Integration template generation

Abstract:

Disclosed embodiments provide improvements in integration template generation. In embodiments, existing customer integration flows already created by users are analyzed using computer-implemented methods, and from these customer integration flows, templates are created that encapsulate the general patterns that are seen in existing customer integration flows. The customer integration flows are anonymized by removing proprietary and/or identifying data. The result is customer integration templates based on actual real-world usage, which can more accurately resemble the needs of customers as compared to traditional templates that are authored by someone envisioning how he thinks the applications will be linked together, but not based on how they actually are used. Disclosed embodiments can generate integration templates based on general patterns encountered by multiple users that serve as a good starting point for any user that wants to do similar integrations.
