[0048] The embodiments of the present disclosure are further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0049] The embodiment of the present disclosure provides an extensible low-code platform cross-system business integration method, which is applied to a three-party synchronization system, which includes a low-code platform, a low-code platform integration system, and an external system. Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3Schematic diagram of the three-party synchronization system provided for the embodiment of the present disclosure. Specifically, the internal business of an enterprise is complex and contains businesses in multiple external systems. An external system can only provide part of the business of the enterprise. Therefore, it is necessary to connect multiple external systems to the low-code platform and integrate the businesses of multiple external systems into the low-code platform. Among them, low-code is a software development method that enables the target object to build and deploy applications more quickly by minimizing manual coding. The low-code platform provides a set of visual tools and components that enable the target object to create applications by dragging and dropping, configuring and setting properties. It refers to a development platform that can quickly generate applications without coding or with a small amount of code. The low-code platform integration system can be used to adapt management configuration data, and can also be used to adapt the business data of the low-code platform and the business data of the external system. The configuration data can be the basic configuration data of the external system directly obtained, or it can be the configuration data customized by the target object. The target object can be an IT expert or an ordinary business person.

[0050] Reference Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 An optional flowchart of a scalable low-code platform cross-system business integration method provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure, the scalable low-code platform cross-system business integration method includes but is not limited to steps 101 to 107, and each step is introduced in turn below.

[0051] Step 101: The target terminal defines a unified and standardized data model and API interface for the low-code platform integration system in accordance with the specifications of the low-code platform, and defines a unified and standardized data model and API interface for the external system in accordance with the specifications of the low-code platform.

[0052] Specifically, the low-code platform formulates a set of specifications, and the target terminal defines the data model and API interface of the low-code platform integrated system and the data model and API interface of the external system according to the specifications of the low-code platform, and obtains the unified and standardized data model and API interface of the low-code platform integrated system and the unified and standardized data model and API interface of the external system. It can be understood that the target terminal defines the data models and API interfaces of multiple external systems as unified specifications.

[0053] In some embodiments, defining a unified API interface includes: setting up the API interface using the RESTful specification, wherein the HTTP request method of the API interface uses GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE, the request parameters of the API interface use the JSON format, and the response parameters of the API interface use the JSON format or the XML format.

[0054] Specifically, GET means obtaining resources, POST means creating new resources, PUT means updating resources on the server and providing all changed resources to the client, and DELETE means deleting resources. The API interface is set up using the RESTful specification, where the HTTP request method of the API interface uses GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE to represent operations on resources. The semantics are clear, making the design of the API interface more intuitive and easy to understand. The request parameters of the API interface use the JSON format, and the response parameters of the API interface use the JSON format or XML format. Using the same format, the basic configuration data of the external system transmitted by the API interface, the business data of the low-code platform, and the business data of the external system can interact seamlessly, improving data processing efficiency.

[0055] Step 102: The target terminal enters the API call address and authentication information of the external system into the low-code platform integration system, and the low-code platform integration system stores the API call address and authentication information of the external system.

[0056] Specifically, the target terminal enters the API call addresses and authentication information of multiple external systems into the low-code platform integration system, and the low-code platform integration system stores the API call addresses and authentication information of multiple external systems. Each external system's API interface has a corresponding API call address and authentication information. The low-code platform integration system stores the API call addresses and authentication information of multiple external systems so that the subsequent target terminal can directly read and verify the stored API call address and authentication information of the corresponding external system's API interface, so that it can call the external system's API interface.

[0057] Step 103: The target terminal verifies the API call address and authentication information of the external system. If the verification passes, the low-code platform integration system calls the API interface of the external system to obtain the basic configuration data of the external system.

[0058] Specifically, after the low-code platform integration system stores the API call address and authentication information of the external system's API interface, when the low-code platform integration system needs to call the external system's API interface, the target terminal verifies the stored API call address and authentication information of the external system's API interface. If the verification passes, the low-code platform integration system has the authority to call the external system's API interface. Then the low-code platform integration system calls the external system's API interface to obtain the basic configuration data of the external system.

[0059] It can be understood that the target terminal verifies the API call address and authentication information of the API interfaces of multiple external systems. If the verification passes, the low-code platform integration system calls the API interfaces of multiple external systems to obtain the basic configuration data of multiple external systems.

[0060] In some embodiments, the authentication information is an account number and a password, or the authentication information is a key and a secret, or the authentication information is a token.

