Getting Started with PingOne DaVinci

Chapter 1: Building Basic User Interactions With DaVinci Flows

Build basic user interactions with DaVinci flows.

Lesson 1: Define the Basic Flow and Interaction Steps

Define the basic flow and provide an introduction to the foundational concepts of DaVinci:

• Access and launch the DaVinci admin console
• Build basic user interaction in a flow
• Display entered information
• Collect user age information

Lesson 2: Using Functions and API Calls

Define the basic flow and provide an introduction to the foundational concepts of DaVinci:

• Verify the age of the user
• Collect the user’s email and password
• Implement a robot check
• Document the flow

Lesson 3: Improving the User Experience

Use more advanced concepts in DaVinci to implement your flows:

• Converting user interactions to use HTML templates
• Test the complete flow

Lesson 4: Using Variables and Form Validation

Expand further the functionality of your existing flow by using flow variables and improving interaction with the user:

• Using flow variables and form validation
• Improving form validation inputs

Lesson 5: Using Subflows to Manage Complexity

Externalize functionality that is often reused or complex to its own flow; for example, if the flow needed to connect to an API that isn’t available as a native connector, CRUD operations could be built in a new flow that could be leveraged by many:

• Design base requirements of the subflow
• Implement the subflow
• Implement a test flow for the subflow
• Replace the API call with the subflow

Chapter 2: Integrating a DaVinci Flow Into an Application

Integrate a DaVinci flow into an application.

Lesson 1: Integrating an application to launch a flow

Integrate the flow into a web application which allows the application to provide the CSS (look and feel). Other flows can also be integrated to enable a richer user experience:

• Define the application in DaVinci
• Create your own version of the application
• Customize the application

Lesson 2: Using a CSS in flows vs applications

Review how CSS is leveraged in a flow vs an application, and determine the advantages of leaving the presentation layer controlled by your application rather than using a CSS in your flow:

• Determine how a custom CSS in a flow is embedded with a web application
• Leave the styling in your web application

Lesson 3: Adding a flow to an existing application

Take the flow and integrate it into a web application:

• Import the DaVinci JavaScript library
• Create a div container
• Create a JavaScript method to call the flow
• Render the flow method

Lesson 4: Integrating non-UI flows

Explore how DaVinci can accelerate development when integrating with backend services and APIs, enriching the overall user experience:

• Register for an IP service
• Build out your flow
• Test the flow
• Integrate the flow

Lesson 5: Passing data into a flow from an application

Run through the process of passing data into a flow, whether it has user interaction or not:

• Create a DaVinci subflow
• Change the existing registration flow
• Integrate the flow
• Test the flow and application code

Lesson 6: Performing A/B testing

Define a flow that deals with age first, instead of name, during registration:

• Define a new flow
• Create a test flow
• Build out a flow policy
• Change the web application to invoke the new policy

Chapter 3: Integrating PingOne SSO and Identities in DaVinci Flows

Integrate PingOne SSO and identities in DaVinci flows.

Lesson 1: Setting up parallel processing

Set up a flow that has two paths that execute in parallel and then come to their own conclusion:

• Leverage the PingOne Notification service
• Test your changes

Lesson 2: Creating registered accounts

Take the information collected during the registration process and create a user account in PingOne, which is the first step to expanding the capabilities of the application to support authentication:

• Review email service options
• Review your PingOne setup
• Build out a new registration flow
• Build out a false branch
• Verify if an account already exists
• Include field validation
• Send a welcome email

Lesson 3: Verifying an email address

Establish a process to verify the email address of the user:

• Create an email verification subflow
• Verify the code
• Complete the subflow
• Add the subflow to the registration flow
• Test the subflow

Chapter 4: Building an Authentication Flow in DaVinci

Build an authentication flow in DaVinci.

Lesson 1: Handling authentication

Handle authentication for the application:

• Lay out a logical structure for the flow
• Find a user in PingOne
• Capture and verify the user’s password
• Add password validation to the flow
• Prevent a disabled account
• Check that the email is verified

Lesson 2: Handling forgotten passwords

Handle forgotten password in the authentication flow:

• Build out the user interaction
• Finalize the password reset

Lesson 3: Adding an authentication method

Add another method of authentication, an email magic link, for the users of the application:

• Add a magic link authentication method
• Define the magic link email process
• Complete polling

Chapter 5: Providing Custom Analytics in a DaVinci Flow

Provide custom analytics in a DaVinci flow.

Lesson 1: Leveraging analytics to monitor flow usage

Leverage analytics to monitor flow usage:

• Add login analytics
• Add password authentication analysis
