Patent attributes
Techniques for user-assisted plug-in application recipe (PIAR) execution are disclosed. During execution of a PIAR, a PIAR management application applies one or more data values for a plug-in application field to a machine learning model, to obtain: (a) a candidate mapping between one or more sub-values discovered within the data value(s) and another field accepted by an action of another plug-in application, the data value(s) being of a data type different from a reported data type of the other field, and (b) a confidence metric associated with the candidate mapping, based at least in part on whether the sub-value(s) fit(s) one or more stored formats mapped to the other data type. Based on a determination that the confidence metric does not satisfy a threshold confidence criterion, the PIAR management application obtains user input affirming or rejecting the candidate mapping, and applies the user input to execution of the PIAR.
