Application: System and methods for configuring event-based automation in cloud-based collaboration platforms (Patent ID: US20240036695A1)
The patent filed by Box Inc. describes scalable architectures, systems, and services for generating jobs by applying user-specified rules to events in an action log framework stream within collaboration environments. This allows for the automation of operations based on metadata events in a cloud-based environment, where actions performed by users are captured and translated into jobs through customizable rules. The method involves receiving requests to automate operations, selecting metadata events related to work items in specific workspaces, identifying event definitions and criteria, and executing actions based on the occurrence of metadata events and matching criteria.
The system described in the patent includes a processor and memory storing instructions for configuring metadata event-based automation in a collaborative cloud-based environment. This system allows for the selection and identification of metadata events, defining criteria and actions based on these events, and executing actions in response to the occurrence of metadata events. Additionally, the system provides features such as tracking the execution of actions, providing an administrator console interface, and enabling the automation of policies or workflows. The patent also covers a non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing instructions for configuring metadata event-based automation, including the selection of events, identification of criteria, execution of actions, tracking of actions, and providing an administrator console interface for user interaction.
