Introduction
In this detailed guide, we will walk you through the process of setting up your own mini app store within your platform.
Mini apps are integrations with third-party services that enhance your chat experience. These can be built visually using a flow builder, which will be covered in a future tutorial.
Today, our focus is on selecting and displaying mini apps through your custom domain, ensuring a tailored experience for your users. Whether you're a partner or a user, understanding this setup is crucial for optimizing your mini app showcase.
Step-by-Step Setup Process
1. Accessing Mini App Settings
Navigate to your Weather Label Settings.
Locate the Mini App Tabs section—this is the control panel for your mini app display.
2. Understanding Default Behavior
No selection made: If you do not select any mini apps, all available mini apps in the store will be visible by default.
Selection required: To display only specific mini apps, you must manually select them.
3. Selecting Mini Apps
The platform currently offers around 30 to 40 mini apps, spread across 4 pages.
To activate a mini app:
Simply turn it on using the toggle switch.
Selected mini apps will then be visible on your custom domain.
4. Managing Mini Apps in Your Workspace
Go to any workspace associated with your account.
Access your custom domain settings.
Open the Mini App Store within your workspace.
You will see only the mini apps you have activated.
5. Example: Adding Payment Mini Apps
For instance, you can add Stripe and Razorpay.
Once added and activated, only these mini apps will appear on your mini app store for that workspace.