[0061] Specifically, if the API call address of the external system's API interface is verified and the authentication information of the external system's API interface is also verified, the low-code platform integration system has the authority to call the external system's API interface and can call the external system's API interface to obtain the basic configuration data of the external system.

[0062] Among them, if the authentication information of the API interface of the external system is an account number and password, for the target object, especially when the target object is an ordinary business person, the account number and password are the most commonly used authentication methods in the target object's daily life. The target object has a high degree of familiarity and acceptance of it. The target object can quickly understand the use of the API interface, which improves the development efficiency of the target object's business integrating multiple external systems using the low-code platform. For external systems, using an account number and password makes it easy to perform user management and authority allocation in the background management.

[0063] If the authentication information of the external system's API interface is key and secret, the key and secret are longer and more complex, and are more difficult to be cracked by hackers, which improves the security of the external system's API interface authentication. And combining key and secret to authenticate the API interface increases the security of the external system's API interface authentication.

[0064] If the authentication information of the external system's API interface is a token, the token is an effective means to prevent cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks. It is difficult for hackers to forge a valid token. Using a token as the authentication information of the external system's API interface can improve the security of the external system's API interface authentication.

[0065] In some embodiments, the low-code platform integration system calls the API interface of the external system to obtain the basic configuration data of the external system, including: the target terminal sets the correspondence between the data form of the low-code platform and the data form of the external system, and the field mapping relationship in the data form of the low-code platform and the external system; the low-code platform integration system calls the API interface of the external system to obtain the basic configuration data of the external system according to the correspondence between the data form of the low-code platform and the data form of the external system, and the field mapping relationship in the data form of the low-code platform and the external system.

[0066] Specifically, the low-code platform integration system calls the API interface of the external system to obtain the basic configuration data of the external system based on the correspondence between the data form of the low-code platform and the data form of the external system, and the field mapping relationship in the data form of the low-code platform and the external system. The target terminal can obtain the entire data set of the basic configuration data of the external system, or select the data form and data fields in the data form required in the basic configuration data of the external system according to the needs of the enterprise business, without having to obtain the entire data set, thereby improving the flexibility of the data. In addition, the target terminal sets the correspondence between the data form and the field mapping relationship in the data form to obtain the basic configuration data of the external system, which can improve the accuracy and consistency of obtaining the basic configuration data of the external system.

[0067] Step 104: The target terminal configures the synchronization rules between the low-code platform and the business data of the external system.

[0068] Specifically, the target terminal configures the synchronization rules of business data between the low-code platform and the external system to perform business data synchronization tasks.

[0069] In some embodiments, the synchronization rules include the corresponding relationship of the data form, the field mapping relationship in the data form, the data flow relationship, and the execution cycle of the timed synchronization. The synchronization rules of the business data of the target terminal configuration low-code platform and the external system include:

[0070] The target terminal sets the correspondence between the data form of the low-code platform and the data form of the external system, and the field mapping relationship between the data forms of the low-code platform and the external system;

[0071] The target terminal sets the data flow relationship of the business data. The data flow relationship of the business data specifies that the business data is synchronized from the low-code platform to the external system or from the external system to the low-code platform;

[0072] The target terminal sets the execution cycle for the scheduled synchronization of business data between the low-code platform and the external system.

[0073] It is understandable that the target terminal sets the correspondence between the data form of the low-code platform and the data form of the external system, and the field mapping relationship in the data form of the low-code platform and the external system. The target terminal can obtain the entire data set of the business data of the low-code platform or the external system, or select the required data form and data fields in the data form in the business data of the low-code platform or the external system according to the needs of the enterprise business, without having to obtain the entire data set, thereby improving the flexibility of the data. In addition, the target terminal sets the correspondence between the data form and the field mapping relationship in the data form to obtain the business data of the low-code platform or the external system, which can improve the accuracy and consistency of obtaining the business data of the low-code platform or the external system.

[0074] It can be understood that the target terminal sets the data flow relationship of business data, and the data flow relationship of business data specifies that business data is synchronized from the low-code platform to the external system or from the external system to the low-code platform. The business data of the low-code platform can be synchronized from the low-code platform to the external system, and the business data of the external system can be synchronized from the external system to the low-code platform, so that the business data of the low-code platform and the external system can be synchronized between the low-code platform and the external system, thereby improving the accuracy and consistency of the data. Moreover, the business data of the low-code platform and the external system can be synchronized between the low-code platform and the external system, which can also be understood as backing up the business data in the low-code platform and the external system. Even if one of the low-code platform and the external system fails, the data can be restored from other backups to reduce the risk of data loss.

