Patent ID: 10394629

Abstract:
Techniques for managing a plug-in application recipe (“PIAR”) are disclosed. A mapping between (a) a user-selected field, selected via a PIAR creation interface, and (b) a third-party application field, exposed by an application programming interface (“API”) of a third-party application, is stored. The third-party application field is associated with a trigger or action of a PIAR. Managing the PIAR in an active state involves periodically receiving and checking data from the third-party application field against a PIAR condition. During or after managing the PIAR in the active state, information is stored to update the mapping to a different mapping. The different mapping maps the user-selected field to a different third-party application field. Without modifying the PIAR, managing the PIAR in the active state then involves periodically receiving and checking data from the different third-party application field against the PIAR condition.
