Implementation Agent

Build integrations by describing them in plain English. The Implementation Agent generates your flows and resolves schema mappings automatically - no manual configuration required.

The Implementation Agent is active on your account. Access it from any process flow or mapping via the AI assistant icon.

How it works

The Implementation Agent is accessed through a chat panel within the Patchworks canvas, on the left hand-side or within the map shape. You describe what you want to build - for example, "Build a Shopify to NetSuite order flow" , "Map Shopify to NetSuite order fields" - and the agent builds it step by step.

Because the agent has access to your connector configurations and available endpoints, it can make sensible decisions about which connectors to use, how shapes should connect, and what mappings are needed - surfacing any ambiguities for you to confirm rather than guessing.

Flow Builder

Flow Builder lets you generate a complete integration flow from a single prompt. Describe the systems involved and what you want to move between them, and the agent constructs the full flow on the canvas - trigger, connector steps, mappings and all.

1

Open a new or existing process flow

Navigate to Process Flows and open the canvas. The AI assistant panel appears on the left-hand side.

2

Describe your integration in plain English

Type what you want to build - e.g. "Build a flow to sync Shopify orders to NetSuite every hour". Be as specific or as high-level as you like.

3

Review and confirm

The agent builds the flow step by step, surfacing any decisions that need your input (e.g. which connector instance to use). Confirm or adjust as needed.

4

Iterate with follow-up prompts

Once the initial flow is built, continue the conversation to refine it - add filters, change triggers, or ask the agent to build the mapping data.

Flow Builder works best when your connectors are already set up and authenticated but can also grab from the Marketplace.

Smart Mapping

Smart Mapping handles schema translation between systems. Once a flow is built, you can ask the agent to resolve the field-by-field mapping between your source and destination connectors - it reads the schemas, works out the appropriate field matches and transformations, and builds the mapping for you.

You can also use Smart Mapping independently, opening the Map Builder panel within any mapping step and describing the changes you want to make in plain English.

1

Automatically resolves field names across different system schemas

2

Applies appropriate transformations (format conversions, string casting, fallbacks)

3

Handles multi-source fields - e.g. combining first and last name into a full name field

4

Works iteratively - describe changes in plain English to update an existing mapping

Tips & best practices

Be specific about connector instances. If you have multiple instances of the same connector (e.g. Shopify staging vs production), mention which one you want the agent to use. If you don't specify, it will ask.

Build flows and mappings in sequence. Ask the agent to build the flow structure first, then follow up with "Build the mapping data" as a second prompt. This gives cleaner results than trying to do both in one step.

Always review before activating. The Implementation Agent builds flows based on your description and available connectors, but you should review the generated steps and mappings before setting a flow live in production.
