Understanding Apps in Blackbird

A Blackbird App connects an application to the vast Blackbird ecosystem using its API. An App consists of events and/or actions that allow the user to orchestrate workflows. You can manage and set up Apps in the Apps screen of Blackbird.io.

Browsing Apps

Blackbird is rolling out the red carpet with a constant stream of Public Apps. If we don’t have an app pre-built, you can build it yourself - using Blackbird’s SDK.

  1. On the top navigation bar, click Apps.
  2. Click on an App to view or edit its details.
