Adding plug-ins by importing plug-in files

To use a plug-in from a Kintone development partner or other provider, add the plug-in by importing it from the plug-in file. Make sure to only import plug-in files from trusted sources.

  1. Click the Settings icon (the gear-shaped icon) at the top of Kintone, then click Kintone administration.

  2. On the Kintone administration screen, click Plug-ins under Other.

  3. On the Plug-ins screen, click Add plug-in at the upper left of the screen.

  4. Click Browse, then select the plug-in file to import ("***.zip").

    • Import the plug-in file in zip format.
    • The maximum file size for a plug-in is 100 MB.
  5. Click Import.

The plug-in is successfully added when it appears in the Imported plug-ins list.
To update the imported plug-in, import the latest version of the plug-in file. The process is the same as importing a new plug-in.

After the plug-in is added by a Kintone administrator, app administrators need to add the plug-in in the settings of individual apps.
