In the embodiment of the present application, before executing S301, a target flow may be presented in the data format modification interface, where the target flow includes a plurality of applications and association relationships between the plurality of applications. When a user clicks one application of the plurality of applications, determining to trigger a data format change operation for the target application with the clicked application as the target application. Accordingly, the application executed before the target application is executed in the association relationship can be used as the associated application associated with the target application. It should be noted that, the associated application may also be referred to as an upstream application herein.

In the embodiment of the present application, only the clicking operation is used for illustration, and triggering modes such as double clicking, long pressing, etc. may be used, but the present application is not limited thereto, and is not repeated here.

For example, referring to fig. 4, a schematic diagram of a target flow provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown, where the flow name of the target flow is version 4, and in the target flow, the target flow includes 3 applications: the method comprises the steps of a Webhook, a mail application and a document application, wherein the Webhook is used for receiving data, the mail application is used for sending mails, the document application is used for writing data, an application account of the mail application is a mail account A, an application account of the document application is a document account B, and the target flow is characterized in that: and executing a triggering event after the Webhook receives the data, wherein the triggering event is that the mail application sends a mail, and writing the data into the document application after the mail application sends the mail, wherein the upstream application of the mail application is Webhook, and the upstream application of the document application is Webhook and the mail application.

In the "configuration" tab, an initial data format applied by the document is included, where the initial data format includes 3 information fields to be processed, and the 3 information fields to be processed include: a "post" field, a "name" field, and a "contact" field. In the configuration tab, the post field, the name field and the contact way field are respectively provided with a corresponding "+" button, and when the user clicks the "+" button, the user is determined to execute triggering operation on the corresponding information field to be processed. The configuration tab also comprises a save button, and when the user clicks the + button, the target data format is saved based on the corresponding values of the post field, the name field and the contact information field input by the user.

If the target application associates with a plurality of associated applications, the obtained at least one candidate input data may be output data of a certain associated application or output data of a plurality of associated applications.

As a possible implementation manner, the triggering operation for the at least one to-be-processed information field may be a triggering operation of the pointer on any to-be-processed information field in the at least one to-be-processed information field, that is, the user triggers any to-be-processed information field.

For convenience of description, the to-be-processed information field x is taken as an example below, where the to-be-processed information field x is used to characterize any one of the at least one to-be-processed information field.

If the user triggers the information field x to be processed, at least one candidate input data is presented in the data format change interface. Illustratively, when the user clicks the "+" button corresponding to the pending information field x, it is determined to trigger the pending information field x.

For example, referring to fig. 6, after the user clicks the "+" button corresponding to the "post" field, it is determined that a trigger operation is performed for at least one information field to be processed, and in response to the trigger operation for at least one information field to be processed, various output data of Webhook and various output data of mail application are presented in the data format modification interface, where the various output data of Webhook includes an output data "key", an output data "type", an output data "label" and the like, where the value of the output data "key" is "base", the value of the output data "type" is "string", and the value of the output data "label" is "work directory".

As another possible implementation, the triggering operation for the at least one information field to be processed may refer to a shortcut trigger for presenting the at least one candidate input data, i.e. a user-triggered shortcut trigger. The shortcut triggering mode can be realized by adopting modes such as, but not limited to, gestures, images, voices and the like.

S303, the terminal equipment responds to the selection operation of the target object for at least one candidate input data, and the selected at least one target input data is presented in the data format change interface.

The selecting operation for at least one candidate input data may mean that the user sequentially selects corresponding target input data for the information field to be processed.

For example, referring to fig. 7, the user selects output data "label" for the "post" field, presents selected target input data "label" in the data format change interface, and selects output data "child" for the "name" field, presents selected target input data "child" in the data format change interface.

In the embodiment of the application, after the user clicks the required upstream application, a sample data request is initiated, the system receives the request and pulls the corresponding sample data, after the back end automatically analyzes the request, the front end display is returned, at the moment, the front end interface displays all the upstream output data, the user clicks the required partial data, the front end and back end interaction operation is repeated for a plurality of times, the data format conversion can be completed, and finally, the configuration is confirmed to be correct, and the data can be clicked and stored.

S304, the terminal equipment responds to the binding operation of the target object for at least one target input data and at least one information field to be processed, obtains a target data format, and presents the target data format in a data format changing interface.

For example, referring to fig. 8, when the user clicks the "save" button, in response to a binding operation for each target input data and each information field to be processed, a target data format is obtained in which the "post" field corresponds to the target input data "label", the "name" field corresponds to the target input data "child", and the "contact" field corresponds to the target input data "type".

Through the implementation mode, the data format of the document application can be changed through graphical operation selection of the user without depending on a back-end program, through the design, the user can decide the conversion of the data format of the upstream and downstream application through window operation without support of platform technicians, and the system is oriented to personnel, market customs, data analysis, internet technical administrators and other non-technical professionals, zero research and development cost, simple configuration and high-efficiency work can be achieved, and operation difficulty for realizing automation and intellectualization of a business process is reduced.

