Integration teams learn why a flow failed, and get a remediation proposed, without reading run logs themselves.
Patchworks Migration Agent
Integrations move off an older platform from an export file instead of a manual reverse-engineering and rebuild.
An agent reads an integration export from another platform, works out what every step does, and hands the rebuild to a second agent that creates the flow.
What the agents do
Reads an export from another platform on its own, works out what the flow does, and states what it can create before anything is built.

01
The problem
Why this exists
Moving integrations off another platform, legacy middleware, or custom code is one of the largest barriers to changing platforms at all. Every existing flow has to be reverse-engineered and documented step by step, then rebuilt shape by shape, with its mappings, conditions, and error handling re-created by hand. The work is slow, it is risky, and it depends on specialists who know both the platform being left and the one being adopted.

The people who carry that cost are merchants changing platforms, the partners and systems integrators who run those migrations for them, and the internal implementation teams who inherit the result. A migration stretches into a long project, and each flow is a fresh exercise in reading someone else's configuration.

Outcomes
What changes when this is in place
- Integrations migrate from an export file, instead of being reverse-engineered and rebuilt by hand.
- Each legacy flow comes back as a plain-language breakdown of what it does, plus a list of what the export does not carry.
- The migration starts from a working flow in Patchworks, with a test plan to check parity against the old one before switching over.

- Open questions surface before the build, and nothing is created until the user confirms what the agent says it can create.

How it works
Architecture
The Migration Agent is a platform agent inside AI Studio, the agent layer of the Patchworks integration platform. A user opens it from Platform Agents and uploads the original export of a flow from the platform they are leaving, usually JSON, XML, or a zip, or supplies custom integration code. Optionally they attach a sample payload or a note on what the flow is for. The agent reads the file itself rather than working from a fixed template, and says so where something is unclear instead of guessing.

Its analysis covers the source platform, the flow's name, schedule, and timezone, where data is read from and written to and how, by API, RESTlet, file transfer, or database, and every step in order with the field mappings, conditions, filters, and hardcoded values it can find. It separates what the export does not carry, such as credentials, saved search IDs, lookup tables, and mappings, so those can be completed after the build. It also writes the checks that confirm the new flow matches the old one, including error scenarios.
The translation to Patchworks is structural. Triggers and schedules become Trigger shapes, sources and destinations become connector shapes on installed connectors, mappings become Map shapes, conditions become Filter, Route, and Branch shapes, lookups become cross-reference lookups, error handling becomes Try/Catch and Notify shapes, and custom code becomes Script shapes. The agent states exactly what it can create and what the user will need to configure, and it asks before building. On confirmation it hands the build brief to an Implementation Agent, which creates the flow, or several flows when the export holds more than one, and reports back with links to each. Those flows run on Patchworks' deterministic integration runtime, and connections are made in Patchworks because credentials are never carried over from the old platform.
The submission's worked example is a Celigo (integrator.io) export of a NetSuite to Whiplash item export flow. The agent identifies the platform, the flow, the schedule, the timezone, and the source; the user confirms the build; and it creates the equivalent scheduled flow in Patchworks with NetSuite and FTP connector steps, flagging the saved search ID and the field mappings still to complete.

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 time-to-integration figure, migration count, or named customer is published; the submission offers to supply quantified outcomes later.
- The submission describes one worked example, a Celigo export of a NetSuite to Whiplash item flow, and reports no completed customer migration.
- The submission does not say whether the Migration Agent can be started by anything other than a person uploading an export file.
- How the agent handles a platform whose export it has not seen, or an export that cannot be parsed, is not described.
Where this came from
Solution detail is drawn from Patchworks' three-page submission to the hub, Patchworks Migration Agent, and the Migration Agent product documentation it cites for its product screenshots.
