Systems and methods for integrating multiple third-party applications
Systems and methods are disclosed for integrating with third-party applications. An extension module operates with a user interface application on a client computing device. The extension module enables integration of functionality of an associated middleware system. The extension module extracts data from a user interface of a third-party application system based on a regular expression template. The extension module transmits data to the middleware system and receives information from the middleware system. The extension module can alter at least a portion of the user interface based on the information received from the middleware system.
1. A method of a browser extension module for integrating with a third-party application system, comprising:
identifying a webpage presented in a web browser hosting the browser extension module based on an identifier that identifies the webpage;
accessing one or more search parameters based on an association between the one or more search parameters and characteristics associated with the identifier that identifies the webpage, the one or more search parameters to indicate one or more fields of a plurality of fields of the webpage to parse to identify data within the webpage;
identifying, responsive to parsing the one or more fields based on the one or more search parameters, the data within the webpage;
generating a data region to be overlaid on the webpage, the data region showing the data; and
providing, to the web browser, an instruction causing the web browser to overlay the data region on the webpage.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more search parameters identify at least one of text data, image data, value data, or field data for use in identifying the data within the webpage.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more search parameters identify the one or more fields of the webpage based on information that corresponds to the webpage.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the data region comprises a control component configured to initiate an interaction with a middleware system for the browser extension module.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the data comprises an email address.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the identifier of the webpage is a uniform resource locator (URL).
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the data region comprises a control component configured to allow for manual data entry.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the data region comprises a control component configured to generate an email.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the data is Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) data.
10. An apparatus comprising:
one or more processors; and
memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, configure the apparatus to operate a browser extension module to:
identify a webpage presented in a web browser hosting the browser extension module based on an identifier that identifies the webpage;
access one or more search parameters based on an association between the one or more search parameters and characteristics associated with the identifier that identifies the webpage, the one or more search parameters to indicate one or more fields of a plurality of fields of the webpage to parse to identify data within the webpage;
identify, responsive to parsing the one or more fields based on the one or more search parameters, the data within the webpage;
generate a data region to be overlaid on the webpage, the data region showing the data; and
provide, to the web browser, an instruction causing the web browser to overlay the data region on the webpage.
11. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the one or more search parameters identify at least one of text data, image data, value data, or field data for use in identifying the data within the webpage.
12. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the one or more search parameters identify the one or more fields of the webpage based on information that corresponds to the webpage.
13. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the data region comprises a control component configured to initiate an interaction with a middleware system for the browser extension module.
14. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the data comprises an email address.
15. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the identifier of the webpage is a uniform resource locator (URL).
16. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the data region comprises a control component configured to allow for manual data entry.
17. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the data region comprises a control component configured to generate an email.
18. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to operate a browser extension module to:
identify a webpage presented in a web browser hosting the browser extension module based on an identifier that identifies the webpage;
access one or more search parameters based on an association between the one or more search parameters and characteristics associated with the identifier that identifies the webpage, the one or more search parameters to indicate one or more fields of a plurality of fields of the webpage to parse to identify data within the webpage;
identify, responsive to parsing the one or more fields based on the one or more search parameters, the data within the webpage;
generate a data region to be overlaid on the webpage, the data region showing the data; and
provide, to the web browser, an instruction causing the web browser to overlay the data region on the webpage.
19. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 18 , wherein the one or more search parameters identify at least one of text data, image data, value data, or field data for use in identifying the data within the webpage.
20. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 18 , wherein the one or more search parameters identify the one or more fields of the webpage based on information that corresponds to the webpage.
