Server-side UI task control for onboarding users to a messaging platform

摘要

According to an aspect, a system includes a messaging platform configured to facilitate an exchange of messages between user accounts of the messaging platform, and a client application configured to communicate with the messaging platform. The messaging platform is configured to store a UI process flow relating to the on-boarding process, where the UI process flow defines a flow logic for a plurality of nodes representing tasks to be executed by the client application, and each node is defined by one or more generic UI components and configuration data that configures the generic UI components to render UI objects on a user interface of the client application. The messaging platform is configured to modify one or more of the tasks or the flow logic to change at least one aspect of the on-boarding process without requiring the client application to implement a software update.
