The Application Builder
When you log into Appivo, you work in the Application Builder, a visual development environment where you can:
- Design data models
- Create user interfaces
- Define business logic with rules and actions
- Configure security and permissions
- Test your application
- Deploy to production
Key Development Areas
Your development work centers around five main areas:
1. Models
Define your data structure. Each model represents a type of data (like Customer, Order, or Product) and automatically becomes a database table.
2. User Interfaces
Design your application screens. You can create multiple interfaces optimized for different purposes: desktop, mobile, and public-facing views.
3. Rules
Set up automated triggers that watch for specific events. Rules define WHEN automated actions should occur, such as when data changes, at scheduled times, or when API calls are received.
4. Actions
Create the operations that execute when rules trigger. Actions define WHAT happens, including sending emails, calling external APIs, or running custom scripts.
5. Integrations
Connect your application to external systems using webhooks, REST APIs, SCIM 2.0, and other integration methods.
