Abstract

Techniques for adapting workflows based on commonality with others are provided. It is detected that a workflow server connected to a network is being configured via a user interface to create a workflow. The workflow includes detecting a trigger via a sensor in the network and causing an action to execute at a device in the network in response to the trigger. The workflow being created is compared to a previously created workflow to generate a score that indicates a degree of similarity between the workflow being created and the previously created workflow. Upon verifying that the score satisfies a predefined condition, at least one feature of the previously created workflow that is not currently included in the workflow being created is selected. The user interface is signaled to display an indication to propose that the feature be included in the workflow being created.
