Reactors Overview
Reactors are Newclear's modular plugin system. They're optional, installable feature packages that extend Newclear's core capabilities without cluttering the interface for businesses that don't need them.
Think of Reactors as apps for Newclear — each one adds a specific, self-contained capability.
