Techniques for semantic analysis-based generation of plug-in application recipes (PIAR's) are disclosed. Responsive to receiving a data item that specifies (a) a desired genus of actions and/or (b) a desired genus of triggers, a PIAR management application performs semantic analysis on the data item to identify one or more candidate PIAR's. The candidate PIAR(s) is/are identified based at least in part on mapping of actions and/or triggers to the desired genus of actions and/or the desired genus of triggers. The mapping is based at least in part on metadata, associated with profiles for plug-in applications, corresponding to actions and/or triggers. The PIAR management application stores, for each plug-in application, a corresponding profile to define the plug-in application for use in one or more future PIAR's. Based on user input approving a particular PIAR in the one or more candidate PIAR's, the PIAR management application executes the particular PIAR.
