Include placeholders for app deployment

On the product UI, an app can be rendered in any of the locations that the module supports. This module supports rendering an app only in the common 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.

Note:Freshworks product apps are supported only as web apps (and not as mobile apps).

Common placeholders

full_page_app

The app icon is displayed on the left navigation pane and when clicked, the app page occupies the entire viewport.

The placeholder can have only one active app at a time.
