CONFIGURABLE TRIGGER-BASED EVENT PROCESSING
Aspects of the subject technology include receiving a selection of a trigger event, a set of workflows associated with the trigger event, wherein each workflow is assigned a respective priority attribute, and a set of custom expressions, wherein each custom expression corresponds to a respective workflow and specifies one or more conditions associated with the trigger event. Aspects also include receiving an occurrence of the trigger event and, in response to a determination that the trigger event matches a custom expression for at least one workflow, performing a workflow of the set of workflows having a greatest priority and for which the associated respective custom expression is satisfied, wherein performing a workflow includes performing a set of recovery actions. Aspects also include, in response to a determination that the trigger event does not match any of the respective sets of custom expressions, performing a default workflow.
1 . A method comprising:
receiving, at a server, a selection of:
a trigger event;
a set of workflows associated with the trigger event, wherein each workflow of the set of workflows is assigned a respective priority attribute indicating a respective priority of the workflow and a set of associated recovery actions; and
a set of custom expressions, wherein each custom expression of the set of custom expressions corresponds to a respective workflow of the set of workflows and specifies one or more conditions associated with the trigger event;
receiving an occurrence of the trigger event;
in response to a determination that the trigger event matches a custom expression for at least one workflow, performing a workflow of the set of workflows having a greatest priority and for which the associated respective custom expression is satisfied, wherein performing a workflow of the set of workflows includes performing a set of recovery actions associated with the workflow; and
in response to a determination that the trigger event does not match any of the respective sets of custom expressions, performing a default workflow, wherein performing the default workflow includes performing one or more recovery actions associated with the default workflow.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein performing the set of recovery actions associated with the workflow comprises executing at least one of the one or more recovery actions based on a predetermined delay.
3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein performing the set of recovery actions associated with the workflow includes performing the set of recovery actions according to a respective priority of at least two recovery actions of the set of recovery actions.
4 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
evaluating the set of workflows in an order according to the respective priorities of each workflow until a workflow is identified to be executed.
5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the trigger event is based on an event occurring on a future date.
6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein performing the set of recovery actions associated with the workflow includes performing at least one recovery action of another workflow of the set of workflows.
7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein at least one recovery action is a service performed by a third party.
8 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
causing display of a user interface, by a server, wherein the user interface includes one or more configurable user interface elements for a customizable automation including a trigger event, a custom expression, a workflow, or a combination thereof.
9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein a workflow utilizes third party metadata to perform at least one recovery action.
10 . An electronic device comprising:
a memory; and
a processor configured to:
receive, at the electronic device, a selection of:
a trigger event;
a set of workflows associated with the trigger event, wherein each workflow of the set of workflows is assigned a respective priority attribute indicating a respective priority of the workflow and a set of associated recovery actions; and
a set of custom expressions, wherein each custom expression of the set of custom expressions corresponds to a respective workflow of the set of workflows and specifies one or more conditions associated with the trigger event;
receive an occurrence of the trigger event;
in response to a determination that the trigger event matches a custom expression for at least one workflow, perform a workflow of the set of workflows having a greatest priority and for which the associated respective custom expression is satisfied, wherein performing a workflow of the set of workflows includes performing a set of recovery actions associated with the workflow; and
in response to a determination that the trigger event does not match any of the respective sets of custom expressions, perform a default workflow, wherein performing the default workflow includes performing one or more recovery actions associated with the default workflow.
11 . The electronic device of claim 10 , wherein performing the set of recovery actions associated with the workflow comprises executing at least one of the one or more recovery actions based on a predetermined delay.
12 . The electronic device of claim 10 , wherein performing the set of recovery actions associated with the workflow includes performing the set of recovery actions according to a respective priority of at least two recovery actions of the set of recovery actions.
13 . The electronic device of claim 10 , the processor is further configured to:
evaluate the set of workflows in an order according to the respective priorities of each workflow until a workflow is identified to be executed.
14 . The electronic device of claim 10 , wherein the trigger event is based on an event occurring on a future date.
15 . The electronic device of claim 10 , wherein performing the set of recovery actions associated with the workflow includes performing at least one recovery action of another workflow of the set of workflows.
16 . The electronic device of claim 10 , wherein at least one recovery action is a service performed by a third party.
17 . The electronic device of claim 10 , the processor is further configured to:
cause display of a user interface, by a server, wherein the user interface includes one or more configurable user interface elements for a customizable automation including a trigger event, a custom expression, a workflow, or a combination thereof.
18 . The electronic device of claim 10 , wherein a workflow utilizes third party metadata to perform at least one recovery action.
19 . 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, at a server, a selection of:
a trigger event;
a set of workflows associated with the trigger event, wherein each workflow of the set of workflows is assigned a respective priority attribute indicating a respective priority of the workflow and a set of associated recovery actions; and
a set of custom expressions, wherein each custom expression of the set of custom expressions corresponds to a respective workflow of the set of workflows and specifies one or more conditions associated with the trigger event;
receiving an occurrence of the trigger event;
in response to a determination that the trigger event matches a custom expression for at least one workflow, performing a workflow of the set of workflows having a greatest priority and for which the associated respective custom expression is satisfied, wherein performing a workflow of the set of workflows includes performing a set of recovery actions associated with the workflow; and
in response to a determination that the trigger event does not match any of the respective sets of custom expressions, performing a default workflow, wherein performing the default workflow includes performing one or more recovery actions associated with the default workflow.
20 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 19 , wherein performing the set of recovery actions associated with the workflow comprises executing at least one of the one or more recovery actions based on a predetermined delay.
