# Applications Management

{% embed url="<https://rechatq.wistia.com/medias/qmiu3opsdl/manage>" %}

## Applications Management Is Here

Rechat's new **Applications Management** experience gives Brokerage Administrators greater control over the tools and resources available to their users.

From a single location, administrators can install applications, configure integrations, organize where applications appear throughout Rechat, and even deploy Custom Applications built specifically for their organization.

Whether you're connecting a third-party platform, providing quick access to internal resources, or extending Rechat with custom-built solutions, Applications Management provides a flexible foundation for creating a more connected experience.

***

### What's New?

Brokerage Administrators can now:

* Install applications from the Rechat App Store
* Create Website Links to external tools and resources
* Configure Single Sign-On (SSO) applications using SAML
* Install Custom Applications using a manifest URL
* Organize applications by workspace
* Edit and remove installed applications

All application management is performed directly within the **Applications** section of your Brokerage Settings.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Applications Management is only available to Brokerage Administrators.

### Organize Applications by Workflow

Applications can now be assigned to different areas of Rechat depending on when and where users need access to them.

Available application locations include:

#### Today

Display frequently used applications and resources directly on the Today page.

#### Contact Profile

Provide applications while viewing an individual contact.

#### Contact List

Surface tools designed for workflows involving multiple contacts.

#### Deals

Make transaction-related applications available directly within Deals.

This allows brokerages to create a more contextual experience by placing applications where they provide the most value.

***

### More Than Just Integrations

Applications Management supports several different application types, giving brokerages flexibility in how they extend Rechat.

#### Rechat App Store

Browse and install supported applications directly from the Rechat App Store.

#### Website Links

Provide quick access to external websites, resources, or internal tools.

#### Single Sign-On (SSO)

Configure supported SAML-based applications so users can securely access connected platforms.

#### Custom Applications

Organizations with internal development resources or technology partners can build custom applications that integrate directly with Rechat.

Custom Applications can appear alongside native Rechat functionality, allowing organizations to deliver specialized workflows without requiring users to leave the platform.

***

### Why It Matters

Every brokerage has its own technology stack, business processes, and operational workflows.

Applications Management gives organizations the flexibility to bring those tools into Rechat, creating a more connected experience for agents while reducing the need to switch between multiple platforms.

Whether you're installing an application from the App Store, providing access to an internal resource, or deploying a custom-built solution, Applications Management makes it easier to deliver the right tools in the right place.
