Extend Wire with secure Apps
Wire is the most secure, end-to-end encrypted platform for calling, messaging, and document sharing — designed for modern, privacy-conscious collaboration.
It enables teams and organizations to communicate seamlessly while maintaining the highest standards of privacy, security, and compliance.
🧩 What is the Wire Integration SDK?
The Wire Integration SDK is a developer toolkit that enables developers to build custom apps, bots, and integrations that run inside the Wire secure messenger — similar to how Slack or Microsoft Teams allow custom apps.
It provides a programmatic interface (API + SDK) for securely interacting with:
- 🗨️ Wire conversations
- 👥 Users and teams
- 💬 Messages and assets (text, files, voice notes, and media)
- 🔐 End-to-end encryption (MLS-based security layer)
With the Integration SDK, developers can go beyond manual client use — building automated, intelligent, and privacy-preserving apps that extend Wire’s capabilities.
👋 Welcome Developers
This page is dedicated to our developer community — helping you get started quickly with the Wire Integration SDKand begin building secure, powerful apps in minutes.

🌐 Why Is It Important?
The Integration SDK is the foundation of Wire’s extensibility and automation ecosystem.
It empowers partners, enterprises, and internal teams to create compliant, secure, and end-to-end encrypted tools that integrate seamlessly into Wire — without breaking the security model.
Think of it as Wire’s equivalent of:
- Slack’s App Framework
- Microsoft Teams’ Bot Framework
- Discord’s Bot API
By enabling developers to extend Wire, the SDK transforms Wire from a product into a platform.
🧱 What Does the SDK Include?
The current version of the Integration SDK is the Wire Apps SDK (JVM) — built in Kotlin/Java.
It provides all the core capabilities needed to build secure, server-side applications and bots that interact with Wire.
🧩 Wire Apps
Wire Apps are secure, lightweight extensions built using the Wire Integration SDK.
They run inside the Wire messenger, enabling new features, automations, or integrations — all while preserving Wire’s end-to-end encryption and compliance guarantees.
In simple terms, apps make Wire more powerful and customizable — allowing teams to streamline workflows, connect to external systems, or add intelligent behavior directly in conversations.
🧠 What Can Apps Do?
Wire Apps can:
- 💬 Interact in chats — send and respond to messages just like a user or bot.
- ⚙️ Automate workflows — trigger actions based on events (e.g., reminders, approvals, alerts).
- 🔗 Integrate with external services — connect Wire with tools like Jira, GitHub, or Zendesk.
- 🔔 Enhance collaboration — create polls, summaries, or meeting follow-ups inside chat.
- 🧱 Operate securely — every interaction remains fully encrypted, following Wire’s MLS standard.

🚀 Why It’s Exciting for Wire’s Future
The Integration SDK turns Wire into a platform, enabling a growing ecosystem of secure and collaborative extensions.
With the SDK:
- 🏢 Developers can build secure enterprise workflows directly inside chats.
- 🤝 Partners can offer privacy-preserving integrations (e.g., Jira, Zendesk, GitHub).
- 🧠 Enterprises can automate alerts, compliance checks, or internal processes through Wire apps.
This ecosystem approach strengthens Wire’s adoption, developer engagement, and long-term platform potential — all while maintaining the company’s core value of uncompromised security.
