Abstract: Systems herein supply hero cards that display contextual information and actions based on backend systems. The information and actions are related to a trigger content item in an application that does not have access to the backend systems. A hero agent running a user device can communicate the trigger content to a hero server. The hero server can determine which connectors to backend systems relate to the user device, and then can retrieve result information from one or more of the backend systems. The result information populates the hero card, which the hero agent displays within the application. Action buttons on the hero card cause the hero agent to contact one or more of the backend systems to cause an action to take place there.
