Markdown versions of documentation pages are available by appending `.md` to page URLs; this page is available as [Markdown](https://developers.make.com/custom-apps-documentation/get-started/how-to-read-the-documentation.md). # Documentation guide The custom apps documentation is divided into topic groups. The topic groups are structured the same way as you would navigate inside the Apps builder in Make. ## App components The [APP COMPONENTS section](https://github.com/integromat/make-apps-sdk-docs/blob/master/get-started/broken-reference/README.md) describes how to define and configure the basic elements of a custom app. The basic custom app components are listed in the top menu in the custom app configuration, for example: [Base](/custom-apps-documentation/app-components/base.md), [Connections](/custom-apps-documentation/app-components/connections.md), and [Modules](/custom-apps-documentation/app-components/modules.md).

The Make app environment main app tabs correspond to the app components in the documentation.

## Component blocks Every structure element is divided into blocks. Some of these blocks appear in multiple places and share the same purpose, while others do not. For example, parameters (static or mappable) are available everywhere apart from Base and Functions. Meanwhile, common data exists only inside Base and Connection. Information detailing these blocks can be found in the [COMPONENT BLOCKS section](https://github.com/integromat/make-apps-sdk-docs/blob/master/get-started/broken-reference/README.md).

When viewing module details, the tabs correspond to component blocks in the documentation.

## Block elements [Block elements](https://github.com/integromat/make-apps-sdk-docs/blob/master/get-started/broken-reference/README.md) are like bricks for component blocks. A block doesn't exist without these elements. Multiple elements form a block. Pick a brick that suits your needs. You can use multiple, separated components or combine them together using the nested property. --- # Agent Instructions 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://developers.make.com/custom-apps-documentation/get-started/how-to-read-the-documentation.md?ask=&goal= ``` `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.
