Application: Generation of recommendations from dynamically-mapped data (Patent ID: US20240104630A1)

The patent filed by Salesforce Inc. describes a system and method for generating recommendations from dynamically-mapped data. The system involves receiving requests to generate a recommendation object and retrieve additional data, mapping the additional data to the recommendation object, and generating structured query language (SQL) statements to retrieve the additional data. The recommendation object is hydrated with the additional data at runtime, and the mapping is agnostic to the data hierarchy of the structured data object.

Furthermore, the system includes a graphical user interface (GUI) that visually represents the retrieval of recommendation data, retrieval of additional data, mapping of the additional data, and generation of the recommendation object as a process flow. Each operation is associated with a node within the process flow, and the mapping of additional data is visually represented as a map node linking nodes for retrieval and generation. The recommendation object can be based on an up next recommendation, with the recommendation data potentially comprising customer relationship management (CRM) records and the additional data including scheduling information or prompts for action. The system ensures that the additional data is mapped to the recommendation object without duplication in the first database table, enhancing efficiency and usability for users.
