  • Publication number: 20240119373
    Abstract: The present disclosure is related to computing devices, systems, and methods for a new task-engine system that connects to a variety of task-interaction providers, enabling a user to use any one of multiple task-interaction providers to create and complete tasks within a workflow. That is, the connection to a variety of task-interaction providers allows a user to interact with the workflow through any of the task-interaction providers and create and/or complete any number of tasks in the workflow. The task-engine system may also update the creation and/or completion of a workflow task in all other task-interaction providers, such that all users may be aware of, or notified of, the current state of the workflow through any of the task-interaction providers.

  • Patent number: 11947997
    Abstract: Disclosed here are systems and methods that allow users, upon detecting errors within a running workflow, to either 1) pause the workflow and directly correct its design before resuming the workflow, or 2) pause the workflow, correct the erred action within the workflow, resume running the workflow, and afterwards apply the corrections to the design of the workflow. The disclosure comprises functionality that pauses a single workflow and other relevant workflows as soon as the error is detected and while it is corrected. The disclosed systems and methods improve communication technology between the networks and servers of separate parties relevant and/or dependent on successful execution of other workflows.

  • Publication number: 20240086813
    Abstract: Disclosed here are systems and methods that allow users to create and customize workflow tolerances. The designed tolerances define and set guidelines, such as parameters, limitations, and tolerances, for the expected values of a workflow's input and output actions. The disclosed systems and methods, upon identifying values that fall out of determined guidelines, may: notify users of such values, trigger processes that pause or stop the workflow, and require user approval before resuming the paused/stopped workflow. Embodiments may comprise machine learning components that identify incorrect/irregular values without prior user designation. Such systems and methods improve communication technology between the networks and servers of separate parties relevant and/or dependent on successful execution of other workflows and processes; allowing for effective understanding, implementation, and engagement of workflows and processes across organizational boundaries.

  • Patent number: 11914466
    Abstract: This disclosure pertains to systems and methods that allow users to specifically detect and correct errors within workflows quickly, efficiently, and with minimal repercussions. Once the error is corrected, users have the option to continue the workflow from the point of failure or from a point prior to the point of failure, while also having the option to bypass completed actions and/or other actions in a workflow. The improved communication technology comprises functionality that pauses relevant workflows or processes as soon as the error is detected and while it is corrected. The disclosure also improves communication technology between the networks and servers of separate parties relevant and/or dependent on successful execution of other workflows or processes; allowing for effective understanding, implementation, and engagement of business processes across organizational boundaries.

  • Publication number: 20230267397
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for a synergetic, multi-interface workflow designer: a visual tool that enables the design, building, and use of high-level processes and standard-configuration workflows among multiple users with varying technical capabilities on multiple systems. For example, it enables a line of business user to design and create a high-level process on a first designer interface. The process and its data are received by a second designer interface, which translates the process and data into a standard-configuration workflow. A workflow designer may access the second designer interface to create, refine, and finalize the standard-configuration workflow based on the data from the first designer interface.

  • Patent number: 11663543
    Abstract: Workflow sharing system and method are disclosed that allow a workflow server to provide a shared workflow, wherein the shared workflow generates at least one manifest, wherein the at least one manifest comprises a third-party interaction field, a credentials field, an input parameter field, and an output parameter field, wherein the workflow server receives a request for access to the shared workflow and transmits the at least one manifest of the shared workflow in response to the request for access to the shared workflow, wherein the at least one manifest comprises an acceptance requirement of the third-party interaction field, the credentials field, the input parameter field, and the output parameter field, wherein the workflow server receive consents of the acceptance requirement of the at least one manifest; and allows access to the shared workflow in response to the received consent of the acceptance requirement of the at least one manifest.
