Patent ID: 10671410

Abstract:
Techniques for generating plug-in application recipe (PIAR) extensions are disclosed. A PIAR management application discovers a particular data type within one or more data values for a particular field of a plug-in application, where the particular data type is (a) different from a data type of the particular field as reported by the plug-in application and (b) narrower than the data type of the particular field while complying with the data type of the particular field. The PIAR management application identifies one or more mappings between (a) the particular data type and (b) one or more data types for fields accepted by actions of plug-in applications. The PIAR management application presents a user interface including one or more candidate PIAR extensions based on the mapping(s). Based on a user selection of a candidate PAIR extension, the PIAR management application executes a PIAR that includes the selected PIAR extension.
