# Add services and pipelines

After creating the main application, you need to add the components to the application. These components are known as services/microservices. A microservice is always associated with an application. To know more about how to create an application, click [here](https://docs.opsmx.com/products/opsmx-intelligent-software-delivery-platform/system-setup/applications/add-applications). 

## To add services, follow the steps given below:

**Type:** Select the type of gate using the drop-down, the options are Approval, Verification, Test Verification, and Policy. A gate is an access point that allows you to stop the pipeline to automatically go to the next stage. A gate helps you to manually intervene and verify or approve a stage of the pipeline before moving on to the next stage in the sequence. The following are the options:

### **Approval Type** 

If you select the gate type as "**Approval**", you can do the following:

* Select the connector from the drop-down. The available connectors are:
  * JIRA
  * GIT
  * AUTOPILOT
  * SONARQUBE
  * JENKINS

  * APPSCAN
* Select the Account from the drop-down.
* Select the template from the drop-down.

Click the drop-down and select Add Environment and then enter the name of the environment.
* **Gate Name:** Enter the name of the gate in the text box.
* Click **Save** to add the gate. You can add multiple gates to one service. Click the **Add New Gate** button as shown below:
* When you are trying to add a second gate you can set the dependency of the new gate on a previous gate. To do so, select the previous gate from the **Depends On** drop-down.
