Flex Plugin Library



Overview

overview page anchor

The Flex Plugin Library(link takes you to an external page) is a collection of ready-to-install Flex plugins. It simplifies the discovery and installation of quality Flex plugins. You can install a library plugin directly on the Manage Plugins(link takes you to an external page) page of the Flex UI without having to use the Flex Plugins command line interface (CLI).

Info

Plugins in the library require Flex UI version 2.x.x or later. If you are still on Flex UI version 1.x.x, you won't be able to install plugins from the library. Consider migrating to Flex UI 2.0 to use the library.


You can browse the Plugin Library directly from the Twilio Flex Plugins(link takes you to an external page) page or from the Manage Plugins page in the Admin dashboard, which is shown below.

Plugin Tabs.

This view in the Admin dashboard has changed since the introduction of the Plugin Library. Here's a glossary of the tabs:

  • Plugin Library : This is where ready-to-install Flex plugins live. Plugins in the library are plugins built by the Twilio product teams.
  • Custom plugins : This tab was previously called "Plugins" and lists plugins that customers have developed or customized and uploaded via the Plugins CLI. You can even customize a plugin from the Plugin Library.
  • Custom plugin releases : This tab lists all the versions of the Custom plugins you have released and allows rolling back to a previous release.

If you're logged in to the Flex Admin dashboard, you're ready to install, update, or unistall a plugin, depending on your needs. If you found a plugin through the Twilio Flex Plugins(link takes you to an external page) page, you must log in to Twilio Console before you can add or modify the plugin in your Flex instance.


The Manage Plugins page displays a collection of ready-to-install Flex plugins. Click a plugin thumbnail to view more details. The Plugin Details page describes the functionality the plugin provides and related attributes such as plugin versioning, supported Flex UI versions, and required installation steps.

To install a plugin, click Install on the Plugin Details page and provide any necessary information the plugin requires. Also make sure you follow additional Twilio Console steps outlined in the page.

If for some reason you don't need the plugin anymore, click Uninstall on the page.
