Apps and the toolbar

Back to the guide

Settings → Apps, the Apps button at the top right, and ⋯ beside it

Settings → Apps lists third-party apps: services your firm connects to Deeluge with its own account on that service, by saving the firm's API key for it (or the other API credentials the service gives out). Once connected, each one can fill in details on the rows you tick: Apollo for people, the others for companies.

Apps your firm, or a developer you work with, builds on top of Deeluge have their own page under the Developers heading: Settings → Developers → Apps. See Apps built by your team below.

Your mailbox, calendar, AI assistants and the Deeluge API are set up on their own settings pages instead.

Third-party apps

Each app shows its own logo on its card in Settings → Apps and in the Apps button's menu. Preqin has no logo yet and shows a grey square with its first letter.

Opening Apps

There are four ways in.

1. The Apps button. Select the four-squares button at the top right of any page (hover over it to see Apps). Select an app to open its card, or Manage apps at the bottom to open Settings → Apps.
2. The workspace menu. Select your firm's name at the top of the left-hand panel, then Apps.
3. Settings. In the settings panel, select All apps under the Apps heading.
4. Search. Press ⌘K (Ctrl+K on Windows) and type All apps.

Connecting an app

Owners and admins only.

1. In Settings → Apps, select Connect on the app's card. A box opens with one field for each thing the app asks for, and a line saying where to get them from that service.
2. Fill in every field and select Connect. Connect stays greyed out until every field is filled in. The card now shows Connected, the last four characters of the key (Key ending), or of the username for an app with no key (Username ending), and who added it and when.

What each app asks for:

To change them later, select Replace key (Replace credentials for an app that asks for more than a key), fill every field in again and save. To remove them, select Disconnect and confirm.

Everyone else in the firm sees which apps are connected, but not the buttons.

How fast lookups run. Hover the gauge beside the page's title to see your firm's pace, such as Lookups run at up to 60 a minute on the Standard plan. Every lookup, from the Enrich window and from enrichment columns, shares it.

Your key stays private. It, and every other credential, is stored encrypted and is never shown again after you save it: only the last four characters of the key or the username. Passwords and secrets are never shown at all.

Apps under selected rows

Every connected app also shows in the bar at the bottom of a table when you tick rows, after Add to list, Send email and Restrict, which stay where they are. It stays there until you switch it off.

1. Tick one or more rows. The bar opens with the connected apps' logos. Hover one to see what it does, for example Enrich with Grata.
2. Select ⋯ after the apps (Choose apps). Switch an app off to take it out of the bar, and drag the handle at the left of a row to change the order.
3. Up to 15 apps show in the bar. Any more are under a +N button (More apps).

Selecting Apollo's logo (Enrich with Apollo) fills in emails, job titles, LinkedIn URLs and locations for the ticked people: see Enriching people with Apollo. Selecting any other app's logo fills in details about the ticked companies, such as their description, sector, employees and headquarters: see Enriching companies. Your choices are your own and follow you to any computer; owners and admins can make theirs the workspace default from the same menu.

What apps cannot do yet

• The Enrich window fills in the rows you tick when you start it. To have rows filled in by themselves, add an enrichment column. Apollo cannot fetch phone numbers yet.
• PitchBook, S&P Capital IQ, SourceScrub, AlphaSense and Preqin give out API access through your account manager; Crunchbase only on plans that include its API.
• The key and other credentials are not checked when you save them, so paste each whole. A wrong one shows up only when a run stops.

Apps built by your team

In the settings panel, under the Developers heading, select Apps (the puzzle piece, below Webhooks). The page is titled Apps built by your team. Owners and admins only; other people don't see it in the panel, and opening its address takes them to Settings → Apps instead.

An app is software your firm or a developer you work with has built on Deeluge. It is described by a manifest: what it may do, which changes it hears about, and the buttons it adds to records.

Registering and installing

1. Register app, paste the manifest, Register. Every problem with it is listed at once. You are shown the app's signing secret: give it to the developer.
2. Install. You are shown what the app will be able to do before you agree. You then get the app's API key, once: give it to the developer too.

An installed app acts as its own identity. It sees nothing restricted until you add its key — "App: name (API key)" — in Access & permissions.

What an app adds

• Items in a record's … menu, such as Enrich with Acme. Choosing one asks the app to do its work, and shows what it answered.
• Webhooks, listed under Settings → Webhooks as App: ….

Changing and removing

• Manifest changes what an installed app may do, straight away.
• Roll secret gives the app a new signing secret; the developer must update the app.
• Uninstall revokes the app's key and removes its webhooks at once. Records it wrote stay.

For developers: Building an app.

Choosing what the toolbar shows

The buttons at the top right of every page are, from left to right: ⋯, New email (the envelope), Apps, Settings (the gear), Notifications (the bell) and the light or dark theme switch. You choose which of them show and in what order.

1. Select ⋯ at the far left of the buttons (hover over it to see Customize toolbar). A menu opens with one row per button under Show in toolbar.
2. To hide a button, select its row so its switch turns off. The button disappears at once. Select the row again to bring it back.
3. To change the order, press the dotted handle at the left of a row, drag it up or down, and let go. Higher in the list means further left in the toolbar.
4. Select anywhere outside the menu, or press Escape, to close it.

Your choices save as you make them and follow you to any computer you sign in on.

New email is listed only for people who can send email: analysts, admins and owners.

Yours, or the whole firm's

The bottom of the ⋯ menu is a row of icons. Rest the pointer on one and its name shows to its left. The grey icon on the left says Using your own layout (a person) or Using the workspace layout (a building).

• Everyone starts on the workspace layout. Hiding or moving a button gives you your own from then on.
• Use as workspace default (the pin; owners and admins only) makes the toolbar you see the default for everyone who has not made their own. If there is one already, you are asked before it is replaced.
• While you are looking at the workspace default, the pin is highlighted and reads Turn off workspace default. Select it, then Turn off, and everyone without their own layout goes back to the standard one. Your first change while the pin is on asks you to confirm that it applies only to you.
• Reset to workspace default (the circular arrow; shown only while you have your own) drops your own choices and goes back to the firm's.

The same icons sit at the bottom of the sidebar's gears, the ⋯ menu in the bar under selected rows, and each box on Settings → Layout.

What the toolbar cannot do yet

• ⋯ itself cannot be hidden or moved, so you can always get back to these choices.
• If you hide Settings, open settings from your firm's name at the top left instead. If you hide Notifications, you will not see new ones until you show the bell again.
