Integration is the bedrock of modern application development. In today's interconnected world, systems rarely exist in isolation. They need to exchange data, trigger actions, and coordinate processes seamlessly. This is where the power of function.do comes into play, acting as the essential connective tissue for integrating diverse systems within the .do platform.
While traditional integration methods often rely on complex APIs or middleware, function.do offers a different paradigm. It focuses on encapsulating discrete, atomic units of business logic. This isn't just about abstracting complexity; it's about creating reusable building blocks that perform specific, well-defined actions necessary for integration.
Think of it like this: instead of a single, monolithic integration layer, function.do allows you to define granular steps in your integration process. Want to fetch data from a CRM? There's a function.do for that. Need to update a record in an accounting system? Another function.do. This modular approach makes your integrations more manageable, maintainable, and testable.
Let's explore how function.do can be applied to common integration challenges:
function.do brings several key advantages to the integration landscape:
Here's a simple example of a function.do that could be part of an integration workflow, designed to create a service (which could represent an order, a customer record, etc.):
This function.do takes structured input and performs a specific action. Within the // Logic... section, you would implement the actual integration logic, such as calling an external API or interacting with a database.
function.do provides a powerful and flexible foundation for building robust and scalable integrations. By encapsulating atomic business logic, it simplifies the development, maintenance, and orchestration of processes that connect disparate systems. As you build agentic workflows on the .do platform, consider function.do as your go-to tool for creating the essential connective tissue that brings your systems together. Discover the power of atomic logic and unlock seamless integration with function.do.
export const createService = agent(async (input: { name: string, description?: string }) => {
// Logic to create a new service (e.g., calling an external API,
// writing to a database, sending an email)
const newService = {
id: generateId(), // Placeholder for actual ID generation
name: input.name,
description: input.description || '',
createdAt: new Date()
};
console.log(`Created service: ${newService.name}`);
// Potentially interact with another system here based on the new service
// For example, fire an event or call another function.do
return newService;
});
