A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11966774B2) outlines a method performed by computers to define and execute workflows. The method involves providing an interface with selectable elements for adding operations and monitoring tasks to the workflow. Users can define criteria based on events or conditions to selectively perform operations. The workflow can include monitoring the status of a computer system, determining if specific events or conditions have occurred, and executing operations accordingly. The interface can be graphical, API-based, or voice-controlled, allowing for user-friendly workflow creation.

The patent also describes additional features such as user interaction to change the sequence of operations, programming code integration, recording user-initiated actions, and incorporating third-party APIs or container-related operations into the workflow. The method allows for flexibility in defining workflows, including specifying conditions based on output generated by monitoring tasks, user-specified thresholds, or status data obtained during execution. The system described in the patent includes computers and computer-readable media storing instructions for defining and executing workflows. Overall, the patent details a comprehensive method for creating and managing workflows efficiently using a computer interface, catering to various user needs and preferences.
