# App Connections

> A connection between a manual-type app install and a client, company, or group of clients, delivering embed or link content.

This resource represents a single connection between a **manual-type** [App Install](/docs/api-reference/resources/app-installs) and a [Client](/docs/api-reference/resources/clients), [Company](/docs/api-reference/resources/companies), or group of clients. A manual setup app install enables service businesses to share content visible only to the clients, companies, or groups of clients specified in the app connection.

Each manual app connection can be either an **embed** or a **link**. **Embeds** are added into Assembly as iframes, while **links** direct clients to an external URL. Links are typically used for applications that block iframe embedding.

You can read more about manual setup apps [here](https://www.assembly.com/guide/intro-to-apps#embed-setup-type).
