Overview

Real-time push notifications not only grab the attention of the users but also gives an urgent call-to-action, which may trigger instant action from the user, like reacting on System e-mail, Reacting on Approval request, etc

User Problem

Today, it is possible to send and receive Push Notifications only at Matrix42 Mobile Applications. However, it is much comfortable to receive them in Browser as well (UUX)

In addition, having system notification shown the only Mailbox, sometimes produce delays with reaction

Target Group

End Users

MVP

The User is able to configure receiving System Emails as Push Notifications in addition to Emails, at User Profile

When the option selected, User will be notified with Standard Browser Push Notification about new message, and will be able to review details when clicking on it

also, Push Notifications that today can be sent by Workflows using Push Notification activity will be shown the same way

User Problem

Engine activations conflict with each other when execution takes a lot of time, and it is not possible to configure execution in a sequence

Target Group

Administrators

It is possible to configure a dependency between Engines configured within a single Engine Activation object, in order to start some engines only after the dependent engine finished processing.

Only the Engines which provide a mechanism of detecting the "done" event are allowed for setting the dependency.

Engines Example of "Done" event:

• GDIE Import - finishing the GDIE sequence

• Generic Connector - finishing the Import Workflow

• Start Workflow - finishing the initiated Workflow.

Each Engine has to implement a special Interface in code (e.g. IEngineCallback) which signals the Engine supports the dependency execution configuration. Otherwise (interface not implemented) the Engine cannot be defined in sequence. The Engine Preview page provides information about the supporting execution sequences.

All the default Engines shipped in DWP support the sequence definitions.

Mockup: Adding a new Engine to Activation

Validations:

1. Show in dropdown only Engines already defined in the Engine Activations

2. Avoid the loops

Mockup: List of Engines in Activation

By default sorted in execution order.

Usecases

Usecase 1 - Engine Activation for series of Engines

1. Tim creates a new Engine Activation

2. He adds several Engines to it

3. Tim sets to dependencies between engines

Usecase 2 - Running Engines from Engine Activation

1. the system starts in parallels all the Engine which does not have the dependencies

2. The system waits until the engine complete and starts dependent engines if they configured

Usecase 3 - Running Engine Activation when the previous one is in progress

1. The system starts Engine activation with a set of Engines that take a lot of time

2. The second run of the same Engine activation is configured to start in the time while the previous run was not completed yet.

3. The System will wait until the previous run will complete before starting a new one

Out of Scope

All Engines that are not part of DWP needs to be updated to support running in sequence

Overview

Import Definition supports processing files from the direct link to Cloud Data Providers (Google Drive, One Drive, Dropbox, etc), is able to authenticate when the file is secured. In the end, it is possible to execute such Import Definition on a regular base using Engine Activations, and in case of the file content will be changed - changes will apply

User Problem:

Today with Import Definition users are able to import files when they are stored locally or in the network share. However, it is not possible to observe non-local files what is especially important in the case of Cloud Offering (without extra efforts), especially needed for regular imports

Target Group

Services, Partners, Customers

Value Proposition

To increase Integration possibilities for DWP low code platform

MVP

It is possible to configure Import Definition for regular import at least from several cloud providers like One Drive, DropBox, and GDrive

"Import Definition" Configuration

The Administrator on the "Import Definition" authoring is able to define "Cloud Drive" as a Source for import. In that case, the System requires to define the active "Service Connection" object which provides the connectivity for the Target Cloud Drive Provider, and the "File Path"

On proceeding to the next Wizard Page the System automatically validates provided parameters and show a meaningful error in case the connection is not setup of the referenced file is missing:
"The connection to the Cloud Drive {0} failed due to the following reason: {error message}"
"The file {0} cannot be found on the {1} Cloud Drive"

Use Cases

Use Case - Import publically available CSV, XLS, XLSX files from the web

1. Tim Tober create a new Import Definition that imports Services

2. He selects the type of file as XLSX and chose an option that file will be taken from the web

3. He provides a public link from DropBox to the xlsx file

4. On the next step, he is able to preview the XLXS and do mapping of columns to Service CI

5. After saving, he triggers the import and services appears in the system

Use Case - Import a secured CSV, XLS, XLSX files from the web

1. Tim Tober create a new Import Definition that imports Services

2. He selects the type of file as XLSX and chose an option that file will be taken from the web

3. He provides a link from OneDrive to the xlsx file what requires Authentication

4. After successful authentication, he proceeds ot the next step, where he is able to preview the XLXS and do mapping of columns to Service CI

5. After saving it, Tim triggers the import and services appears in the system

Use Case - Import a secured XLSX files from the Box.com on a regular basis

1. Tim Tober configures Import Definition to import secured xlsx file

2. He created an Engine Activation that runs this Import Definition daily

3. File get's imported as configured

Overview

Real-time push notifications not only grab the attention of the users but also gives an urgent call-to-action, which may trigger instant action from the user. It is possible to send Push Notification to users from Business Processes instead of Emails using Send Push Notification Activity

User Problem

Today, it is possible to send and receive Push Notifications only at Matrix42 Mobile Applications. However, it is much comfortable to receive them in Browser as well (UUX)

Target Group

Services, Partners, Administrators

MVP

The User is able to configure receiving Events as Push Notifications, at User Profile

When the option selected, User will be notified with Standard Browser Push Notification about new message, and will be able to review details when clicking on it

Push Notifications from the Workflow can be configured using Push Notification activity

That has been used in the past

Overview

Service connections enable you to connect to external and remote services to execute tasks in a job. For example, you may need to connect to your Google Drive to import Tickets that are collected with some google form, or use REST API in the Workflow Studio Activity like HTTPSend.

User Problem:

Today, it is way too complex to configure and maintain connections to 3d parties. Also, there is no way to make a request, without knowing credential, that the user is not allowed to see

Target Group

Services, Partners, Customers

Value Proposition

To increase Integration possibilities for DWP low code platform

MVP

It is possible to configure Service Connection at least from several cloud providers like One Drive, DropBox, and GDrive that can be used in Import Definitions and Workflows

A new System Configuration Item "Service Connection" keeps and maintains the information needed to set up the connectivity with the various external Services. In the final implementation, Service connections support different Authentication types, like OAuth, Basic Auth, API Token.
*In MVP, only OAuth is supported

Predefined Service Configurations

For an easy configuration of the Service Connection the System out-of-the-box provides the predefined configurations to the most popular Identity Providers:

• Microsoft One Drive

• Microsoft Sharepoint

• Google Drive

• Dropbox

* The custom configuration can be added

OAuth Flow

In MVP Service Connection support only OAUTH authentication Type. On Service Connection creation the System redirects the request to the target OAuth provide and on response persists the encrypted "Access Token" and "Refresh Token" in the database

Automatically Update OAuth Access Token

The System automatically tracks the Service Connection Token Expiration and refresh the token over the OAuth refresh Token Mechanism

HTML Client API

The System provides the API for an easy way of using the Service Connection on preparing the Request

Matrix42.Http.Client.SetAuthentication(HttpRequest, Guid serviceConnectionId)

Service Connection Public API

The System provides a Public REST method for the creation of the Service Connection remotely

Use Service Connection in HttpRequest Workflow Activity

Introduce property "Service Connection" in Workflow activity HttpRequest, to have a possibility easily authenticate the request
