Understand extensions

Zoho Creator equips you with the tools to build apps to run your business efficiently. Looking at real-time examples, certain aspects of an app are common across business streams or app provisions. To eliminate the hassle of recreating the same kind of component for different apps, we have introduced extensions. You can install these extensions and use them in tandem with your app.

For instance, a shipment tracking process is a characteristic trait to multiple services. A food delivery service can use this tracking system to track the status of a delivery. Similarly, a mailing service firm can use the same tracking system to track mails that have been dispatched across locations. Thus, a single component can effectively service different sectors. This component is developed and published, and can be used as an extension in your app.
