| ## When should you use Clerk as an OAuth provider? | ||
|
|
||
| You can use Clerk as an OAuth provider if you want your users to sign in to a third party site or a tool (e.g., Zapier or OpenAI) using their credentials from your application. **This is not the same as supporting an OAuth provider, such as Google, in your application. If you want your users to be able to sign in to your application with an OAuth provider, see [the dedicated guide](/docs/authentication/social-connections/oauth#configuration).** |

Small edit here - I'd be hesitant to recommend Zapier/OpenAI before we actually know it works with them though 😅

OpenAI has worked for some customers, though I don't know the exact config they used. I am pretty sure Zapier has as well, but again I haven't tried. Maybe we use '3rd party tools' for the now until @jeremy-clerk has Zapier working and then mention it?

I removed the e.g. so the final sentence is You can use Clerk as an OAuth provider if you want your users to sign in to a third party site or a tool using their credentials from your application.
