Abstract
A system described herein may provide a mechanism for decoupling user interfaces from backend input processing systems by receiving user input that was provided to a user interface, identifying a label (e.g., a label that was defined as being associated with an interactive element via which the user input was received) associated with the user input, and identifying one or more actions to perform based on the received label.
