reconnect or disconnect from the
row's `…` menu. Disconnecting deletes the stored link or key.

On the phone app, connected partners are listed under **Team → Apps** and can
be disconnected there. Connecting one happens on the web.

### Build your own integration [#build-your-own-integration]

Any tool can integrate with Aden the same way these partners do.

* **API keys**: create one under **API** (Lite plan or higher) and send it as
  a Bearer token to `https://aden.space/api/v1`. Read-only keys reject writes.
  See API & MCP access.
* **Webhooks**: register an HTTPS endpoint with `POST /api/v1/webhooks`. Every
  delivery is signed: verify `x-aden-signature` as
  `sha256=HMAC_SHA256(secret, "<x-aden-timestamp>.<body>")`. Events:
  * `integration.connected`, `integration.disconnected`: a team linked or
    removed an app. `data` holds `provider`, `connection_id` and `account`,
    never a token.
  * `financial_entry.created`, `financial_entry.updated`,
    `financial_entry.deleted`, `financial_entries.imported`
  * `booking.status_changed`, `booking.fee_recorded`
* **OAuth 2.0**: register a client at `/oauth/clients/register` and send users
  through `/oauth/authorize` to act on their behalf.
* **MCP**: point any MCP client at Aden's server; the team picks which tools
  it may call.
* **Website Kit**: the site builders above embed a team's releases and dates
  with the Website Kit on the **API** page.

`GET /api/v1/integrations/platforms` lists every platform Aden connects to,
with `kind` (`partner` for this catalogue) and `beta`.
