Article summary: Speakap can be fully integrated with the existing software used within your organization (such as to-do lists, LMS, Surveys or work scheduling platforms). This guide explains how network administrators can browse, install, and configure applications from the Speakap Market using the Speakap API.
1. Prerequisites and overview
To browse and add applications from the Speakap Market, you must log in with an active Speakap account that holds a Network Administrator role.
The Speakap API allows your network to connect seamlessly with custom or third-party software packages already deployed in your company workspace.
2. Step-by-step: Adding an application
Follow these steps to access the marketplace and install an app:
- Log into your Speakap network via your desktop browser.
- Click on your profile photo in the top right corner of the page.
- Select Network Settings from the dropdown menu.
- Click on Speakap Market in the navigation menu on the left side of the screen.
- Click the + Application button in the top right corner of the screen.
- Browse and select your desired application from the marketplace list.
- Click Add application.
- Click Install in network to complete the standard installation.
3. Targeting installations to specific groups
You do not have to deploy an application globally. Applications can be installed for your entire network or restricted to specific audiences, such as specific Business Units, Local Departments, or designated Groups.
If you only want an application to be visible to certain members of your workforce:
- Instead of clicking Install in network at step 8 of the standard instructions, click Select Groups.
- Within the Select Groups screen, check the boxes for the specific audiences who should have access to the tool.
Example: You can configure a scheduling app so that it is only visible to the Business Unit: Speakap Amsterdam, the Departments: Accountmanagers, Managers, and Shopassistents, and the Group: Sales. Anyone outside of these selections will not see the app icon.
After selecting your target audience, click Select to confirm and save your visibility settings.
4. Managing application settings
Depending on how an application was built by its engineers, it may feature an independent configuration panel.
- Configuring an app: Look for the settings button (represented by gear wheels located directly next to the trash can icon) on your installed applications list. Click this button to edit the app's internal variables.
- Support: Because these tools connect to external platforms, if you have any questions regarding the internal settings or configuration properties of a specific third-party application, please reach out directly to the developer of the application.
Note: if you want to create a custom application, you can visit developer.speakap.io and learn more there.
