Custom widgets

API framework for 3rd-party vendors or customers to build their own widgets. You can integrate internal applications into the platform to further streamline operations.

Widgets

  • Functionality added in the form of widgets like modules that provide a user with specific functionality — they can be as simple as a single button or as complex as a switcher row.
  • Each widget supports its own configuration and customization, including the ability to set button size and color. The level of configuration required depends on the complexity of the widget.
