Adding/Deleting Plug-Ins (App Settings)

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.

Up to 20 plug-ins can be used for an 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.
