The Business Automation Portal is an entirely new Frends feature, where a second simplified user interface of Frends is deployed alongside the existing main Frends user interface.
The goal of the Business Automation Portal is to enable a no-code business user experience to discover pre-built integration flows from a library of templates, configure those integration flows, and to take them into use in the connected main Frends tenant.
The Portal capitalizes on the established Frends Templates feature, facilitating its use for business users.
Additionally, the Portal can be utilized to offer an embedded iPaaS experience for ISV/SaaS partners of Frends. This is achieved by developing a designated number of Templates that connect to their solutions or offering value-added services to their end customers through Frends.
Note: The Portal requires Frends to be on at least version 6.0.3
The Portal will support the following use cases and functionalities:
Business User onboarding and registration
