Partnership Models

Model 1: Standard SaaS App Service

After a standard SaaS app service product is published on DingTalk, it can be promoted in the following two ways:
  • App Market Promotion: If you already have an app product or plan to develop one, and you have a clear business model that meets the DingTalk App Market publishing standards, you can publish it to the App Market for promotion after passing the review. Once the app is published, customers can search for, view, install, and purchase the app in the DingTalk App Market.
  • Own-Channel Promotion: If you already have an app product or plan to develop one, you can use the API provided by DingTalk to generate an offline promotion QR Code, and promote the app through the service provider’s own channels or channels outside DingTalk (such as external advertisements or third-party official websites). Customers can install the app by scanning the QR Code or clicking the link.
Important Own-channel promotion is subject to a Strict review. Before onboarding, join the service group below to consult and confirm the details before submitting your onboarding and development requests, so as to avoid failing the review after development is complete. The following figure shows the process for publishing an app to DingTalk: The process above describes the overall flow from onboarding, app development, and app product creation to product publishing for product solution providers. For the most basic integration, you only need to complete Transaction Information Push Integration. For the complete detailed process, see App Publishing Process. Note If you need additional extended features, refer to App Market Open Capability Integration to integrate them on your own based on your business needs.

Model 2: Customization Service

After becoming a DingTalk product solution provider, you can use the data APIs and resources of the DingTalk Open Platform to provide personalized, project-based development or integration for DingTalk users. For example: customized Workbench, customized system integration, and other technical development services.
