We have refreshed the Marketplace with a new UX and added several features. These improvements introduce a faster, more intuitive way for users to find what they need, be it apps or connectors, or anything else, so customers can focus on what matters most: creating value and maximizing business performance with this pre-built content. Here’s what’s changed
We've added a new Discovery page to help new users discover the best apps to tackle their business challenges, including:
Curated recommendations for free and paid apps.
Apps that customers commonly find success with, and recently trending, popular apps.
Videos that describe other customers' success stories with apps and showcase how you can achieve similar results.
We've improved how users search and filter apps, connectors, Action Flows, and experiences to get to a list of relevant content for their business needs by introducing:
Better search, which now includes most app details (for example name, processes, KPI, tags, etc.) to ensure that users find all relevant content.
Improved filters, which narrow results by process source system so you know you’re getting the results most applicable to you.
We've also redesigned the app tiles and detail pages to help users install apps with confidence:
New tiles include more information to help users make informed selections based on their search results.
The app detail page redesign reduces scrolling and improves content organization, including an overview, required dependencies, demo videos, help content, and more
Additionally, the new Request an App feature enables business users to request app installation from their admins with just one click. At the same time, admins and analysts can act to install these apps with just a click right from their email.
Finally, we allow users to save apps and other modules as favorites to take action in the future. The new Favoritesmarketplace page allows the user to manage these selections, and for admins to review all the saved apps and connectors from their users.
