Quickstart for AI
In this guide, we will use the Integry.JS SDK and Integry Functions API to enable users to connect apps and invoke functions in those apps from your AI application.
Before you proceed, please sign up for a free trial (if you haven't).
Set up the SDK
Follow the steps here.
Enable your users to connect apps
Your users have to first connect an app before you can invoke functions in that app. You could use or more of the following options.
Shows apps in the Integry marketplace
Call the showApps() method to easily show all (or some) available apps as a marketplace. Users will simply click an app to connect.
Show apps in your own marketplace
Build your own apps marketplace and call the connectApp() method when they click on an app.
integry.connectApp("slack").then((connectedAccountId) => {
console.log("Connected to Slack with account ID:", connectedAccountId);
}).catch((error) => {
console.error("Failed to connect to Slack:", error);
});Connect apps when needed
Call isAppConnected() method (when they try to use a function of an app) to check if the app is connected. If not, ask them to connectApp().
integry.isAppConnected("slack").then((result) => {
if(result) {
renderFunctionUI("slack-post-message");
} else {
integry.connectApp("slack").then((response) => {
renderFunctionUI("slack-post-message")
});
}
}).catch((error) => {
console.error("Failed to determine auth status:", error);
});Predict the function to invoke
Let's say your user says they want to "send a message saying hello! to the random channel on slack".
In order to execute the slack-post-message function, you have to first predict that its the most relevant function.
You can simply pass the prompt to Integry and predict the function with Integry AI, or predict it yourself (by listing all available functions).
Predict the function with Integry AI
Call the functions/predict API endpoint with {"prompt: "<user_message>"} to get the most relevant function. You can also have Integry predict the arguments.
import requests
# Example 2: Basic Prediction
message = "send a message saying hello! to the random channel on slack"
response = requests.post(
"https://api.integry.io/functions/predict/",
json={"prompt": message},
headers={
"User-ID": "<string>",
"App-Key": "<string>",
"Hash": "<string>"
},
)
function = responseSample Response:
{
"functions": [
{
"name": "slack-post-message",
"description": "Sends a message to a channel",
"parameters": {
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"channel": {
"type": "string",
"description": "Select channel you want to post the message to. Call `slack-list-conversations` to get available channels"
},
"text": {
"type": "string",
"description": "The message text to be posted to Slack"
}
},
"required": [
"channel",
"text"
]
}
}
]
}The functions array will be empty if Integry is unable to predict the function. You can ask the user to improve the prompt and try again.
Predict the function yourself
Retrieve a list of available functions using the /functions/list endpoint and pass them to your AI model. Your model will predict the function to use.
If you need to call an endpoint that is not supported by Integry, you can make a Passthrough Request.
Prepare the arguments
In order to invoke a function, you have to first prepare the arguments based on the parameters that the function requires.
Similar to predicting the function, you can simply pass the prompt to Integry and predict the arguments with Integry AI, or predict them yourself (using the function spec).
Predict the arguments with Integry AI
Call the functions/predict API endpoint with predict_arguments=true to get the most relevant function with populated arguments.
# Example 1: Prediction with Populated Arguments
message = "send a message saying hello! to the random channel on slack"
response = requests.post(
"https://api.integry.io/functions/predict/",
params={"predict_arguments": "true"},
json={"prompt": message},
headers={
"User-ID": "<string>",
"App-Key": "<string>",
"Hash": "<string>",
},
)
function = responseSample Response for Prediction with Populated Arguments:
{
"functions": [
{
"name": "slack-post-message",
"description": "Sends a message to a channel",
"parameters": {
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"channel": {
"type": "string",
"description": "Select channel you want to post the message to. Call `slack-list-conversations` to get available channels"
},
"text": {
"type": "string",
"description": "The message text to be posted to Slack"
}
},
"required": [
"channel", "text"
]
},
"arguments": {
"channel": "random",
"text": "hello!"
}
}
]
}Alternatively, if you predicted the function yourself and want Integry to predict the arguments, call the functions/<function_name>/get API endpoint with prompt in the body to get the function with populated arguments.
message = "send a message saying hello! to the random channel on slack"
response = requests.post(
"https://api.integry.io/functions/slack-post-message/get/",
json={"prompt": message},
headers={
"User-ID": "<string>",
"App-Key": "<string>",
"Hash": "<string>",
},
)
function = responseThe response is the same as above.
Predict the arguments yourself
Call the functions/<function_name>/get endpoint to get the function spec and pass it to your AI model. Your model will predict and populate the arguments.
You may need to make additional calls to source functions to fetch options. Once you have the related data from the source function, use your model to pick the most relevant value from the set.
If you use predict the arguments with Integry AI, we handle this for you.
Show the Function UI to the user
Before you invoke the function, if you want the user to confirm the predicted arguments, or provide one (or more) required arguments that could not be predicted, you can call showFunctionUI() method to show the Function UI to the user (with pre-filled arguments, if any).
const arguments = {
"channel": "random",
"text": "hello!"
}
integry.showFunctionUI("slack-post-message", arguments).then((result) => {
console.log("Function parameters filled-in by the user:", result);
}).catch((error) => {
console.error("Failed to load function UI:", error);
});This will open the Function UI (with the pre-filled arguments) in a modal.
This method returns a result object with the filled-in arguments that you can use to invoke the function.
Functions that mutate data can potentially do irreversible damage. Even if you have predicted the arguments, consider always showing the Function UI to the user (with the predicted arguments) so they can confirm before you execute.
Execute the function
Call the function
Call invokeFunction() with the <function_name> and arguments object to execute the function.
const arguments = {
"channel": "random",
"text": "hello!"
}
integry.invokeFunction("slack-post-message", arguments).then((result) => {
console.log("Received response from Slack:", result);
}).catch((error) => {
console.error("Failed to invoke function:", error);
});Process the result
The result object will have the response from the app if the function was executed (or error details if it wasn't).
In this case, you should see the following success response from Slack in the console:
That's it! You have enabled your users to connect apps and execute functions in those apps from your AI application using Integry Functions.
Next steps
Try fetching data using a function like pipedrive-get-all-persons . It supports paginated calls so the result will include a next_page cursor that you will include in the arguments in the next invocation.
