How Apps Work

Apps are separate pieces of software that communicate with the platform’s frontend and backend through a common protocol (such as APIs or events).
They remain independent, but can seamlessly interact with the system and its users.

An App is a way to extend and automate your team’s experience on Wire]. Apps can listen to messages, send responses, and integrate with external services.

Apps are owned and managed at the team level, giving administrators control over:

• Which Apps can be installed
• What data Apps can access
