Quickstart: Falcon Console

Build a Foundry app entirely in the browser using the Falcon console’s App Builder. No CLI installation required.

Prerequisites

In the Falcon console, go to Foundry > App manager.
Click Create app.
Choose Start from scratch or select an App template from the Content Library.
Enter a name and description for your app.
Click Create.

The App Builder opens with your new empty app.

From the App Builder, you can add any of the following capabilities to your app:

API Integrations — Connect to external REST APIs or CrowdStrike APIs
Collections — Define structured data stores with JSON Schema
Functions — Write Python functions in the browser-based editor
Queries — Add LogScale (CQL) saved searches
Workflow Templates — Build Fusion SOAR workflow automations
Dashboards — Create dashboard views with query widgets
UI Extensions — Add panels to Falcon console pages using the Extension Builder

Each capability is added from the app’s capability summary page. Click the capability type, then follow the on-screen prompts to configure it.

Foundry provides two testing modes:

Development mode — Load your in-progress app in the Falcon console. Changes you make are reflected in real time. Development mode is only visible to you.
Preview mode — After deploying, preview the app as it will appear to end users before releasing it.

To enter development mode, click Dev mode in the App Builder toolbar.

Deploy — Click Deploy in the App Builder. This pushes your app to the Falcon platform.
Release — After deployment succeeds, click Release to make the version available for installation.
Install — Go to Foundry > App catalog, find your app, and click Install.

Once installed, your app’s UI extensions, workflows, and other capabilities are active in the Falcon console.
