Backendless
Backend PlatformFull Backendless platform integration with 20 triggers and 13 actions. Agents react to database events, file operations, user registrations, push notifications, and timers. Complete backend automation for Backendless-powered applications.
What This Integration Enables
Backendless integration connects the application layer to the orchestration layer. Application events become workflow triggers. FlowRunner agents respond to database changes, user registrations, file activity, and push notification events by taking action in connected operational systems: CRM, ERP, communication platforms, and storage.

Use Case Scenarios
New User Registration Onboarding
On New User Registered fires in a SaaS application. The agent creates a CRM contact in HubSpot, sends the welcome email via MailerSend, creates the Stripe customer record for future billing, and creates an onboarding task in Asana. The new user's registration in the application triggers the complete onboarding stack automatically.
Application Document Processing
Users upload documents through a Backendless-powered mobile app. File Uploaded fires. The agent retrieves the file, sends it to Parseur for structured data extraction, validates the extracted data, saves the results back to the Backendless database using Save Record In Database, and sends a confirmation push notification to the user via Send Push Notification. The user gets real-time feedback on their document upload.
Database Event-Driven ERP Sync
An order record is created in the Backendless application database. On Record Created fires. The agent retrieves the full order details using Find Record(s) in Database, creates the corresponding sales order in NetSuite, updates the Backendless record with the NetSuite SO number using Update Records With Query, and sends a Slack notification to the operations team. Application orders and ERP records stay synchronized in real time.
Human-in-Loop Highlight
When On Record Created fires for a high-value transaction or an anomalous data pattern (unusually large order, suspicious user behavior pattern), the agent does not process it silently. It routes to the operations team via Slack: "New application record flagged for review: [record type], [key data]. This is outside normal parameters. Review before I sync to the ERP?" The team reviews the raw application data before it propagates to connected systems. Anomalies get human eyes before they become problems.
Agent Capabilities
13 actionsDatabase Operations
5- Save Record In Database Creates or updates a record in a Backendless database. Used to write agent-processed data back to the application database.
- Delete Record In Database Removes a single record. Used in cleanup and governance workflows.

- Find Record(s) in Database Retrieves records matching query criteria. Used when agents need to read application data for processing or routing.
- Update Records With Query Updates multiple records matching specified criteria. Used for bulk field updates in the application database.
File Management
5- Create File Creates a file in Backendless File Service. Used when agents generate content (reports, PDFs, exports) that needs to be stored in the application's file system.
- Add To File Appends content to an existing file. Used for log files and accumulation workflows.
- List Directory Returns the contents of a file directory. Used for file inventory and batch processing workflows.
