Late Connection Binding for Bots

Abstract

Technology for implementing a system for customizing software recipes or applets is described. In some implementations, a method, implemented using a computing device, may include receiving request to execute a software recipe from a first software application operated by a first user and determining whether the software recipe includes a connection placeholder for a recipe connection to a second software application. The method may then determine whether a first connection to the second software application exists for the first user, retrieve first connection details of the first connection to the second software application from a recipe connection data store, and execute the software recipe using the first connection details in place of the connection placeholder for the recipe connection to the second software application. In some implementations, interaction with and execution of the software recipes is performed using bots in a chat environment.
