Uploading Your Own Add-ons

You can build your own add-ons to leverage systems in Jive. Once you build the add-on, upload it to Jive using the Add-ons page.

When you first upload an add-on to your community, we recommend that you first restrict the add-on’s visibility to yourself and test out your tiles by creating a secret group for them. This strategy reduces the impact on your community and gives you a chance to your add-on without setting up an entire separate test environment.

To upload an add-on:

  1. Click your avatar in the top right, and select Add-ons.
  2. From the Add-ons tab, select All Services > Upload Package.
  3. Click Browse to find the .jive ZIP package.
  4. If you're not ready to publish this add-on to your community, select This service is visible only to me.
  5. To test your add-on, create a secret group and experiment with your add-on functionality before making it available to everyone.
