Description

Image

Here's the interaction we want to enable. Note how the chat returns nicely formatted "chips" that the user can click on within the chat window to be taken to various interfaces on OpenFn.

  1. Me: "Please build a workflow that gets data from a REST API, transforms it, then loads it into a table in Postgres"
  2. AI: "Great, here's the workflow. [HTTP -> Common -> Postgres.] Once this looks good, let's dive into step 1 to write the first GET request together: [Provide HYPERLINK to step 1 IDE.]"
  3. Me: [Clicks link] "What now?"
  4. AI: "Please drop a link to the API documentation for this first REST API, indicating which endpoint you want to connect to."
  5. Me: [Pastes link.]
  6. AI: "Thanks. Here's a GET request to that API, with authentication handled. Note that you don't have a credential set up for this step so you'll need to do that by clicking here: [Link to pick/create credential.]"