[0075] It is understandable that the execution cycle of the scheduled synchronization of business data between the low-code platform and the external system can be one day or one week. It can be set according to actual conditions, and this embodiment does not impose specific restrictions on it. Specifically, the business data synchronization task is performed according to the execution cycle of the scheduled synchronization of business data between the low-code platform and the external system. The target object can be flexibly set to synchronize business data at different times according to the business needs of the enterprise, thereby improving the flexibility of synchronizing business data. And after the target terminal sets the execution cycle of the scheduled synchronization of business data between the low-code platform and the external system, the external system automatically synchronizes the business data of the low-code platform with the external system, reducing the time of manual operations of the target object and improving the efficiency of synchronizing business data.

[0076] Step 105: The target terminal uses a unified and standardized data model to set the format and structure of the basic configuration data of the external system transmitted by the API interface, the business data of the low-code platform, and the business data of the external system.

[0077] Specifically, the target terminal uses a unified and standardized data model to set the format and structure of the basic configuration data of the external system, the business data of the low-code platform, and the business data of the external system transmitted by the API interface, so that in the low-code platform, the basic configuration data and business data between different external systems can be seamlessly connected and interacted, thereby improving the data processing efficiency of the low-code platform.

[0078] Step 106: The external system calls the API interface of the low-code platform integration system according to the synchronization rules to perform business data synchronization tasks.

[0079] Specifically, the business data synchronization task can be executed by the target terminal on a scheduled basis, or can be manually triggered by the target object to execute the target terminal.

[0080] In some embodiments, the external system calls the API interface of the low-code platform integration system according to the synchronization rules to perform business data synchronization tasks, including:

[0081] If the data flow relationship of the business data specifies that the business data is synchronized from the low-code platform to the external system, the target terminal responds to the operation of the target object to trigger the business data synchronization task on the low-code platform, triggering the business data synchronization task on the low-code platform, and the low-code platform integration system notifies the external system that the business data synchronization task needs to be executed. The external system calls the API interface of the low-code platform integration system based on the correspondence between the data form of the low-code platform and the data form of the external system, and the field mapping relationship in the data form of the low-code platform and the external system, and initiates a request to the low-code platform integration system to obtain the business data of the low-code platform; the low-code platform integration system responds to the request of the external system to obtain the business data of the low-code platform, and calls the internal API interface to obtain the business data of the low-code platform; the low-code platform integration system returns the business data of the low-code platform to the external system;

[0082] If the data flow relationship of the business data specifies that the business data is synchronized from the external system to the low-code platform, the target terminal responds to the operation of the target object to trigger the business data synchronization task on the low-code platform, triggering the business data synchronization task on the low-code platform, and the low-code platform integration system notifies the external system that the business data synchronization task needs to be executed. The external system calls the API interface of the low-code platform integration system based on the correspondence between the data form of the low-code platform and the data form of the external system, and the field mapping relationship in the data form of the low-code platform and the external system, and sends the business data of the external system to the low-code platform integration system. The low-code platform integration system calls the internal API interface to send the business data of the external system to the low-code platform.

[0083] Specifically, the target terminal obtains the business data of the low-code platform or external system based on the corresponding relationship of the set data form and the field mapping relationship in the data form, which can improve the accuracy and consistency of obtaining the business data of the low-code platform or external system.

[0084] It is understandable that the initiative of executing business data synchronization tasks is handed over to the external system. Instead of the low-code platform being responsible for executing multiple business data synchronization tasks with external systems, multiple external systems are responsible for executing business data synchronization tasks with the low-code platform, which improves the efficiency of business data synchronization between multiple external systems within the enterprise and the low-code platform.

[0085] In some embodiments, the external system calls the API interface of the low-code platform integration system according to the synchronization rules to perform the business data synchronization task, which also includes:

[0086] If the data flow relationship of the business data specifies that the business data is synchronized from the low-code platform to the external system, the external system monitors whether the execution cycle of the scheduled synchronization of the business data has arrived. If the execution cycle of the scheduled synchronization of the business data has arrived, the external system calls the API interface of the low-code platform integration system based on the correspondence between the data form of the low-code platform and the data form of the external system, and the field mapping relationship in the data form of the low-code platform and the external system, and initiates a request to the low-code platform integration system to obtain the business data of the low-code platform; the low-code platform integration system responds to the external system's request to obtain the business data of the low-code platform, and calls the internal API interface to obtain the business data of the low-code platform; the low-code platform integration system returns the business data of the low-code platform to the external system;

[0087] If the data flow relationship of business data specifies that business data is synchronized from an external system to a low-code platform, the external system monitors whether the execution cycle of the scheduled synchronization of business data has arrived. If the execution cycle of the scheduled synchronization of business data has arrived, the external system calls the API interface of the low-code platform integration system based on the correspondence between the data form of the low-code platform and the data form of the external system, and the field mapping relationship in the data form of the low-code platform and the external system, and sends the business data of the external system to the low-code platform integration system. The low-code platform integration system calls the internal API interface to send the business data of the external system to the low-code platform.

