Developers can extend Appian using plug-ins. You can find existing plug-ins on the Appian AppMarket, or create your own. Read on to find out more.

Types of plug-ins

As a developer you can create plug-ins that add new capabilities to the Appian platform. Each type of plug-in extends a specific part of Appian.
