# Data Sources

Data Sources allows Custom Apps to be integrated with external system connection. 

For any external system to be used as a data source, it must be first configured to integrate with VoiceWorx. You can add supported external system connection from Integration -> Connect Systems.

To add data source, select a custom app and go to Data Sources tab.
