App Extensions

Jump Point supports app extensions provided by other apps. If you are developing an app where Jump Point can add value to, you could plug in an app extension and Jump Point will surface your app to our shared userbase.

Supported App Extensions

If you have an app that can process files, the Tool extension is a right fit for you. As the developer, you can choose if you want to implement the tool as a modal window or as an app service. When a user selects a file in Jump Point, the user can run the tool if the tool supports the file type. More details here.

Currently, Tool extensions can only process files. (Directories, Workspaces, and AppLinks will be supported in a future update.)

If you have an app that uses Protocol or Protocol for Results activations, the App Link Provider extension is a right fit for you. As the developer, you can implement the app link provider as a modal window. Users can import your app's app links into Jump Point by using your extension and integrate your app into their workflow inside Jump Point. More details here.

Currently, App Link Provider extensions can only be implemented as modal windows. (App Link Provider extensions implemented as app services will be supported in a future update.)
