# Application templates overview

Use templates to develop your Connect applications.

Application templates serve as a robust starting point for developing your Connect applications. We built them following our recommended design scope to ensure the use of best practices when integrating with third-party services.

Using the templates can help guide your development and reduce implementation time.
