Summary

In this chapter, we built another app for a relatively common use case in organizations. We achieved our goal not by building from scratch, but by making use of an existing template to speed up our development time.

While doing so, we learned how we can adapt an existing template to fit our requirements and then add more features on top of it to further enhance the experience and functionality. Finally, we also reviewed the trade-offs on how a functionality can be implemented in different ways, including the creation of a separate app, and learned how it can be built into a single app.

In the current and the previous chapter, our examples were more focused on app creation and the app builder, with limited use of automation. In the next chapter, we will build an app to conduct periodic business reviews and see how automation can help power our use cases.