[0088] It is understandable that the target terminal obtains the business data of the low-code platform or external system according to the corresponding relationship of the set data form and the field mapping relationship in the data form, which can improve the accuracy and consistency of obtaining the business data of the low-code platform or external system. In addition, the initiative to execute business data synchronization tasks is handed over to the external system. Instead of the low-code platform being responsible for executing multiple business data synchronization tasks with external systems, multiple external systems are responsible for executing business data synchronization tasks with the low-code platform, which improves the business data synchronization efficiency between multiple external systems within the enterprise and the low-code platform.

[0089] Specifically, the business data synchronization task can be executed by the target terminal at a scheduled time, or can be manually triggered by the target object to execute the target terminal, thereby improving the flexibility of synchronizing business data.

[0090] In some embodiments, the low-code platform integration system includes an integrated configuration module and an integrated data module. The integrated configuration module is used to adapt and manage the basic configuration data of the external system, and the integrated data module is used to adapt the business data of the low-code platform and the external system.

[0091] Specifically, the integrated configuration module and the integrated data module are the adaptation layer. The integrated configuration module is responsible for adapting and managing the basic configuration data of the external system, and the integrated data module is responsible for adapting the business data of the low-code platform and the external system. The adaptation layer can convert data from one format to another to meet different storage or transmission requirements, help optimize data storage and transmission efficiency, and reduce data redundancy and unnecessary processing. The adaptation layer can also perform verification and filtering during data transmission to improve data accuracy and integrity, help reduce data error and exception handling overhead, and improve the stability and reliability of external systems and low-code platforms.

[0092] Step 107: The target terminal integrates the basic configuration data of the external system and the business data of the low-code platform one by one according to the data correspondence between the basic configuration data of the external system and the business data of the low-code platform, or integrates the basic configuration data of the external system and the business data of the external system one by one according to the data correspondence between the basic configuration data of the external system and the business data of the external system to form a complete business.

If the verification passes, the low-code platform integration system calls the API interface of the external system to obtain the basic configuration data of the external system; the target terminal configures the synchronization rules of the business data between the low-code platform and the external system; the target terminal uses a unified and standardized data model to set the format and structure of the basic configuration data of the external system, the business data of the low-code platform, and the business data of the external system transmitted by the API interface; the external system calls the API interface of the low-code platform integration system according to the synchronization rules to perform the business data synchronization task; the target terminal integrates the basic configuration data of the external system and the business data of the low-code platform one by one according to the data correspondence between the basic configuration data of the external system and the business data of the low-code platform, or integrates the basic configuration data of the external system and the business data of the external system one by one according to the data correspondence between the basic configuration data of the external system and the business data of the low-code platform to form a complete business. The target terminal defines the data model and API interface of the low-code platform integration system and the data model and API interface of the external system in a unified and standardized manner according to the specifications of the low-code platform, standardizes and normalizes the business integration work, and the target object does not need to constantly modify the code to expand the low-code platform integration system to adapt to the API interfaces of different external systems, which reduces the workload of the low-code platform integration system to adapt to the API interfaces of different external systems, reduces the complexity and maintenance difficulty of the low-code platform integration system itself, and improves the development efficiency of cross-external system business integration using the low-code platform. It also simplifies the docking mode between multiple external systems within the enterprise and the low-code platform, making it easier for the target object to maintain and operate the cross-external system business integration of the low-code platform. In addition, the target terminal uses a unified and standardized data model to set the format and structure of the basic configuration data of the external system transmitted by the API interface, the business data of the low-code platform, and the business data of the external system, so that in the low-code platform, the basic configuration data and business data between different external systems can be seamlessly docked and interacted, improving the data processing efficiency of the low-code platform.

The target terminal uses a unified and standardized data model to set the format and structure of the basic configuration data of the external system, the business data of the low-code platform, and the business data of the external system transmitted by the API interface.
