# Configure Interop.io
### Configure for interop.io (ioConnect)
* Go to the **Settings** menu in your Symphony Messaging client and select the **Interoperability** tab.
* Select interop.io from the dropdown menu.
### Configure ioConnect for Symphony Messaging
#### Add Symphony Messaging in the App directory
Symphony Messaging needs to be registered in the App directory, so that it will be able to connect to the platform.
Add a new symphony.json file into your app directory folder (*io.Connect Desktop\UserData\\{IO\_INSTANCE}\apps*):
{% code title="symphony.json" %}
```json
{
"name": "symphony",
"title": "symphony",
"hidden": true,
"details": {
"autoInjectFdc3": {
"enabled": true
},
"fdc3InitsGlue": true,
"allowChannels": true
},
"intents": [
{
"name": "fdc3.ViewInstrument",
"displayName": "View Instrument",
"contexts": [
"fdc3.instrument"
]
},
{
"name": "fdc3.StartChat",
"displayName": "Start Chart",
"contexts": [
"fdc3.chat.initSettings"
]
},
{
"name": "fdc3.SendChatMessage",
"displayName": "Send Chat Message",
"contexts": [
"fdc3.chat.message"
]
},
{
"name": "fdc3.ViewMessages",
"displayName": "View Messages",
"contexts": [
"fdc3.searchCriteria"
]
},
{
"name": "fdc3.ViewChat",
"displayName": "View Chat",
"contexts": [
"fdc3.chat.room", "fdc3.contact", "fdc3.contactList"
]
}
]
}
```
{% endcode %}
#### Configure the authentication
In the `system.json` file, add a custom authenticator "symphony".
Replace your pod sub domain with your actual pod URL.
```json
{
...
"gw": {
...
"configuration": {
"customAuthenticators": {
"symphony": {
"file": "%GDDIR%/assets/authenticators/symphony/index.js",
"configuration": {
"pem": [
"https://{MYPOD_SUBDOMAIN}.symphony.com/client-bff/v1/jwt/publicKey"
]
}
}
}
},
...
},
...
}
```
Once your configuration is complete, please have a look at our [Troubleshooting](/embedded-modules/desktop-interoperability/configuration-guide/troubleshooting.md) guide to validate that everything is working.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.
## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://docs.developers.symphony.com/embedded-modules/desktop-interoperability/configuration-guide/configure-with-the-native-connector.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
in your Symphony Messaging client and select the **Interoperability** tab.
* Select interop.io from the dropdown menu.
