Abstract: Disclosed are various approaches for workflow service back end integration. In some examples, a data request is received. The request is associated with a network service. A single sign-on (SSO) token is received. The SSO token represents a user account authenticated with an identity manager. Authentication data for the network service is identified based on the SSO token. The authentication data can specify an authentication site of the network service. A navigation action is automatically performed on the authentication site. The requested data is received. A command to present on a client device the data is transmitted to the client device.

Abstract: Disclosed are various approaches for retrieving contacts from a plurality of federated services. In one example, an authentication notification is received from an identity manager. The authentication notification can include an identifier for a user account and a single sign-on token for the user account. A federated service to authenticate on behalf of the user account is identified. The single sign-on token is transmitted to the federated service for authentication. An authentication token and a refresh token is received from the federated service. The authentication token is determined to expire within a threshold time period. The refresh token is has not expired. The refresh token is transmitted to the federated service for a replacement authentication token.

Abstract: Disclosed are various approaches for retrieving contacts from a plurality of federated services. A query is received from a client application executing on a client device, the query comprising a single sign-on token that identifies a user and a character string. A number of federated services that the user has permission to access are then identified. A plurality of authentication tokens are then retrieved from an authentication service, each of the plurality of authentication tokens identifying the user to a respective one of the plurality of federated services. Next, the authentication token and the character string are provided to a respective connector for each of the plurality of federated services that the user has permission to access. A plurality of responses are received, each of the plurality of responses being received from the respective connector corresponding to each of the plurality of federated services that the user has permission to access. Then the plurality of responses are provided to the client application executing on the client device.

Abstract: Disclosed are various approaches for workflow service back end integration. In some examples, an event is detected. The event is associated with an enterprise. A workflow action to perform is identified based on event. A user account is identified using at least one of the workflow action and the event. A command to present the workflow action is transmitted to a client device. A user indication to perform the workflow action is identified. Authentication data for the network service is identified based on a single sign-on (SSO) token associated with the user account. The workflow action is automatically performed using the network service. An authentication with the network service is completed based on the authentication data.
