System and method for building and implementing automated workflows

A method for building automated workflow sequences associated with a first application of a document review platform performed by one or more processors, the method comprising:

• accessing, from a trigger event database, trigger event data;
• accessing, from an action database, action data;
• presenting a workflow editor user interface to create a workflow, wherein the workflow editor user interface includes an add function block user-selectable option;
• adding a function block to the workflow by:
• detecting a selection of the add function block user-selectable option;
• presenting, via the workflow editor user interface, a function block in response to detecting the selection of the add function block user-selectable option, the function block including at least one of (i) a user-selectable option to select a trigger event from a list of trigger events populated based on the trigger event data or (ii) a user-selectable option to select an action from a list of actions populated based on the action data;
• and
• presenting the function block including at least one of a selected trigger event or a selected action;
• detecting an indication that the workflow is ready for deployment, the workflow including one or more trigger events and one or more actions;
• translating the workflow into a logic-based representation of the workflow;
• and
• deploying the logic-based representation of the workflow, wherein deploying the logic based-representation of the workflow causes a data bus monitor to monitor a data bus for occurrences of the one or more trigger events.

A tangible, non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions associated with a first application of a document review platform for building automated workflow sequences associated with the document review platform that, when executed via one or more processors of a computer system, cause the computer system to:

• access, from a trigger event database, trigger event data;
• access, from an action database, action data;
• present a workflow editor user interface to create a workflow, wherein the workflow editor user interface includes an add function block user-selectable option;
• add a function block to the workflow by:
• detecting a selection of the add function block user-selectable option;
• presenting, via the workflow editor user interface, a function block in response to detecting the selection of the add function block user-selectable option, the function block including at least one of (i) a user-selectable option to select a trigger event from a list of trigger events populated based on the trigger event data or (ii) a user-selectable option to select an action from a list of actions populated based on the action data;
• and
• presenting the function block including at least one of a selected trigger event or a selected action;
• detect an indication that the workflow is ready for deployment, the workflow including one or more trigger events and one or more actions;
• translate the workflow into a logic-based representation of the workflow;
• and
• deploy the logic-based representation of the workflow, wherein deploying the logic-based representation of the workflow causes a data bus monitor to monitor a data bus for occurrences of the one or more trigger events.
