# Recipes

> One page for each app BlueBot works with, with the trigger, the BlueBot step, the fields to map and a test that texts only you.

A recipe is the shortest way to connect one app to BlueBot. Each app has a page of its own, and each recipe on it says what starts it, which BlueBot step does the work, which fields go where and how to try it with your own number before anyone else gets a text.

Recipes reach BlueBot four ways. Pick the one you already use; the recipe says which it takes.

Recipes show what to set up, not every screen of the other app. When a recipe needs more than a few steps, a [guide](https://usebluebot.com/docs/guides) walks through the whole build.

> **Test with your own number first.** Every recipe’s test step texts your own phone. Turn a workflow on for other people only after that text arrives from your number and its status comes back.
