Hello Builders! This week, we're introducing a new way to embed your Airkit apps into your existing web environments: the Airkit Web SDK! We've also got a new UI in the Console that displays the Health Checks performed on your integrations.
🎉 **Introducing the ! ** 🎉 This is a versatile tool that streamlines the process of embedding your Airkit apps into your existing websites. Unlike out-of-the-box embeds, using the SKD to insert your Airkit apps into your website provides far more customization options regarding your iframe's appearance and how it interacts with your embedded environment. Two of the most notable advantages of the SDK are:

The old means of inserting your Airkit apps into existing websites, the out-of-the-box Airkit embed, is far less versatile. We are now beginning the process of pivoting away from these old embeds, with the goal to depreciate them by August 2023.

🎉 **Introducing the Health Check Tab! ** 🎉 In the , under App Health, there's a new tab: the Health Check Tab. This tracks the health of the integrations that your apps connect to. See the App Health section of the Console doc for more information.
Templates available for selection upon creating a new app are now sorted by type.
Apps can now only be opened in the version of the platform they were built on or an updated version. They cannot be opened in an older version of the platform.
**We're looking forward to seeing what you keep building in the Airkit studio, and thank you for being part of the Airkit Builder community. ** Happy Building!
