What is an App?

Listeners are the core of the Flatfile Platform. All of your configurations, from data transformations, to custom styling, to data export are done in a Listener. They hold the logic backing your Flatfile Spaces, defining the functionality of your implementation.

Fundamentally, a Listener is a function that listens for Events and takes action when they occur. This means your configurations are implemented in response to events. To understand how to configure a Listener, it’s important to understand the anatomy of an Event.
