Creating a custom app

When to create a custom app

Custom apps are for tools your team already has that are not in the App Directory — an internal API, a niche SaaS product, or a homegrown system. Once built, a custom app behaves exactly like a normal app: it has tools, triggers, and connections.

Creating a custom app

1. 1

   From the App Directory tap Create App.

2. 2

   Give the app a name and a short description.

3. 3

   Write Instructions describing when and how Zenning should use the app.

4. 4

   Add one or more capabilities — each one represents an action Zenning can take. Provide the method, URL, headers, and any body parameters.

5. 5

   Set permissions: choose whether the app is personal, attached to specific workspaces, or available to selected people.

6. 6

   Tap Create to save — the app is now in your directory.

Editing a custom app

1. 1

   Open the App Directory and filter to custom apps.

2. 2

   Tap your app, then Edit.

3. 3

   Change the name, description, instructions, or capabilities as needed.

4. 4

   Save your changes — active employees will pick them up on the next run.
