Google patents no-code apps that run automatically when external data changes
This filing describes a system that lets users build simple applications without writing code. The app watches a specific data source and automatically performs a pre-set action when that data changes, then saves the result and notifies the user.
In the filing’s own words
A method for no-code data driven workflows using external data triggers includes generating a no-code application that includes a trigger condition associated with a first data source and an action response defining an action in response to the trigger condition being satisfied. The method includes receiving a deployment request requesting deployment of the no-code application within an application environment. After receiving the deployment request, the method includes receiving an indication indicating that the trigger condition is satisfied based on trigger data stored at the first data source. The indication is associated with a user of the no-code application. Based on receiving the indication, the method includes executing the action response. After executing the action response, the method includes receiving action response data. The method also includes storing the action response data at a second data source and notifying the user using the action response data.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. A method comprising: obtaining, by data processing hardware, a no-code application, the no-code application comprising: a trigger condition associated with a first data source, the trigger condition satisfied by modifying data within the first data source; and an action response indicating a first action to perform in response to the trigger condition being satisfied; receiving, by the data processing hardware, a deployment request requesting deployment of the no-code application within an application environment; after receiving the deployment request, receiving, by the data processing hardware, an indication that the trigger condition is satisfied; based on receiving the indication, executing, by the data processing hardware, the first action; after executing the first action, obtaining, by the data processing hardware, action response data; storing, by the data processing hardware, the action response data at a second data source; and performing, by the data processing hardware and using the action response data, a second action.
