Appendix
This appendix outlines the contents introduced in the process of building your first app and provides some links to more in-depth documentation. Return to this document any time you want to review the fundamentals of how to build in Airkit.
Airkit Studio
When you first create an app, you'll be automatically taken to Journey Builder
In the Journey Builder, you can:
Indicate how your Journey is triggered
Define the Steps that make up the application's Journey
Define what Web Flow each Step begins
If there are no Web Flows to select from, you can create a new one
To build or edit a Web Flow, navigate to Web Flows Builder
Web Flows Builder is where you can:
Create and edit Web Flows
Create and edit Web Controls on each Web Page.
Web Controls serve as small UI building blocks.
Example Web Controls include:
Input boxes can accept various various Data Types and store them as variables
The appearance of each Web Control is highly customizable.
Modify them individually, under the "Style" section in the Inspector
Make app-wide changes to Variants using Theme Builder.
Web Controls can be associated with Events and Actions.
Events trigger Action Chains, which are a set of Actions taken sequentially.
Actions dictate how your app will behave
Common Actions include:
Navigating to another Web Page
Performing a custom Data Flow
Custom Data Flows are created in the Connections Builder, see below
To store and structure data, use the AirData Builder
The AirData Builder is where you can define AirData App Objects
Data in AirData App Objects can be stored and queried
In order for the other Builders to have access to an AirData App Object, its definition must be saved and migrated
To use and modify data, use the Connections Builder
The Connections Builder is where you can:
Construct custom Data Flows out of component Data Operations
Data Flows connect the UI of your Airkit apps to other systems, be they part of Airkit (like AirData) or not (like Salesforce).
