Community Packs

Palette Community Packs are packs that are created and maintained by the Spectro Cloud community. They provide important integrations with Spectro Cloud Palette.

We welcome all contributions to the Spectro Cloud community packs, either by adding new packs or updating existing packs. You can read our Contribution Guidelines in the community packs repository. Check out the Deploy a Custom Pack tutorial to learn more about how to build and deploy your own custom pack.

warning

All community packs are reviewed, and if they have followed the Contribution Guidelines, they are accepted by Spectro Cloud. However, unlike Verified Packs, Spectro Cloud does not actively maintain and update community packs. Therefore, updates to these packs depend on community contributors.

Supported Environments​

Palette comes with a default community pack registry hosted by Spectro Cloud that is available to all tenants in the Multi-tenant SaaS architecture. For different deployment models, the registry must be added manually. Refer to the table below to check if your environment includes the Palette Community Registry. If your environment does not include the registry, contact our support team for assistance.
