Method, medium, and system for integration of functionality of a fulfillment service provider into third-party application
Integrating a fulfillment service provider into a third-party application via an Application Programming Interface (API) is described. In an example, a computing device associated with a fulfillment service provider can determine, based at least in part on an indication of an interaction between a user and a third-party application, that the fulfillment service provider has been initialized. In one example, functionality associated with the fulfillment service provider can be accessible to the third-party application via an API. In at least one example, the computing device can generate, based at least in part on the interaction with the third-party application and while the fulfillment service provider is initialized, a recommendation of at least one of a service, a merchant, or an item associated with the fulfillment service provider. The computing device can cause the recommendation to be presented via at least one of the third-party application or the fulfillment service provider.
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
detecting that a fulfillment service provider has been initialized based, at least in part, on indication of an interaction between a user and a third-party application, the third party application being associated with a third-party service provider;
determining context information associated with the interaction, the context information indicating a first event of the third-party service provider;
determining event information pertaining to the first event;
predicting information pertaining to the first event based, at least in part, on the event information;
generating, using the predicted information, a recommendation of a second event pertaining to the fulfillment service provider;
generating, via the third party application, an interface of the fulfillment service provider using an application programming interface (API), wherein the interface enables a user to access fulfillment functionality from the fulfillment service provider using the third party application without leaving the third party application; and
causing the recommendation to be presented via the third-party application through the generated interface.
2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:
authenticating the third-party application.
3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:
determining an identity of the user associated with the interaction;
accessing user information based at least in part on the identity of the user; and
generating the recommendation based at least in part on the user information.
4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising causing the recommendation to be presented via a graphical user interface (GUI) presented via the third-party application, the GUI including at least one interactive component to allow the user to interact with the fulfillment service provider.
5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein determining the event information comprises obtaining at least a portion of the event information from the third-party application, in real-time, during the first event.
6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , the recommendation providing a recommended second time at which the second event is to be initiated.
7. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , the first event being a transportation event and the second event being a food order event.
8. A system comprising:
one or more processors;
computer-readable media storing instructions, that when executed, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
detecting that a fulfillment service provider has been initialized based, at least in part, on indication of an interaction between a user and a third-party application, the third party application being associated with a third-party service provider;
determining context information associated with the interaction, the context information indicating a first event of the third-party service provider;
determining event information pertaining to the first event;
predicting information pertaining to the first event based, at least in part, on the event information;
generating, using the predicted information, a recommendation of a second event pertaining to the fulfillment service provider;
generating, via the third party application, an interface of the fulfillment service provider using an application programming interface (API), wherein the interface enables a user to access fulfillment functionality from the fulfillment service provider using the third party application without leaving the third party application; and
causing the recommendation to be presented via the third-party application through the generated interface.
9. The system of claim 8 , the operations further comprising:
authenticating the third-party application.
10. The system of claim 8 , the operations further comprising:
determining an identity of at least one of the user or a service provider associated with the third-party application;
accessing user information based at least in part on the identity; and
generating the recommendation based at least in part on the user information.
11. The system of claim 8 , wherein determining the event information comprises obtaining at least a portion of the event information from the third-party application, in real-time, during the first event.
12. The system of claim 8 , the recommendation providing a recommended second time at which the second event is to be initiated.
13. The system of claim 8 , wherein the event information includes a location pertaining to the first event, and the operations further comprise determining a set of merchants based at least in part on the location, the second event pertaining to at least one merchant of the set of merchants.
14. The system of claim 8 , the operations further comprising determining the context information based at least in part on a machine-trained model.
15. The system of claim 8 , the operations further comprising causing the recommendation to be presented via a graphical user interface (GUI), the GUI including at least one interactive component to allow the user to interact with the fulfillment service provider.
16. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising computer program instructions configurable such that, when executed by one or more processors, the computer program instructions cause the one or more processors to:
detecting that a fulfillment service provider has been initialized based, at least in part, on indication of an interaction between a user and a third-party application, the third party application being associated with a third-party service provider;
determining context information associated with the interaction, the context information indicating a first event of the third-party service provider;
determining event information pertaining to the first event;
predicting information pertaining to the first event based, at least in part, on the event information;
generating, using the predicted information, a recommendation of a second event pertaining to the fulfillment service provider;
generating, via the third party application, an interface of the fulfillment service provider using an application programming interface (API), wherein the interface enables a user to access fulfillment functionality from the fulfillment service provider using the third party application without leaving the third party application; and
causing the recommendation to be presented via the third-party application through the generated interface.
17. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein detecting that the fulfillment service provider has been initialized comprises detecting a trigger word associated with the interaction.
18. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein the interaction is associated with the first event, wherein the recommendation identifies a set of merchants,
the computer program instructions further configurable to cause:
causing the recommendation to be presented via a graphical user interface (GUI), the GUI including at least one interactive component to allow the user to interact with the fulfillment service provider via the interface.
19. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 16 , the computer program instructions further configurable to cause:
determining the context information, based at least in part on a machine-trained model.
