Building Apps
A Factorial Code App is a self-contained implementation unit that solves one challenge on the Factorial platform. An App can be:
- An integration between Factorial and another SaaS (sync employees, time off, payroll…).
- An automation — for example, a form that uploads an XML file and returns another one filled with Factorial information.
- A utility — for example, generating a CSV from data retrieved through the Factorial API to be imported in other platform.
Built with AI
Section titled “Built with AI”You don’t start from a blank file. The Factorial Code Skills teach your AI agent how the platform works, so it writes, tests, and iterates the App’s logic against the Factorial SDKs — you describe the goal and review the result.
Who builds Apps?
Section titled “Who builds Apps?”Factorial Code is built for three kinds of contributors:
- Factorial domain teams — internal teams that own a domain.
- Factorial partners — external companies Factorial works with to build an integration.
- Individual contributors — Factorial end users building their own apps.
What the platform gives you
Section titled “What the platform gives you”You never rebuild infrastructure. Every App workspace inherits a shared foundation with the Factorial API client, ready-to-use templates, scheduling, webhooks, secrets, audit logs, and multi-tenant isolation — and the AI skills give your agent worked examples and reference samples, not a blank file. See Developer journey, Sample apps & foundation, Workspace hierarchy, FactorialClient, and OAuth & API token.
To start, request access. The platform team reviews and grants access; once you’re in, you create and provision Apps yourself from the console.
