Integration teams learn why a flow failed, and get a remediation proposed, without reading run logs themselves.
Patchworks Documentation Agent
Every integration flow gets documentation written from its actual configuration, not from memory.
An agent reads a flow's live configuration and writes its overview, step-by-step data flow, and per-step notes.
What the agent does
Reads a flow's configuration and writes its documentation and per-step notes on its own, then regenerates them when the flow changes.

01
The problem
Why this exists
Integration documentation is rarely written and almost never kept up to date. What a flow does, how data moves through it, and why each step is configured the way it is lives in the heads of the people who built it. Separate documents drift out of sync with the real configuration, so handovers, audits, support, and change work all run slower and riskier than they need to.

The people who carry that risk are merchants, partners, and systems integrators, plus the implementation and support teams who build and then maintain the same flows again for each customer.
02
Outcomes
What changes when this is in place
- Documentation is generated on demand from the flow's actual configuration rather than written by hand.
- The write-up stays aligned with the configuration, because it is derived from it and can be regenerated after changes.
- PDF exports give handovers, audits, and customer sign-off a document to share.

- Step-level notes are written in place, so why a step is configured the way it is stops living only with its author.

How it works
Architecture
The agent sits inside the integration platform's own interface rather than in a separate tool, and it reads the flow configuration the platform already holds: the trigger, the shapes, the mappings, and the scripts. Nothing is exported to a document store first, which is what keeps the write-up aligned with the version of the flow it describes.

It is reachable from three places. In the platform's agent studio it is a conversation: asked to document a flow by name, it locates the flow, generates the documentation, and returns a link to view it. From any flow, Flow documentation in the toolbar opens a side panel with the overview, trigger, data flow, and per-step breakdown, alongside Regenerate and Download PDF. From a step's Notes panel, Generate note with AI writes that step's description straight into the field, ready to edit and save.
Output is a structured document viewable in the platform and downloadable as a PDF, plus generated step notes.

Verification
Contributor submission
The detail on this page comes from the contributor's own account of their own work. The MACH Alliance reviews a submission before publishing it and does not independently verify the figures in it.
What this page does not establish
- No measured time saving, adoption figure, or named customer is published; the submission offers to supply quantified outcomes such as time-to-integration.
- Generation is started by a person, in conversation or from the toolbar; the submission does not show the agent producing documentation unattended.
- Regeneration after a change is a user action, and no change trigger that rewrites documentation by itself is described.
Where this came from
Solution detail is drawn from Patchworks' four-page submission to the hub, Patchworks Documentation Agent, and the product documentation it cites for the screenshots.
