If you’re part of our beta, welcome aboard—you’re among the first to see how straightforward it can be to deploy internal business apps with Deplyr. We’ve tried to keep things simple so you can focus on building, not wrestling with complex setups.
Below is a quick-start guide to help you hit the ground running.
Quick Notes About Deplyr
- Not Exactly No-Code: Deplyr isn’t a pure no-code platform, but you don’t have to be a hardcore dev to use it. We believe LLM-generated code and some guidance should be enough to help you deploy your ideas.
- Limited Integrations (for now!): We currently support Airtable, Google Sheets, and QuickBooks Online. More are on the way.
- Still in Private Beta: Bugs might pop up. If you spot anything weird or run into issues, let us know so we can fix it ASAP.
Step 1: Getting Set Up
- Get a Deplyr Account
- If you haven’t already joined the beta, click here
- Join Our Community (Optional)
Step 2: Building Your First App
- Log In
- Connect Your Integrations
- If your app needs to talk to external services (like Airtable or Google Sheets), head to the Integrations tab and click “Connect” on the ones you need.
- Create a New App
- Click “New App.” You can either write your own code from scratch or have AI generate it based on a description you provide. (You can always tweak the code later—either manually or with AI.)
- Share Your App
- Your new app is live right away, but initially only you can see it. To give others access, hit Share and adjust visibility or invite teammates.
Step 3: Tweaking & Improving Your App
App Components - Each app consists of the following components:
- Frontend: A single HTML/JS file for the user interface.
- Backend (“Actions”): Each Action is a Node.js snippet that connects to services like Google Sheets or Airtable.
- Data: Each app has a simple key-value store you can read (
kv.get) and write (kv.put).
Managing Users
- Go to Organization to add new members and set roles.
- Administrator: Full permissions to edit/view all apps, manage users, and edit integrations.
- Developer: Can edit/view all apps, and also manage integrations.
- View: Can only see apps they’ve been given permission to access.
Logs & Troubleshooting
- Admins or Developers can view backend logs while using the app, making it easier to track down bugs or performance issues.
- Use console.log on frontend or backend code to view it in the log display widget.
Step 4: What’s Next?
We’re constantly improving Deplyr based on feedback from our early users. Upcoming features include:
- More integrations with popular services
- Advanced deployment options
- Better logging and analytics
