Apps
Apps in Flowize connect your flows with the services and tools they need to complete a process. They can help your flows exchange information with external platforms, work with supported communication channels, perform common actions, and extend what you can automate beyond the features available in Flowize itself.
Apps hub
The Apps section opens on the Active apps page, where you can view and manage the apps available in your workspace. Apps are displayed as cards with their icon, type, identifier, name, and creation date. Some cards may also display a warning when a connection is still in progress because configuration steps are missing.
To find an app, use the Search by name or ID field. You can also filter the list by category. The available categories shown in the hub are Custom, Default Channels, Marketplace, and Tools. You can select more than one category or clear the selected filters.
Each installed app has a More actions menu. The options shown are:
- Open: open the app.
- Duplicate: create a copy of the app.
- Delete: remove the app.
Add an app
To create a new app connection, select Add app in the Apps hub. The New App page lets you search by name or ID and choose how to start:
- Custom integration: build and customize your own connection.
- Marketplace app: start from one of the available app templates.
The rest of the setup depends on the type of app selected. The following articles explain the specific characteristics and configuration steps for each app type.
After an app is available in your workspace, you can configure it and make its functions available in the flow designer. These functions can receive values from your flow, send information to a connected service, and return data that can be used by later steps. This lets you combine Flowize data and logic with the services your organization already uses.
