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 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.support_ticket.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).

This section provides information on all locations (and the placeholders in these locations) where an app can be rendered for the support_ticket module.

Common placeholders
