Hello, Workflow! Getting Started with a Simple .do Example

Are you looking for a way to streamline your business processes and deliver valuable services more efficiently? Imagine encapsulating complex tasks into simple code that can be triggered via an API or SDK. This is the power of developer services and turning business as code. At .do, we're making this a reality with our AI-powered Agentic Workflow Platform.

We believe in developer services unleashed, empowering you to build, automate, and deliver business services as code. Whether it's automating invoice generation, streamlining customer onboarding, or managing intricate order processing, .do provides the tools to transform these processes into executable workflows.

Let's dive into a simple example to show you just how easy it is to get started with .do. We'll look at a basic workflow written using our SDK, demonstrating how you can define inputs, execute the workflow, and get results.

import { Workflow } from "@dotdo/sdk";

const myWorkflow = new Workflow("generateInvoice"); // 1. Define a new Workflow named "generateInvoice"

myWorkflow.setInput({ // 2. Set the input data for the workflow
  customer: {
    name: "Acme Corp",
    email: "info@acmecorp.com"
  },
  items: [
    { name: "Product A", quantity: 2, price: 100 },
    { name: "Product B", quantity: 1, price: 50 }
  ]
});

const result = await myWorkflow.run(); // 3. Run the workflow

console.log(result); // 4. Output the result

Breaking Down the Example:

1. We start by importing the Workflow class from the @dotdo/sdk. This is your entry point into defining a new workflow. We give our workflow a descriptive name, "generateInvoice," clearly indicating its purpose.
2. Next, we use the setInput() method to provide the data required for our workflow to execute. In this case, we're providing customer information and details about the items to be included in the invoice. This structure of defining inputs is crucial for making your business services easily consumable via APIs.
3. The run() method is where the magic happens. This asynchronous function triggers the execution of the "generateInvoice" workflow on the .do platform. Behind the scenes, this could involve various steps like calculating totals, interacting with external systems, or even leveraging AI agents to perform specific tasks.
4. Finally, the result variable holds the output of the workflow execution. This could be the generated invoice details, a success or failure status, or any other relevant data that the workflow is designed to produce.

This simple example demonstrates the core concept of turning a business process (generating an invoice) into an executable piece of services as software. By defining your workflows in code, you gain immense flexibility, reusability, and the ability to automate and integrate these services seamlessly into your existing systems.
