Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products for managing workflows between multiple third-party systems. A content management system stores a workflow that operates over content objects by invoking third-party applications. The content management system invokes these third-party applications, and these applications make modifications to the progression of the workflows as the third-party applications carry-out their specific portions of the workflow. Upon receipt of a workflow variable value from a first third-party application, the content management system determines the semantics of the workflow variable value and caries out a next portion of the workflow. The content management system then invokes a further next portion of the workflow to be carried out by a second third-party application. Upon receipt of a workflow variable value from the second third-party application, the content management system determines the semantics of the workflow variable value to then carry out yet a further portion of the workflow.

Abstract: Processing user-triggered, broker-assisted workflows. A content management system is configured to host a hierarchy of content objects that are partitioned into two or more user contexts. A first workflow object is configured and then stored into a first one of the two or more user contexts. A computer-implemented service agent is configured to receive a workflow trigger from an event raised in a second one of the two or more user contexts. The computer-implemented service agent executes in the second one of the two or more user contexts while processing the first workflow object using permissions that are associated with the first one of the two or more user contexts. The computer-implemented service agent processes the workflow object in the context of the first one of the two or more user contexts. Results from execution of the workflow objects are provided to the process that raised the workflow trigger.
