Introduction
In the last module, you created an App and shaped how it looks and behaves. But as we noted, a front end on its own is a bit like a beautiful storefront with nothing on the shelves. To make your App genuinely useful, it needs to connect to the workflows that do the real work.
That connection happens through endpoints. Endpoints are the bridge between your App and your Tines stories, letting your App send data to a workflow or receive data back from one. Once that bridge is in place, your App can do things like submit a request, fetch live information, or trigger an action, all powered by the stories running behind the scenes.
Learning objectives
By the end of this module, you'll be able to:
Explain what endpoints are and how they connect an App to one or more Tines stories.
Create endpoints using Workbench, and manually configure them on a storyboard.
Use the Endpoints tab to view and manage your App's connections.
