Article Number:040566

Plug-ins are used to extend the features of apps.
This page explains how to add plug-ins to an app and configure them, as well as how to delete plug-ins from the app.

Adding Plug-Ins to an App

To use a plug-in with an app, a kintone Administrator first needs to add the plug-in in kintone Administration. Only plug-ins that have been added in kintone Administration can be added to an app.
Also, plug-ins that have already been added in kintone Administration may allow only certain apps to use them. A plug-in can be added to an app only if the app has been allowed to use the plug-in in the plug-in's settings.

For more information on adding plug-ins in kintone Administration and setting the allowed apps for a plug-in, refer to the following pages.
