Hello everyone!
We're thrilled to announce the launch of the revamped Zoho Creator Developer Console—a dedicated platform designed specifically for Creator developers and Partners to build, test, and distribute apps to your clients. Developer Console is essentially Custom Apps in a revamped avatar, crafted to ensure your business flourishes in partnership with us.
Now let's dive straight into what this is all about!
The all-new Developer Console comes with numerous industry-leading capabilities that make it the ultimate low-code app development and distribution hub. Here's what sets it apart:
Adhere to SDLC - Developer Console offers different environments, such as Development and Staging, where developers can work on and test changes in a controlled space. Using these environments, application changes are thoroughly tested in a staging environment before rolling them out. This guarantees that only a fully tested app is sent to the clients and ensures a smoother release.
Monetize your ideas with scalable distribution - Developed a Creator app with potential for widespread use? Publish it to millions of users on
Zoho Marketplace and turn it into a profitable endeavor. Effortlessly distribute your custom applications to a broad audience or choose to privately share only with specific clients.
Continuous improvement and prompt updates - Ensure your applications are continuously improved according to your client's needs without interrupting their operations. Whether it's new features, updates, or bug fixes, you can seamlessly develop, test, and deploy updates to clients. They can then install these updates with just a few clicks.
Secure your source code - Develop innovative apps and distribute them with confidence, knowing your source code remains secure. Your hard work deserves protection, and we'll ensure your code is safeguarded. Your clients will never have access to your source code.
Marketplace integrity - A comprehensive review process for apps submitted to the Zoho Marketplace ensures that only legitimate and reliable apps are available.
How does it work?
- Visit developer.zoho.com and sign up. Then choose Zoho Creator on the service listing page.
