US 11,455,205 B2 · Systems and methods for pause-correct-replay workflow customization

Abstract

This disclosure pertains to systems and methods that allow users to specifically detect and correct errors within workflows quickly, efficiently, and with minimal repercussions. Once the error is corrected, users have the option to continue the workflow from the point of failure or from a point prior to the point of failure, while also having the option to bypass completed actions and/or other actions in a workflow. The improved communication technology comprises functionality that pauses relevant workflows or processes as soon as the error is detected and while it is corrected. The disclosure also improves communication technology between the networks and servers of separate parties relevant and/or dependent on successful execution of other workflows or processes; allowing for effective understanding, implementation, and engagement of business processes across organizational boundaries.

Dependent claims

A system for correcting workflow errors, comprising:

a computer system having a hardware processor and a physical memory using executable instructions that, as a result of being executed by the hardware processor, cause the computer system to:
detect, by the hardware processor, an erred action within a programmatic workflow process;
pause, by the hardware processor, the programmatic workflow process upon the detection of the erred action;
generate, by the hardware processor, a notification of the erred action;
display, by the hardware processor, the notification of the erred action;
generate, by the hardware processor, corrective options for the erred action, wherein the corrective options comprise at least one of, option to correct the programmatic workflow process from the point of the erred action, option to correct the programmatic workflow process from a point prior to the point of the erred action, and combinations thereof;
and
display, by the hardware processor, the corrective options.
