钉钉宜搭

What DingTalk Yida is

钉钉宜搭 (DingTalk Yida, "Yida" in pinyin) is a no-code and low-code application builder that sits inside the DingTalk workplace platform. Its pages are in Chinese and the copyright line names DingTalk's China company, 钉钉（中国）信息技术有限公司, and its affiliates. The audience runs from small teams building a first form-and-approval app to mid-size and large organizations building complex applications, plus enterprises that want a dedicated deployment. The headline reads "业务创新，一搭就行" (business innovation, just build it), pitched at the AI era of "业务数字化" (digitizing the business). Everything below is translated from the Chinese site.

What you build and how

The product capabilities are listed as five blocks: forms, processes, reports, integration automation and AI. The form builder offers "丰富的字段类型，强大的数据联动" (rich field types, strong data linkage), including associated forms, formula calculation and cross-app references. The page builder is a visual low-code designer. For processes, the site describes "灵活的流程设计引擎，丰富的个性化审批设置" (a flexible process design engine with rich, personalized approval settings), approvals that can be embedded into an orchestrated business flow, and an approval experience built around DingTalk. This is the business process automation side, and the section is headed 企业审批流程线上化 (moving enterprise approval processes online).

Data and reporting come with their own tools. The site lists data charts, a data processing layer, "可视化的DataV数字大屏" (visual DataV digital big screens) and a one-stop data processing and analysis factory. Integration automation offers multiple triggers and "15+执行动作" (15+ actions), reaching business flows inside and outside the company and DingTalk's own official capabilities such as work notifications, to-dos, attendance and suites. A "钉融合" (DingTalk fusion) block names a connector factory and DingTalk's data asset platform, and says apps can connect upstream and downstream organizations and an intelligent finance suite, producing what the site calls branded DingTalk "cool apps".

AI shows up in 2 ways. For using apps, the site says it supports AI data analysis, proactive broadcasting and smart form filling. For building apps, it lists smart forms, smart formulas and smart portals. The site also says there are 10万 AI agents on the platform (100,000), a company-reported count.

Templates are a large part of the offer. The page lists quick solutions such as warehouse, customer, task, business ledger and smart weekly report apps, then a set of HR and admin templates: an HR management system (the page says it is for small and mid-size enterprises, with data flowing between modules and process-driven design), KPI performance review with self-assessment, approval and scoring, shift scheduling with a calendar home page, conflict detection and automatic scheduling, attendance, training management, a lucky-draw helper for annual meetings and events, and an employee award selection tool. Every plan is said to include "400+应用模板" (400+ application templates).

The portal side targets what employees see. The site describes an AI-driven digital workspace with a dedicated portal, a to-do center, a process center, an app center and a permission center. Permissions can be set by member and by role with authorization detail, and by page and by operation. Approvals can be done quickly or in batches, and a workspace gets its own AI assistant. For companies with existing systems, a "钉钉伴侣" (DingTalk companion) lets those systems send messages, schedule items and to-dos in one click and fuses business data with AI.

On the end-user side, the finished apps live in DingTalk: a worker sees tasks, approvals and process entries in the portal, grouped by status and project, with the most frequent processes one step away and important projects pinned to the top. Managers see charts and large-screen dashboards. Messages from an app arrive as DingTalk message cards, which the site lists among the features of every edition.

The evidence from the site

Pricing is published, in yuan. The 免费版 (free edition) costs ¥0 and allows 10 users. The 轻享版 (light edition) starts at ¥2988 per year, is described as zero-code drag-and-drop building for small organizations, includes a portal that can broadcast, and allows a total of 80万 (800,000) records. The 专业版 (professional edition) starts at ¥5988 per year for mid-size and large organizations building complex applications. It includes everything in the light edition plus frontend low-code extension, OpenAPI and page data source access, the connector, data and cool-app factories, interconnection among multiple apps including third-party ones, and a total of 300万 (3,000,000) records.

The 专属版 (dedicated edition) has no listed price and goes through business consultation. It includes everything in the professional edition and adds high-complexity logic, high data volume, high concurrency and high security, a first-level domain with your own branding, managed operations and easier auditing, upstream and downstream connection, a dedicated companion and dedicated after-sales service. There are also joint-solution entries for a DingTalk professional edition and a DingTalk dedicated edition. All editions include form filling, process collaboration, visual charts, permission management, integration automation, message cards, 400+ templates and AI.

The home page publishes company-reported figures: 10万 AI agents (100,000), 300万 enterprises served (3 million), 1000万 Yida apps (10 million) and 40亿 data submissions (4 billion). It names three customers in testimonials. Zhejiang University's DingTalk app reports 9万+ daily active users (90,000+) and 12万+ daily visits to its workbench (120,000+), in a quote from the university's IT center. An Anhui poultry company chairman talks about digitizing chicken farming. A Foshan furniture company general manager says digital management does not depend on company size and mentions a small factory of 20-odd people. The site also lists a talent program with courses, hands-on incubation, a low-code competition and an official Alibaba certification. The coaching track pairs a project with a one-on-one coach until it goes live. For help, the site links a help center, community, developer center and changelog, plus presales consultation and technical support contacts, and every edition, the free one included, offers a free consultation.

Who it suits and who it does not

Yida suits Chinese-language teams that already run on DingTalk and want to build approvals, forms, HR tools and reports for themselves. A 10-person team can start on the free edition, and a department with a bigger data set can move to a yearly tier. Larger organizations with strict security and branding needs can ask about the dedicated edition.

It is less natural for teams that do not use DingTalk, because the identity, approvals, notifications and portal all point back to it. The site is in Chinese, so non-Chinese-speaking teams should expect to use the product and its documentation in that language.
