Open an app

Open an extension app with an appId

The openApp function exposed by the SDK allows you to open a module of an extension app in Embedded Mode.

The extension app needs to be already installed for the user, and to have been preloaded by Embedded Mode, using the allowedApps setting. Please refer to Support for extension applications for information on preloading an app.

Only extension applications that add navigation links can be opened in Embedded Mode.

To learn more about extension APIs, refer to the relevant developers documentation.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
appId	string	Id of the extension app (as defined in the Admin Portal)
moduleName	string | undefined	The label of the nav item that will be opened. If an app registers several links, this parameter can be used to select which link will open.
containerSelector	string | undefined	Selector of the container to add the new Embedded Mode iFrame into

If an error occurs (for example, if the app is not installed for the user or not loaded, or the app has not registered a nav item), then an error page will be displayed to the user.
