On the product UI, an app can be rendered in any of the locations that the module supports. This module supports rendering an app in common placeholders and module-specific placeholders.
To render an app in the common placeholder, in manifest.json > modules.common.location.<placeholder-name>, you can specify the placeholder in the product’s left-navigation pane where the app is eventually rendered.
To render an app in a module-specific placeholder, in manifest.json > modules.sales_account.location.<placeholder-name>, you can specify the placeholder on a page where the app is eventually rendered.
Notes:- You can specify multiple placeholders in manifest.json > modules.
- Freshworks product apps are supported only as web apps (and not as mobile apps).
