US 12,724,592 B2 · System and method for workflow application programming interfaces (APIS)

Abstract

A computing system includes a server. The server is communicatively coupled to a data repository and is configured to store a data in the data repository. The server is further configured to create, via a visual information flow creation tool, at least one information flow object, wherein the at least one information flow object comprises a flow, a sub-flow, an Action, or a combination thereof. The server is also configured to interface with the at least one information flow object via a front-end application programing interface (API), a back-end API, or a combination thereof. The server is additionally configured to execute the at least one information flow object via the front-end API, the back-end API, or a combination thereof, and to retrieve results obtained by executing the at least one information flow object via the front-end API, the back-end API, or the combination thereof.

Dependent claims

A computing system, comprising:

at least one processor;
and
memory storing processor-executable instructions thereon that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:
cause execution of a first information flow object entirely in a client computing device via a front-end application programming interface (API);
and
cause execution of a second information flow object entirely in the computing system via a back-end API, wherein the client computing device and the computing system operate in different execution environments, and wherein the first information flow object is configured to interface with the second information flow object via asynchronous execution by:
executing a first set of functions of the front-end API that call for an execution of the first information flow object;
executing a second set of functions of the back-end API that call for an execution of the second information flow object;
and
retrieving output of the execution of the first set of functions and the execution of the second set of functions as results of the asynchronous execution.

7 more elements

A non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing instructions executable by a processor of a computing system, wherein the instructions cause the processor to:

cause execution of a first information flow object, wherein the first information flow object is configured to execute entirely in a first computing device via a front-end application programming interface (API);
and
cause execution of a second information flow object, wherein the second information flow object is configured to execute entirely in a second computing device separate from the first computing device via a back-end API, and wherein the first information flow object is configured to interface with the second information flow object via asynchronous execution by:
executing a first set of functions of the front-end API that call for an execution of the first information flow object;
executing a second set of functions of the back-end API that call for an execution of the second information flow object;
and
retrieving output of the execution of the first set of functions and the execution of the second set of functions as results of the asynchronous execution.
