Business Services Capability Overview
Calling internal BizFirstGO platform services (payroll, HR, finance) from workflow nodes — service registry, authentication, and response mapping.
What Are Business Services?
Business Services are internal BizFirstGO platform microservices that expose operations via a standardized service registry. Rather than hardcoding HTTP URLs in node configurations, nodes call services by a logical serviceId and operationId. The service registry handles endpoint resolution, versioning, and health checks.
Platform Services Available
| Service ID | Domain | Example Operations |
|---|---|---|
payroll-service | Payroll processing | calculatePayslip, processPayRun |
hr-service | HR management | getEmployee, updateLeaveBalance |
finance-service | Finance & accounting | createInvoice, approveExpense |
compliance-service | Regulatory compliance | checkCompliance, generateReport |
notification-service | Cross-channel notifications | sendBatch, getDeliveryStatus |
Call Pattern
{
"nodeType": "BusinessServiceCall",
"config": {
"serviceId": "payroll-service",
"operationId": "calculatePayslip",
"inputMap": {
"employeeId": "$output.fetchEmployee.employeeId",
"periodStart": "$json.periodStart",
"periodEnd": "$json.periodEnd"
}
}
}
// Output:
{
"grossPay": 5000.00,
"netPay": 3850.00,
"deductions": { "tax": 900, "pension": 250 },
"payslipId": "ps-2026-05"
}Key Features
- Service discovery: Endpoint URLs resolved from registry — not hardcoded
- Auth injection:
IBusinessServiceAuthProviderautomatically adds auth headers - Circuit breaker: 5 consecutive failures trip the breaker for 30 seconds
- Versioning: Services declare API versions; nodes can pin to a specific version
