Introduction

A VARIO Cloud App is an external web application that you build and host yourself. It is integrated into VARIO-Cloud in three ways:

• UI integration: VARIO Cloud embeds your App inside an iframe at defined integration points (for example, as a navigation entry or dialog). To the end user, the App appears as part of the ERP UI.

• Data integration via REST API: Your App talks to the VARIO Cloud backend using the public REST API (secured with OAuth2) to read and update ERP data.

• Webhooks: You can send and receive Events triggered by the Cloud App or via Webhooks

The App does not run inside VARIO Cloud itself. Instead, it is a self-hosted service that connects to VARIO Cloud through iframe-based UI integration and the REST API.

App types: private vs public

VARIO Cloud supports private Apps and public Apps.

Private Apps

Private Apps are built for a single customer/organization.

• Any customer on the Enterprise plan can develop and add private Apps.

• Private Apps are not listed in the App Store.

Public Apps (App-Store)

Public Apps are available to all customers via the App Store.

• To develop a public App, you must contact us.

• You must sign an App Store contract.

• Before listing, the App goes through a review process.
