With its intelligent capabilities and microapp integrations, Citrix Workspace helps employees tackle their everyday tasks more efficiently and be more productive. Key components of popular business apps are isolated and exposed to end users, who can complete tasks and receive notifications directly within Citrix Workspace. The experience is consistent across devices and helps to drive productivity by reducing context switching and giving users only the information they need — no more, no less.
Citrix’s low-code microapp builder streamlines the process for developers creating microapp integrations for Citrix Workspace. This simple but powerful tool cuts down the complexity of linking SaaS apps to Citrix Workspace.
In January, we launched the Citrix Developer Program for Workspace to provide developers with the tools and resources they need to start building microapp integrations. We also made it possible to extend your relationship with Citrix by having your microapps tested and validated for security and performance and earn the Citrix Ready designation. It’s a stamp of approval that helps build trust and confidence with your users. By joining the Citrix Ready Partner Program, you can have your integrations listed in our microapp catalog in the Citrix Ready Marketplace and, ultimately, in Citrix Workspace itself.
Now, we are launching a new Community Forum for microapp integrations to give developers a space to share their work, even if it’s not fully tested or even feature complete. By posting on the Community Forum you are gaining exposure to a community of developers who can provide feedback and help you to hone your concept so you can deliver maximum business value to your end user.
Posting your microapp integration is a three-step process:
- Export: Export your microapp integration in one click from the low-code builder
- Attach: Attach your exported file to a post on the Community Forum
- Explain: Highlight the key pieces of information other developers will need to know
The Community Forum also enables content consumers to download, modify, and collaborate. All microapp integration files posted to the forum can be downloaded and imported into the low-code microapp builder to be tested or extended. You can then vote up or leave comments on your experience. Feedback and iteration are all part of the process.
New to microapp development? The forum is a great place for you, too. The wide range of functionality you can implement with the low-code microapp builder is amazing, and the Community Forum is the place to see the full gamut of possibilities. Everything from pet projects to product prototypes have a place here, and this diversity of ideas and implementations make the Community Forum a powerful learning tool or brainstorming aid.
The Citrix Ready Partner Program is not going anywhere. The Community Forum complements the partner program as a space to start learning, building, and iterating together. It’s our hope that some of the best ideas generated on the Community Forum will eventually become fully vetted, supported, and deployed by customers as Citrix Ready validated microapps. There’s no rush though. The future of work is a new concept for everyone, and the Community Forum is here so we can build it together.
We’re excited about the potential impact microapp integrations — created by the community, for the community — can have on the future of work. We encourage you to sign up, and we look forward to seeing your first post!
