How to read the documentation

The Apps platform 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 structure

Section APP STRUCTURE describes how to define and configure the basic elements of a custom app. The basic custom app elements are listed in the top menu in the custom app configuration, for example: Base, Communication, Modules .

Where do I find it?

Go to Menu -> Custom apps tab -> Open your custom app.

App blocks

Every structure element is divided into blocks. Some of these blocks appear in multiple places and share the same purpose, others do not.

Parameters (static or mappable) are available everywhere apart from Base and Functions. Meanwhile, Common data exists only inside Base and Connection.

App components

COMPONENTS are like bricks for APP BLOCKS. Block doesn't exist without components. Multiple components form a block.

Pick a brick that suits your needs and use it. You can use multiple separated components or combine them together by using the nestedproperty. Play around and find the best components combination for you!

When for a call you need to provide a name and an email -> you would use parameters "type": "email" and "type": "text".

[
    {
        "name": "email",
        "label": "Email",
        "type": "email"
    },
    {
        "name": "name",
        "label": "Name",
        "type": "text"
    }
]

When for a call in case X you need to provide a name and in case Y an email-> you would use parameters "type": "select" with nested parameters "type": "email"/ "type": "text" under each option.

[
    {
        "name": "select",
        "label": "Select",
        "type": "select",
        "options": [
            {
                "label": "Case X",
                "value": "caseX",
                "nested": [
                    {
                        "name": "email",
                        "label": "Email",
                        "type": "email"
                    }
                ]
            },
            {
                "label": "Case Y",
                "value": "caseY",
                "nested": [
                    {
                        "name": "name",
                        "label": "Name",
                        "type": "text"
                    }
                ]
            }
        ]
    }
]
