Adalo Plugins & Extending Your App
Builders coming from WordPress or Bubble usually search for "Adalo plugins". Adalo works differently: functionality is added through marketplace components, integrations and embedded web pages rather than a plugin directory you install into. This page explains the real options.
What people mean by an Adalo plugin
Usually one of three things: a UI component Adalo does not ship, a connection to an outside service, or a background behaviour such as scheduled notifications. Each has a different solution.
Components
Adalo has a component marketplace, and custom components can be developed against its component SDK. That covers UI components rendered natively inside the app. It is the most native option and also the slowest to build.
Integrations
For behaviour rather than UI, sending data somewhere, reading remote records, triggering an automation, external collections and custom actions do the job without any component development.
Embedded web tools
When you need an interface Adalo cannot draw and you do not want to build a component, a hosted page in a WebView is the pragmatic middle ground. Webnux Tools tools work this way: you configure the tool, copy its URL, and drop it into a WebView.
- AI Chatbots, a hosted chat interface inside your app.
- Multi Image Picker, select and upload several files in one flow.

Questions
Does Adalo have a plugin store?
Adalo has a component marketplace rather than a general plugin system. Functionality beyond UI is normally added through integrations or embedded web pages.
Are Webnux Tools tools plugins?
No. They are hosted tools you connect through an external collection or embed through a WebView component. Nothing is installed into your Adalo editor.
