Abstract

The provided systems and methods attempt to address possible issues with the use of third party applications with software as a service (SAAS) platforms, namely that lack of performance of third party app hosting infrastructure running the third party applications can affect multiple clients on the SAAS platform. In order to least mitigate this, third party app providers can create and upload their scripts to the SAAS platform for execution on the SAAS platform. The scripts must conform with extension points within SAAS functionality that are predefined. During execution, when the extension point is reached, the script is run on the SAAS platform instead of making an API call to the application on the third party app hosting infrastructure.
