The tools your build plugs into
A build is only useful if it can reach the tools you already run your business on. Integrations are those connections. They are how a helper drops a booking straight into your calendar, and how a reminder sends from your own email address rather than some stranger's. This is the layer behind "Turn an enquiry into a booked appointment", where the calendar it writes to is the one you already use, and behind the reminders in "Get paid without the awkward chase", which go out under your name. A build does not replace the tools you have. It plugs into them and takes the tedious part off your hands.
Gmail
A connection to the email a business already runs on. It lets a build read and send from your own Gmail, so a reminder or a reply comes from your real address rather than an unfamiliar one. It is one way the reminders in "Get paid without the awkward chase" go out under your name.

Stripe's tool for handling recurring payments and subscriptions, the paperwork of billing on a schedule.
Stripe Connect
Stripe's tool for platforms that need to take a payment and pass parts of it on to other people, such as paying out several parties from one transaction.
Resend
A service for sending the automatic emails a build produces, reliably, so they land in the inbox instead of the spam folder. Confirmations, reminders and replies all go out through something like this. It is part of how a booking gets confirmed to both sides in "Turn an enquiry into a booked appointment".
Svix
A tool for handling webhooks, the little automatic messages one system sends another when something happens, such as a payment going through.
Telegram
The Telegram messaging app, often used to get an instant alert on your phone the moment something needs you.
GitHub API
A programmatic connection to code stored on GitHub, where software projects live and their history is kept.
Obsidian
A note-taking app that keeps your notes as plain files on your own computer rather than in someone else's cloud.
Cal.com
An open scheduling tool that shows your real availability and books a time straight into your calendar. It is what lets a helper turn a conversation into a confirmed appointment on the spot, which is the heart of "Turn an enquiry into a booked appointment". The same kind of booking sits behind "Answer the questions you get asked all day", where the helper can offer a time as well as answer.
