The WAVES Blockchain Platform is a new type of internet based communications infrastructure, currently mostly known as being in Top 50 Cryptocurrencies , the platform actually offers a lot more. Its strength is in its ability to easily create your own token and cost effectively add data to its Blockchain Database. This creates a whole new era of opportunity to create new workflow efficiencies and monetisation possibilities. With this this in mind that I believe Microsoft Flow and WAVES Blockchain Platform provide a perfect match for business owners to cost effectively implement Blockchain Solutions. In this article and future series I will be exploring the opportunities combination of Microsoft Flow and WAVES Blockchain Platform offer.
WAVES BLOCKCHAIN CONNECTOR:
Unfortunately WAVES Blockchain Platform does not have native connector in Microsoft Flow. Fortunately I have created one for you to download and upload as a Custom Connector. You can download the file here and upload it under the Custom Connector "OpenAPI file":
If you require further instructions on importing custom connector my previous step by step article on setting up WAVES connector maybe useful, this can be found here. Please note the previous article connector is based on the Public Postman Collection file made available by WAVES, however my connector above includes an additional feature being retrival of Asset (custom token) Details which will be required in the workflow steps in this article and most likely future articles hence please use my custom connector referenced in this article.
The workflow logic is as follows:
Trigger: Recurr Every 3 Minutes (the most my subscription allows)
Action: Get Transactions by Address (input your wallet address here) as well as how many recent transactions to retrieve. In this case I used 50 (check last 50 transactions every three minutes).
Action: Parse the Data (this is required so we can access the Dynamic Content for future steps)
You can copy the JSON structure from this file
This is where is get a little complicated the process is, so I have done a short video explaining these steps. Essentially the process is:
To help explain the above further I have prepared the following video:
A high level overview of the workflow logic is:
This flow forms the basis for new opportunities such as:
1) Integration into Business Systems via the connectors with Microsoft Flow (when receive transfer -> input Wallet Address & Amount into Insightly (the popular CRM tool))
2) Utilise as a public broadcasting system
3) No cost, no charge back (for the seller) - Electronic Funds Transfer System
4) New monetisation opportunities on communication (e.g. pay to send messages to directly to individual or pay to broadcast your message to a particular channel or account).
5) Anonymous whistleblowing
