# Extension API Services

The Client Extension API uses services for communication between your application and the Symphony client. The Client Extension API provides a set of services that your application can leverage to extend the Symphony Client and to create custom workflows and experiences.

## Client Extension API Services:

The Client Extensions API provides the following remote services:

### **Modules Service**

Use the `modules` service to create application-specific modules**:**

[Modules Service](/ext-apps/overview-of-extension-api/extension-api-services/modules-service.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}

### **Applications-Nav Service**

The Applications navigation section is found at the bottom of the left-hand sidebar of the Symphony client workspace. Use the `applications-nav` service to create a navigation item for your application**:**

{% endcontent-ref %}

### **UI Service**

Use the `ui` service to extend various parts of the Symphony client user interface. For example, add buttons on 1 to 1 chats and chatroom modules or add links to the **#**hashtag and $cashtag hovercards:

{% content-ref url="/pages/-MJPWunLWVovXwbEuUf2" %}
[UI Service](/ext-apps/overview-of-extension-api/extension-api-services/ui-service.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}
