Showpad Apps Overview
If you want to create custom sales applications and
integrations specific to your company, industry, and market, you can do that without losing Showpad’s excellent sharing and
tracking capabilities. Showpad's enterprise-grade deployment and permission settings allow you to stay in control of who
has access to each sales application, and content analytics help you see what content works and what doesn't.
These applications can be mobile-friendly calculators, configurators, personalized content navigations, or interactive presentations. The possibilities are endless. Showpad Apps are compatible with all Showpad mobile apps (iOS, Android, Windows) and with Showpad's Web app.

What are Showpad Apps?
Showpad Apps are custom applications that you create. A Showpad App is made of one or multiple Extensions that are rendered/embedded on various extension points. For example an App can contain:
| Extensions | Description |
|---|---|
| Add Content | An extension that enables users to add content to a defined context. |
| Admin Settings | An extension where the admins can configure the app. |
| Asset Viewer | An extension that integrates with the Asset Viewer to augment assets. |
| Experience Type | An extension that you can use to create your own Experiences. These Experiences are an interactive way to organize content for your sales reps. They're used to navigate through your sales content by selecting and opening the content within it. |
| Shared Space | An extension that provides the ability to add Quick Actions to a Shared Space. |
| User Settings | An extension where users can set up their preferences for the app. |
As the creator of the app, you're in control of all aspects of your app:
- the content available,
- the functions it performs,
- the look and feel,
- and more!
When you've completed developing your masterpiece, you can assign it to one or more organizations so their administrators can install it, modify it within the limitations you've defined, and publish it.
