What are "Plugins" and "Addons" in edoc automate?

You can extend the functionality of an edoc automate app by using a plug-in or an add-on.

Things to know about "Plugins"

In edoc automate, a plug-in is always a single element (action, component, validator (check function), or data source) to fulfill a specific task. All action plug-ins of an app are summarized in the group plugin and can be selected in this namespace in the editor.

Things to know about "Addons"

An add-on in edoc automate is the extension of an app with a collection of related actions and data sources. A default directory structure is always required for add-ons so that the actions and data sources can be recognized and used. An add-on is used, for example, to connect a service using an interface with different actions. You can simply transfer the add-on with all related actions and data sources to another app. The actions of an add-on use their own namespace (name of the add-on) and are displayed under this name in the editor.
