## How to Choose Which Integrations to Set Up
**Start with your daily tools:**
Look at what apps you use most:
- Where does your team communicate? → Slack integration
- Where do you track work? → Linear/Jira/Asana
- Where is your knowledge base? → Notion/Confluence
- Where is your data? → Database integrations
**Add integrations as needs arise:**
Don't set up everything at once. Add integrations when you find yourself wishing Claude could access a specific tool.
**Prioritize by friction:**
Which context switches cost you the most time?
- Constantly checking Notion docs → Notion integration
- Creating tickets manually → Linear/Jira integration
- Looking up customer data → Salesforce/CRM integration
