Flow Overview

Flow Start

The flow initiates with a configurable test or external trigger, beginning the sync process with defined settings for data and assistants. This ensures that sync operations are controlled and activated only when required, providing on-demand or scheduled updates.

Code Example: Event Initialization

// Initialize sync event with data type
msg.payload = {
    eventType: "add",  // or "update", "delete"
    dataType: "vectorStore"  // or "assistant"
};
return msg;

Explanation: Initializes the sync event for either vector store data or assistant data, setting the flow to handle specified operations.

---

Sync Settings Application

The flow configures itself based on specific sync settings, ensuring all data updates and assistant operations align with your current configurations. This step ensures that both vector store and assistant sync processes follow optimal parameters.

Code Example: Set Sync Configuration

// Apply sync settings for vector store and assistants
msg.syncConfig = {
    retryCount: 3,
    updateFrequency: "daily",
    cacheRefresh: true
};
return msg;

Explanation: Sets retry counts, update intervals, and cache settings for both data and assistants to optimize sync performance.

---

Event-Based Data & Assistant Management

The flow dynamically manages events based on type—such as add, update, or delete—for vector store data and assistant configurations. This flexible handling ensures both types of resources stay current without manual updates.

Code Example: Event Type Router

// Route event based on data and type
if (msg.eventType === "add" && msg.dataType === "vectorStore") {
    return [msg, null, null];
} else if (msg.eventType === "update" && msg.dataType === "assistant") {
    return [null, msg, null];
} else if (msg.eventType === "delete" && msg.dataType === "vectorStore") {
    return [null, null, msg];
}

Explanation: Routes each event type to a designated process, adapting to both vector store and assistant updates.

---

File Operations for Vector Stores and Assistant Data

The flow supports the creation, updating, and deletion of files for vector stores and assistant configurations, ensuring both types of data are properly managed with OpenAI’s API.

Code Example: Build File Request for Vector Store

// Build payload for vector store file operation
msg.payload = {
    content: msg.fileData,
    purpose: "vector-store-sync"
};
return msg;

Explanation: Constructs the payload for vector store file operations, specifying data and purpose.

Assistant Configuration Example

// Set up assistant configuration payload
msg.payload = {
    assistantId: msg.assistantData.id,
    configuration: msg.assistantData.config
};
return msg;

Explanation: Prepares assistant data for update, including configuration specifics to keep assistants in sync with current data requirements.

---

Data and Assistant Sync Verification

After each sync operation, the flow verifies success and records it in a summary log, capturing all relevant details of both data and assistant syncs for streamlined management and traceability.

Code Example: Sync Confirmation Log

// Log sync success with operation details
msg.payload = {
    status: "success",
    dataType: msg.dataType,
    operation: msg.eventType,
    timestamp: new Date().toISOString()
};
return msg;

Explanation: Logs successful syncs for both vector store and assistant data, providing a clear history of sync activities.

---

Flow Completion

The flow concludes with a final log summarizing all completed operations, ensuring continuity in data management and assistant configuration updates across applications.
