Building Apps for epilot

Build, publish, and monetize integrations that extend the epilot platform — the operating system for energy and utility companies across Europe.

What Are Apps?​

Apps are modular extensions that enhance the epilot platform's core functionality. Developers build apps to add custom journey blocks, portal extensions, automation actions, and third-party integrations — then publish them to the epilot Marketplace where energy and utility companies can discover and install them.

Each app is a self-contained package that can be versioned, configured, and updated independently. Apps follow a standardized development and publication workflow, making it straightforward for external partners and developers to extend the platform in consistent, maintainable ways.

App Components on epilot​

Apps on epilot consist of modular components that extend platform functionality in specific ways. Each component type addresses different integration needs and can be combined within a single app to create comprehensive solutions.

See the App Components section for detailed information on each component type, and App Surfaces to learn how your app communicates with the epilot platform using the @epilot/app-bridge library.

Current Component Types​

Custom Journey Blocks: Web components that integrate into Journey Builder to collect data, perform calculations, or display interactive elements.

Portal Extensions: Components that enhance epilot's customer and installer portals with additional functionality and visualizations.

External Product Catalog: Components that integrate third-party product catalogs into epilot.

Coming Soon​

note

These component types are planned for future releases and are not yet available.

  • Custom Automation Tasks: Define custom tasks that plug into epilot's automation workflows.
  • Custom Journey Design: Create custom designs for customer journeys, including layouts, styles, and interactive elements.
  • Email Plugins: Extend and customize email templates and functionality.
