After building your monday app, you can install it to use on your own account or share it with others. If you decide to share it, you can do so privately or publicly.

Install your app

You can install the app on your own account for testing, or so other account members can use it in their workflows. The app will not be visible to any monday.com users outside of your account.

1. Click on your profile picture in the top right corner.

2. Select Developers. This will open the Developer Center in a new tab.

3. Create a new app or click on an existing one.

4. Navigate to the App versions tab.

5. Promote the current version of your app to live. Check out this article to learn more about versioning!

6. Navigate to the Install tab.

7. Click Install App.

Share your app privately

Private apps are those you develop and share only with specific users. These apps are useful when building private applications for a specific client or internal teams. Follow these steps if you only want to share your app with particular monday accounts:

1. Complete steps 1-5 in the previous section.

2. Navigate to the Share tab.

3. Once you're ready to share it, accept the developer terms and click Publish App.

4. Copy the shareable URL and send it to your clients! If you want to restrict access to only a few clients, select Share with specific monday accounts and list their account URLs.

5. Once you share the app and a user installs it on their account, they can access it through the marketplace. They can click the Apps puzzle piece icon in the top left corner, navigate to Installed Apps, and locate the app in the Installed outside the marketplace section.

Share your app publicly

Unlike private apps, public apps are available for anyone to use. You can submit your app to the marketplace to make it available for all monday users to see and install on their accounts, or you can share it with other monday users in our community!

App marketplace

The app marketplace provides a centralized location for monday.com users to discover and install new applications that enhance their workflows. Listing your app in the marketplace is the best way to reach as many monday users as possible.

Each app goes through the review process to help ensure that they all comply with our marketplace guidelines. Before submitting your app, we recommend verifying that it meets all requirements on our app review checklist.

Once you've completed the checklist, you can submit your app for approval. One of our team members will review your app and work directly with you through a shared board to address issues or concerns before approving it for the marketplace!

Community

You can still share your app publicly to reach new users if you don't want to list it in the marketplace! The process follows the same steps as sharing your app privately. From there, you can share the URL with anyone so they can install the app. We strongly encourage developers to reach even more users by sharing it in our monday community!

Please note that applications without monday approval will show a banner to indicate that the monday.com team hasn't vetted them (see below).
