Installation Options for Applications in Bitrix24

When planning user scenarios to be implemented in the application, it's important to understand how the installation process works for a specific Bitrix24 account.

First of all, it's necessary to distinguish between the installation of local applications and mass-market solutions. Therefore, if you initially plan to develop a mass-market solution, it's advisable to start development with the application added to the Developer's area instead of a "test local" application. Otherwise, after debugging the installation process for a local application, you may find that the installation script needs to be changed for the mass-market solution.

A separate installation scenario is implemented for so-called "configuration" solutions: industry CRMs, packages with "smart scenarios", website templates, BI constructor templates, and other types of solutions that are not REST applications but can be published in the Bitrix24 Marketplace.

If you are developing integrations for Bitrix24 using AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot), connect to the MCP server so that the assistant can utilize the official REST documentation.
