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.
