Use Workato Copilot for Recipe Step Understanding
Workato has introduced the Copilot feature, simplifying recipe development. Users can now articulate the desired integration functionalities using natural language. Copilots subsequently generate an outline of the recipe, allowing users to easily verify, adjust, or expand upon it. This same process applies to connector creation, where Copilot generates editable code for users to incorporate into their connector code.
What’s interesting about this feature is its capability to aid in understanding recipe steps, clarifying the purpose of each step within an existing recipe. By “recipe step,” I refer to providing a concise or detailed explanation of its function as illustrated in the image below.
Why is this information necessary? We document this process in the Recipe Design Document because some users or new team members are unfamiliar with Workato. They seek to quickly understand the purpose of the recipe, and they can easily refer to the Recipe Design Document to grasp the concepts.
With the assistance of Copilot, I can produce documentation that explains the understanding of each step within the recipe with a single click.
- Step 1: Retrieve the manifest from the Recipe code, usually formatted in JSON.
- Step 2: Draft a prompt that elucidates the recipe step and provides a summary of the information.
- Step 3: Ask Copilot.
- Step 4: Ideally, Copilot will furnish the information regarding the Recipe Understanding.
- Step 5: Evaluate the feedback from Copilot, make necessary edits, and incorporate it into the Recipe Design Document.
Moreover, these steps can be automated using recipe, enhancing my team’s productivity by eliminating the need to manually create design documentation for understanding recipe steps.
