The app details page is your app’s storefront and is also where creators land after installing your app, so make it count.

What to include

Your app details page needs:

  • A clear description of what your app does
  • Setup instructions
  • Links to documentation
  • Support information
  • Images and videos to help your app stand out

It may also include the option to alternatively send creators to your app, or an externally hosted onboarding flow, post signup. This can be configured using the Redirect URL after install field. An example of this flow can be seen below.

How to configure

Go to the top navigation menu “Automate” > “Apps” > “Build”.

From there, click your app’s “Edit” button to display a form with fields for the app details page. Then, update these key fields:

Redirect handling

The OAuth redirect parameter automatically sends creators to your app details page after authentication. The URL format is: https://app.kit.com/apps/{app_id}

If you have already published an app, no changes are needed if you’re using our dynamic redirect parameter. Your creators will seamlessly move from installation to your getting started guide. Otherwise, you will need to update your authentication flow to end on the redirect paramater appended to the initial call to your configured authorization URL

Sharing your app with creators

Once you’ve populated the app details page form, click “Save” to save your changes.

You can now go back to the Build page and select your app’s “Preview” option to preview its app details page:

Best practices

Your App Details Page is the primary way creators discover, learn about, and evaluate your app. For installation, it serves as both an educational and sales tool for convincing creators to try your app. Below are the components of a good App Details page:

1

Clear and Compelling Description:

Highlight your app’s purpose and how it enhances the creator’s experience. Include benefits for both the Kit integration and standalone use

2

Standalone & App-Specific Functionality:

Describe how the app works within Kit and what it offers independently as a standalone experience

3

Feature Set:

Provide a concise breakdown of key features and their value

4

Visual Content:

Best Practice: At least 2-3 high-quality images showcasing app functionality along with an annotation on features or benefits of the App - examples:

5

Support Resources:

  • A general link to your app/platform support documentation
  • A Help Center Article specific to your Kit integration with:
    • Clear setup instructions
    • FAQs addressing common creator questions
6

An app video:

Adding a video to your app details page allows you to market your app to Kit creators even further, showcasing the benefits of your app in a new engaging way
