Overview of ContactManager plugins

Plugins are software modules that ContactManager uses to perform actions or calculate results. Strictly speaking, the term plugin refers to an interface, and the term plugin implementation is a class that implements a plugin interface. However, in practice, plugin implementation is often shortened to just plugin.

As described in the Integration Guide, you can write your own plugin implementations of Guidewire plugin interfaces in Gosu.

Additionally, there are plugin registry files, which you access in ContactManager studio. You use a registry to identify which plugin implementation ContactManager is to use.
