Set Up Icon Requests

Icon requests let users ask you for icons of apps your pack doesn’t cover yet. Blueprint collects the app info and icons and sends them to you.

All request settings live in app/src/main/res/values/blueprint_setup.xml.

Step 1: Choose how you receive requests

You can receive requests in two ways:

• By email (default). Blueprint opens the user’s email app with a zip file attached, addressed to your email.
• Through Pacific Manager, a request manager. Requests are uploaded there, and you see them all in one place instead of in your inbox.

Either way, set your email first (see Change Blueprint Settings). Requests don’t work without it.

To use Pacific Manager, create an account there, get your API key, and paste it:

<string name="request_manager_backend_api_key" translatable="false">your-api-key</string>
<string name="request_manager_base_url" translatable="false">https://pacificmanager.app/</string>

Keep request_manager_base_url as it is. If the API key is empty, Blueprint sends requests by email.

Step 2: Set limits (optional)

You can limit how many apps users can request, and how often:

<integer name="max_apps_to_request">-1</integer>
<integer name="time_limit_in_minutes">0</integer>

Setting	Value	Result
max_apps_to_request	-1 (default)	No limit
	0	Requests are turned off
	Any other number	Users can request up to that many apps at a time
time_limit_in_minutes	0 or less (default)	No waiting between requests
	Any other number	Users have to wait that many minutes between requests

Some useful time limits:

Minutes	Means
60	One request per hour
1440	One request per day
10080	One request per week
40320	One request every four weeks

Step 3: Set the request title

request_title is the subject of request emails, so you can find them easily in your inbox:

<string name="request_title">My Icon Pack Request</string>
