Real-World Use Cases for the .do SDK

Empower your applications by seamlessly connecting with the .do platform and leveraging its agentic workflow capabilities through our powerful Software Development Kit.

The .do platform is designed to bring the power of Agentic AI and "Business-as-Code" to your operations, allowing you to define and automate complex workflows as if they were software services. But how do you integrate this powerful platform into your existing applications, systems, and processes? Enter the .do SDK – your key to unlocking seamless integration and extending the reach of the .do platform.

The Software Development Kit (SDK) for integrating and extending .do platform capabilities is built for developers who want to:

• Build custom solutions that interact with the .do platform.
• Automate .do workflows from external triggers.
• Connect your existing services and data to the .do ecosystem.
• Leverage the "services as software" model programmatically.

This blog post explores some compelling real-world use cases where the .do SDK shines.

Integrating with Existing Applications

One of the most common needs is to connect the .do platform with applications you already use and rely on. The .do SDK makes this straightforward.

Use Case: Synchronizing Customer Data

Imagine you have a CRM system that manages customer information and a .do workflow designed to personalize communication based on customer segments. With the .do SDK, you can:

1. Set up a webhook in your CRM that triggers when a customer's information is updated.
2. Use the .do SDK in a small backend service to receive that webhook event.
3. Call the appropriate .do agent or workflow using the SDK to update the customer's profile within the .do platform or initiate a personalized communication sequence.

This ensures that your CRM data and your automated .do workflows are always in sync, providing a consistent and efficient customer experience.

Automating Workflow Triggers

Manual triggers for complex workflows can be time-consuming and error-prone. The .do SDK allows you to automate these triggers based on external events.

Use Case: Kicking Off a Procurement Process from an Inventory Alert

Suppose you have an inventory management system that monitors stock levels and sends alerts when items are low. You can use the .do SDK to:

1. Listen for low-stock alerts from your inventory system.
2. Utilize the .do SDK to programmatically initiate a pre-defined procurement workflow within the .do platform. This workflow could involve generating purchase orders, notifying suppliers, and updating inventory records.

This automation significantly speeds up the procurement process and reduces the risk of stockouts, improving efficiency and reducing operational costs.

Building Custom Dashboards and Monitoring

While the .do platform provides excellent dashboards, you might need to build custom views that combine .do data with information from other systems. The .do SDK provides the necessary tools.

Use Case: Creating a Unified Operations Dashboard

You might want a single dashboard that shows the status of your .do workflows, combined with performance metrics from your web application and customer support tickets. Using the .do SDK, you can:

1. Fetch the status and logs of your running .do workflows.
2. Combine this data with information retrieved from APIs of your other systems (e.g., application monitoring, customer support).
3. Build a custom dashboard application that provides a holistic view of your operations, enabling quicker decision-making and troubleshooting.

Extending Agentic Capabilities

The .do platform's strength lies in its Agentic AI capabilities and the ability to define and run complex business processes as code. The .do SDK allows you to programmatically interact with these agents and workflows.

Use Case: Implementing Dynamic Pricing Based on External Data

Imagine you want to dynamically adjust product pricing based on competitor pricing data, which you gather from a third-party service. Using the .do SDK:

1. You can have a scheduled job or an external service retrieve competitor pricing data.
2. Using the .do SDK, you call a .do agent responsible for price adjustments.
3. You pass the competitor data to the agent, which then executes a predefined logic (within the ".do" platform) to calculate the optimal price and update it in your e-commerce system.

This allows for rapid and automated price adjustments, helping you stay competitive.

Getting Started with the .do SDK

Ready to start integrating and extending the .do platform?

import { DoSDK } from '@do/sdk';

const sdk = new DoSDK({
  apiKey: 'YOUR_API_KEY',
});

// Example: Fetch available agents
async function listAgents() {
  try {
    const agents = await sdk.agents.list();
    console.log('Available Agents:', agents);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error listing agents:', error);
  }
}

listAgents();

Getting started is easy. You can install the .do SDK via npm or yarn package managers. Detailed installation instructions and documentation are available on our developer portal. The SDK is designed to be used with a variety of programming languages, though we primarily provide examples and support for TypeScript/JavaScript.