In some embodiments, the target data format may be obtained by, but is not limited to, the following:

acquiring a binding relation between at least one target input data and at least one information field to be processed; and based on the binding relation, at least one target input data is used as a field value of a corresponding information field to be processed, and a target data format is obtained.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, each field to be processed included in the initial data format may be preconfigured by a user, and the initial data format may further include a field type corresponding to each field to be processed, so that the user may obtain an input structure corresponding to the target application, that is, the initial data format of the target application, by configuring a key value and a field type of each field to be processed.

For example, in the binding relationship, the "post" field corresponds to the target input data "label", the "name" field corresponds to the target input data "child", the "contact" field corresponds to the target input data "type", after the binding relationship is obtained, the target input data "label" is taken as the value of the "post" field, the target input data "child" is taken as the value of the "name" field, and the target input data "type" is taken as the value of the "contact" field based on the binding relationship.

In the related technology, the development is seriously dependent on technicians, the data format conversion is mainly realized by hard coding, the input value (value) can be determined through candidate input data by the realization mode, and then the target data format is obtained through one-to-one corresponding assembly with the key in the initial data format of the target application, so that the data format conversion of all the applications can be realized by means of interaction between a user and a graphical interface without depending on any back end code, the simplicity and the flexibility are realized, and the data format conversion is determined by the user, so that the platform developer can realize autonomous conversion of the upstream data format and the downstream data format without carrying out data processing on the input and the output of the application, and the access efficiency of the application is greatly improved.

For convenience of description, only the associated application x is illustrated as an example, and the associated application x may be any one of at least one associated application.

In the embodiment of the application, candidate sample data can be input in at least one of the following ways:

mode one: webhook input. Specifically, the terminal device sends at least one candidate sample data of the associated application x to the server based on the target address of the target object. To ensure data security, a different address may be configured for each object. The user may send at least one piece of sample data to the destination address through, but is not limited to, postman.

Through the implementation manner, each piece of candidate sample data can be obtained and stored in an external input manner, and then a user confirms that one piece of data is the target sample data.

Mode two: the preview input is tested. Specifically, the terminal device acquires at least one output data of the associated application x, and takes the at least one output data as at least one candidate sample data.

In the actual application process, the server generally stores N output data that are newly generated by the associated application x, so in the second mode, the terminal device may acquire N output data of the associated application x, and use the N output data as N candidate sample data. The value of N is a positive integer, for example, the value of N is 1.

For example, referring to fig. 12, which is a schematic diagram of a second data format configuration interface provided in an embodiment of the present application, after a user configures a required input parameter of an associated application, clicking a "test and preview" button, the server sends output data of the associated application, i.e. candidate sample data 1, to the terminal device, so that the terminal device presents the candidate sample data 1 in a data presentation area. The second data format configuration interface can also be configured with the document type, the document name and the document storage position of the new document, and the new document can be used for storing candidate sample data.

By the implementation mode, the candidate sample data is automatically output by the terminal equipment, so that the latest candidate sample data can be automatically stored and used as target sample data, and the data processing efficiency is improved.

It should be noted that, in addition to the first and second modes, modes such as attachment uploading and web page submission may be adopted to send candidate sample data to the server.

Specifically, when S902 is performed, the following operations may be employed, but are not limited to:

responding to the triggering operation of the target object for the data preview component, and presenting at least one format selection component in a data format configuration interface, wherein each format selection component corresponds to one candidate sample data;

responsive to a triggering operation of the target object for at least one format selection component, corresponding candidate sample data is presented in a data presentation area.

Taking the type of the format selection component as a tab as an example, referring to fig. 11, a "test and preview" button is a data preview component, after the user clicks the "test and preview" button, a "sample data 1" tab, a "sample data 2" tab, and other tabs except the "sample data 1" tab are presented in the data format configuration interface, and the rest of the tabs are not shown in the figure. After the user clicks the "sample data 1" tab, the terminal device responds to the triggering operation of the user for one format selection component, and presents corresponding candidate sample data in a data presentation area: sample data 1.

By the method, the user can freely determine the target sample data, the flow flexibility is improved, and the use experience of the user can be improved.

S903, the terminal device responds to the selection operation of the target object for at least one candidate sample data, presents the selected target sample data in the data presentation area, and obtains at least one candidate input data based on the target sample data.

In the embodiment of the present application, specifically, when at least one candidate input data is obtained based on the target sample data,

and acquiring a corresponding data preprocessing strategy of the corresponding association application, and formatting the target sample data according to the acquired data preprocessing strategy to obtain at least one candidate input data.

