# Add Target

To initiate automated testing with probes, you must first add your target. To do so, open the workspace & target drop-down menu. Once expanded, click the **"Add Target +"** button (Figure 1).

After clicking the button, the Add Target page will appear (Figure 2). On this page, you can choose your connection type and configure your target for automated testing.

Adding a target consists of three steps:

1. Select your preferred connection type between the Platform and the target application. You can find a more detailed explanation of each connection type on the [Connections](/ai-red-teaming/probe/target/index.md) page.
2. Configure your connection on the [Connection Setup](/ai-red-teaming/probe/target/add-target/integration-setup.md) page.
3. Configure your target on the [Target Configuration](/ai-red-teaming/probe/target/add-target/target-configuration.md) page, where the details and capabilities of the target are defined.

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 dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.probe.splx.ai/ai-red-teaming/probe/target/add-target.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

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.
