App visibility

Private app

A private app can only be used by the author of the app until the app is installed in an organization to which the author and other users have access.

If you want to make your app available to everyone in your organization, create a new scenario with your app and save the scenario there.

A dialog about the confirmation of installation of your app in your organization will pop up. Confirm the installation.

A private tag is displayed after your app's name on the app's page.

Deletion of a private app

If your private app is not used in any of your scenarios, you can delete the private app.

Deletion of a module in a private app

You can delete a module only if it is not used in any scenario. If you will try to do so, a warning dialog with a request to remove the module from a scenario first will pop up.

Deletion of a component in a private app (webhook, connection, RPC, custom IML function)

You can delete a component only if it is not used in any module. If you will try to do so, a warning dialog in the right-down corner will pop up.

Public app

If you want to share your app outside of your organization, you will need to publish your app, so the invite link is generated.

Go to your app and open your app's page. Click Publish in the right upper corner.

Once you publish the app, the invite link is generated. You can share it with any other Maker who will then install it in his/her organization. It doesn't matter, where the organization is located (EU1 or US1).

Deletion of a public app

Once the app is published, it is not possible to delete the app or make it private again.

If you wish to have your public app deleted, contact our helpdesk and we will remove the app from your account.

Deletion of a module or other component in a public app (webhook, connection, RPC, custom IML function)

Once the app is published, it is not possible to delete any module or component.

We recommend you change the component's label the way so that it is obvious the component should not be used, e.g. [DO NOT USE] My unwanted module. Make sure the module is hidden.

Distribution control of modules in a public app

If you actively share your public app via an invite link, you can control the distribution of modules that you have in your public app by making them hidden/visible.

If you hide an already visible module, that is currently in use in a scenario, the module will continue working in the scenario. Though, the hidden module will not be available in the app selector in a new scenario.

Approved app (=globally available app)

If you want to have your app available to all Makers, you will need to first make sure your app follows our conditions and best practices.

pageApp review prerequisitespageBest practices

Once you make sure your app follows our conditions and best practices, click Request review button.

Once the app passes our review process, it becomes available for everyone to use in our App Builder. That mean's that any user on Make can add your app to his/her scenario and use it.
