# Integration Guide
Integrations can be used to connect Steamcord to various services, e.g. Discord guilds and game servers.
# Create an Integration
Navigate to the dashboard (opens new window), select your organization, and click
Integrations in the side nav. If applicable click the New Integration button, then fill out the
form.
# Game Server Configuration
Game servers require a plugin for most action types. For Rust, install the
Rust plugin and use your integration's ID (found after the
integration name or in the URL) for the IntegrationId config property.
# Create an Action
After creating your integration, you will be prompted to create a new action. Actions can be used to reward players for linking their accounts, joining your Discord guild, Steam group, and more. Every time a player is updated, their eligibility is calculated for all actions, after which the corresponding actions are invoked.
# Requirements
Requirements are the conditions a player must meet for an action to be run. For example, to run an
action when a player has a Discord and Steam account linked check Discord Linked and Steam Linked.
# When to run this action
Every time a player meets the requirements or Every time a player does not meet the requirements cover most use cases, however running an action only once is also possible.
# What to do when this action is run
Finally, you can select an action type and provide the type-specific arguments. Available action types vary depending on the integration type.
# Example
A common use case of actions is to give and remove an in-game group. For example, to give an Oxide group to players who link their Discord and Steam accounts you can configure two actions as follows:
| Setting Name | Value |
|---|---|
| Requirements | Discord, Steam |
| Name | add linked group |
| When to run this action | Every time a player meets the requirements |
| What to do when this action is run | Add Oxide Group |
| Group Name | linked |
| Setting Name | Value |
|---|---|
| Requirements | Discord, Steam |
| Name | remove linked group |
| When to run this action | Every time a player does not meet the requirements |
| What to do when this action is run | Remove Oxide Group |
| Group Name | linked |
The first action adds the group when a player meets the requirements and the second removes it.
