Gravity apps are the backbone of the entire platform, enabling all core functionality within the workflow builder.
There are two distinct types of apps within Gravity:
Platform Apps
Platform Apps, also known as API Apps, exist for each external platform that can be integrated through Gravity. They contain all needed information related to the external platform, including:

Any time you need to connect to a new system, or update an existing connection to a third-party, you will use the this interface to make the needed changes.
Each app is versioned appropriately, with a developer environment that allows you to build and update apps without disrupting production workflows.
Important Note
Platform Apps are never client-specific; they are always global and built to enable the workflow builder with all needed actions.
Function Apps
Function Apps exist to enable general actions that apply to any platform app, but again fully exist to enable the relevant steps within the workflow builder.
Function apps are categorized by:

Function Apps are built and maintained entirely by the MindCloud team.
App Quality
Each key aspect of an App has an automated Quality Score, which gives you clear direction of everything missing to make the App 100% solid and stable, including key aspects like documentation, data models, authentication, and more.
You can see the Quality feedback at the top-right:

If you click on it, you can see the feedback with every step needed to get the Quality up to 100%:

This Quality review is automatically updated every time the app is changed, giving you a live and running task list.
