While CloudApps and Library Open Workflows (LibOW) are often perceived as separate - one for extending the Alma UI and the other for backend automation - this session demonstrates how they now work in tandem to create a seamless, end-to-end library experience.
We will clarify their roles by framing CloudApps as the "Face" (UI-driven interaction) and Open Workflows as the "Brain" (logic and orchestration), showcasing how easily you can connect them to trigger complex tasks or push contextual data back to the user. To make this even more accessible, we will dive into "Vibe Coding," showing how you can now use natural language to describe your goals and let AI handle the heavy lifting of writing and connecting the code for you, specifically to accelerate the creation and deployment of CloudApps