Wherein each associated application may associate at least one data preprocessing policy, and when the associated application is associated with a plurality of data preprocessing policies, the executed data preprocessing policies may be determined based on an operation type of the associated application, including but not limited to: query data, write data, import data, etc. That is, there may be multiple sample data processing policies for a SaaS application, and the data processing of the SaaS application is not dependent on a detailed (detail) table of the database, but is primarily dependent on the type of operation of the application operation.

For example, referring to fig. 11, after the user clicks the "sample data 1" tab, the terminal device presents the corresponding candidate sample data in the data presentation area in response to a trigger operation by the user for the "sample data 1" tab: sample data 1, at this time, the user clicks the "save" button, and the terminal device determines that the user triggers a selection operation for sample data 1, sample data 2, and sample data 3, and in the data presentation area, presents the selected target sample data: because the operation type of the document application is writing data, the sample data 1 is formatted based on a data preprocessing strategy corresponding to the writing data, so as to obtain corresponding candidate input data, wherein the candidate input data comprises "child", "type", "label" and the like.

Obviously, after target sample data corresponding to the Webhook is formatted, flattened candidate input data is obtained, so that the target sample data of the Webhook can be clearly and simply presented, the difficulty of data processing is reduced, and the data processing efficiency is improved.

In the actual application process, since there are multiple processes bound by the same application, in order to avoid that when the application changes the data format, in order to change a certain process to be offline and all related processes at the same time, in the embodiment of the present application, the following manner may be adopted, but is not limited to:

If at least one association application exists in at least one association application, and at least one other association relationship is associated with one association application besides the target association relationship, the terminal equipment acquires a key field set of the association application; and determining a data format change sequence between the target association relationship and at least one other association relationship based on the key field set and the running state information corresponding to the association relationship and the at least one other association relationship.

In the embodiment of the present application, the association relationship of an application may be understood as an association relationship including the application. Based on the set of key fields and the running state information, it may be determined that the corresponding flow is in an edit state or a work state.

For example, it is assumed that the mail application is associated with other relationships in addition to the target relationship, that is, the mail application is bound with other processes in addition to the target process, the terminal device obtains a key field set of the mail application, and then determines, based on the key field set, running state information of the target relationship and running state information of other relationships, that the data format change order is in turn: the method comprises the steps of target association relation and other association relation, wherein the running state information of the target association relation represents that a target process is in an editing state, and the running state information of other association relation represents that other processes are in working states.

According to the implementation mode, based on the key field set and the flow information of the rear end, whether a certain flow is in an editing state or an operating state is confirmed one by one, so that each flow bound by the application is processed one by one, and the problem of one-to-many heat release is solved.

In addition, since multiple versions may exist in the same process, the state discrimination is performed on the triggering of the sample data, so that the process can be edited and modified under the condition of not being offline, and the blue-green release of the process is solved.

In some embodiments, the key field set of an associated application may be obtained by, but is not limited to, the following:

the terminal equipment acquires at least two candidate sample data of an associated application;

the terminal device determines a set of key fields of an associated application based on the at least two candidate sample data.

It should be noted that, each key field included in the key field set may be a repeated field in at least two candidate sample data, or may be a partial field in the repeated field, or may be a field with a confidence degree higher than a preset threshold value selected from at least two candidate sample data.

For example, the terminal device obtains two candidate sample data of the mail application, wherein in the two candidate sample data, repeated fields are an item name and an item identifier, and determines a key field set of the mail application based on the two candidate sample data, wherein key fields contained in the key field set are the item name and the item identifier.

In some embodiments, the data format configuration interface further includes a data saving interface, and after the selected target sample data is presented in the data presentation area in response to a selection operation of the target object for at least one candidate sample data, the initial data format may be saved to the designated storage location in response to a triggering operation of the target object for the data saving interface.

The designated storage location may be a database or a server corresponding to the target application.

Referring to fig. 13, the target authority configuration information includes authority information of the user a, the user B, the user … …, the user M, and the third party, and the authority information of the user a, the user B, the user … …, the user M, and the third party is configured by the configuration server. Assuming that the target object is Zhang San, the terminal device acquires the target authority configuration information, and stores the target data format to a designated storage location when determining that Zhang San is configured to allow the data format to be changed based on the target authority configuration information, so that the document application uses the target data format.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, after the terminal device obtains each candidate input data, a similar manner may be adopted to send the candidate input data to the designated storage location, which is not described herein again.

Through the implementation mode, whether the target object has the information change permission or not is verified through the target permission configuration information, so that the data security is improved, the influence on the normal operation of the application due to information change is avoided, and the system stability is improved.

When the target data formats are stored, the terminal device can also adopt a message queue to carry out degradation distribution processing on temporary hot spot input, and specifically, when the number of the target data formats contained in the message queue exceeds a preset threshold value, the terminal device can carry out degradation distribution processing on the target data formats of the applications with low priorities according to the priorities corresponding to the applications.
