Customizable state-machine-based event processing

An electronic device comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• a processor configured to:
• receive a request to generate an event-based workflow associated with a first event type, wherein the event-based workflow comprises a state machine that includes at least a state and an associated transition, the transition comprising a triggering condition and a transition action;
• generate and store the event-based workflow comprising the state machine based at least in part on the request;
• receive an event including a second event type and an event attribute;
• in response to determining that the second event type of the event corresponds to the first event type of the event-based workflow, and when a current state of the event-based workflow corresponds to the state, determine whether the event attribute satisfies the triggering condition of the transition associated with the state;
• and
• in response to determining that the event attribute satisfies the triggering condition of the transition associated with the state, perform the transition action of the transition and update the current state of the event-based workflow based at least in part on the performed transition action.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising:

• computer-readable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform one or more operations comprising:
• receiving a request to generate an event-based workflow associated with a first event type, wherein the event-based workflow comprises a state machine that includes at least a state and an associated transition, the transition comprising a triggering condition and a transition action;
• generating and storing the event-based workflow comprising the state machine based at least in part on the request;
• receiving an event including a second event type and an event attribute;
• in response to determining that the second event type of the event corresponds to the first event type of the event-based workflow, and when a current state of the event-based workflow corresponds to the state, determining whether the event attribute satisfies the triggering condition of the transition associated with the state;
• and
• in response to determining that the event attribute satisfies the triggering condition of the transition associated with the state, performing the transition action of the transition and updating the current state of the event-based workflow based at least in part on the performed transition action.
