Editing App (post purchase)
Your Customization Journey: From Marketplace Purchase to Live App
This guide walks you through the typical lifecycle of customizing an app purchased from the marketplace. It demonstrates how quickly you can turn a ready-made template into a powerful, tailor-made tool by modifying its underlying data, automating its logic, and perfecting its user interface.
Step 1: Purchasing and Deploying Your Foundation
The journey begins with selecting a starter template that matches your business needs.
Browse the Marketplace: Navigate through the Global Marketplace and find the app that best fits your initial requirements.
Confirm the Purchase: Review the app details, confirm the purchase, and complete the transaction.
Instant Deployment: The App Builder automatically copies the selected app’s code, data model, and pre-built screens into your workspace. This instantly creates a fully functional, editable copy of the application under your workspace, ready for the next phase.
Step 2: Implementing the Logic (Workflows and Automation)
Workflows in purchased apps are built with placeholder credentials for external services (like Email or SMS).
You must navigate to the Workflows editor and open the automated process you wish to use.
Within each action node, replace the generic connection details with your unique personal or business API keys, tokens, or account credentials.
Step 3: Perfecting the Interface (UI/Design)
Finally, you personalize the user experience, so the app looks and feels like it belongs to your brand. This is handled in the UI Builder.
Access the Screen: Open the main screen where users view app's interface.
Customize the Layout: Use the drag-and-drop editor to rearrange elements.
Apply Branding: Change the app's color scheme to match your corporate brand, update the navigation bar logo, and ensure the app is fully responsive across mobile and desktop views.
Step 4: Publishing and Iteration
Once you are satisfied with the customizations, you can instantly Publish the updated version to your users. The marketplace template served as a robust, fully-functioning starting point, but the final, deployed app is entirely your own customized solution.
